I know I'm supposed to be selling. But I finally got my first NC. I just won this on Heritage:

It's not even a bargain as $2000 seems to be the going rate for a VG and this is called G Details (that's pushing it) and is double holed so cut in half twice makes it about a $500. But the Buyer's premium and taxes for us Texans probably means I paid a little over. But you know me. I don't mind the damage as much on a coin with strength at the attribution points.

Happy Birthday Big fellow

hereittis2 - the obverse picture is way too small to really tell. Try a larger picture. If necessary, start a new thread or just send me the pic.

The only thing I saw is something above the "T"; it looks like a bang or cut or something. Appears to be post-Mint damage, but it's hard to say.

hi..i posted the 1856 half today...im contacting you cause i cant seem to reply to the thread..i appreciate your insight...can you tell me what you think that is in the obverse shield..i was going to post a larger picture...dont mean to bother you but obv.has me curious too...could it be a partial number?

I posted my results of a roll I bought on eBay in the wrong forum. Sorry

Happy Birthday, hope it was a good one for you.

Hi 900,
Thank you very much for the tip about the Book 'In Yankee Doodle's Pocket'. I shall try to get a copy of it.
Funny what you said about keeping up with the Joneses and such - pls excuse me, not my intention at all. You don't know how many dishes I had to pledge my wife I will wash in exchange for bein 'allowed' to get this coin!
Thanks and take care,

Eduard

Numismatic present ? No, not yet. But some darn good shopping ! I went to Heritage in Dallas and gave a thorough look-see of the auction lots for the upcoming Long Beach soiree.

Daddy gonna git a present out o' this - fo shizzle.

That is one heckuva a good way to learn AND shop for what you want. It's like a giant coin show, all at your fingertips. Some strong material, that's fo sho.
