Always better to combine shipping but it doesn't always work out. If he wasn't good with the price he wouldn't have taken your offer. Your end stayed the same with free shipping.
Nothing special about this one, at least I don't think there is? But, I didn't happen to have one, and for $35, I now have one.
Picked this up in Lakeland last week to replace the scudzy raw example in the US Type Set. Nice die break on reverse. Seller claimed doubling of facial profile but I'm not seeing it.
I believe they engraved around the portrait on hub(s) to make it "pop." You can see it on many 1942s at the forehead and forelock if you zoom in on high quality images. Haven't looked at 1943s but maybe it's the same.
It's been a while since I've shown newps here . . . time to do some catching up. An 1852-O dime . . . A 1915-S nickel . . . An iota of PVC or verdigris at 2:00, but oh, so original! A 1974-D Lincoln Cent Struck Thru Fabric (Yes, from a fellow CT member) . . . An 1849-O Half Dime Struck Thru a Rolling Fold at 3:00 . . .
Some more newps: A scarce 1870-S Dime . . . A very nicely toned 1904 Half Eagle . . . An uncommon 1872-S Half Dollar . . . A conditionally scarce 1914 Quarter Eagle . . .
