Thread: Another newp, type set album. 1804-1960

I've made yet another controversial "raw" purchase. However, this is probably my best yet. 52 coins in 2 albums. I have a hunch that 9-10 of them have been lightly cleaned. 3-4 of those are very obviously cleaned but the other ones are harder to tell. Of these pictures it will be obvious which ones have the hairlines (some pictures with hairlines are from scratches on the "window"). Got a pretty good deal on them. And even though one of the 3-Cent Silver pieces is supposed to be a 1968 in EF+, it turned out to be an 1859 EF+ (which is still nice, just not AS nice). Let me know what you guys think... There are quite a few pictures!

Love type coins! Thanks for sharing!!

Last post of pictures. I LOVE the tone on the 1859!

Love the details on the 1853 and 1859 quarters, and that's a pretty nice looking 1804 half cent, but that 1810 large cent I'd say is the prize here. Looks like a nice solid cent to me! Awesome pickup!

Why would you say that? Even over the 1804 Half Penny? The 1810 is far from the most valuable or the most rare.

If there's one thing I learned from putting a 7070 together, it's that rarity of mintage means nothing except in prices. I have an 1804 half cent as well and it was a he11 of a lot easier to find than a classic head large cent, no matter the grade. Only one shop in town had one, and it was almost smooth, but I had my pick of draped bust half cents in a variety of grades. Every show in the area showed the same results. So I say that because for me the classic head large cent was a pain to even find, let alone in any decent shape.

Love the seated quarter w/ rays! Been looking to pick one up for a while now. Nice set!
