It is circulated thats why I said the under the tree. I know who Rocky was lol.

 

Found a matching coin to my other recent Morgan DPL. This one's an 1885 DPL with very similar toning.

 

Being born and raised in Florida you do not see moose of course. The last 2 years I had the pleasure of spending time in Maine. Up in Patten, Maine. Never been there until last year. Too me seeing a moose for the first time in the wild was amazing. Of course until I went there I thought a pine marten was a bird until I saw one of them as well. So flat lander of me lol

 

Wow nice piece ☆☆☆☆☆

Here's a CBQ I just acquired. This one is a real beauty in hand and these pictures don't do it justice.

This quarter is a late die stage 1833 B-1. Both the obverse and reverse dies for this marriage became heavily pitted from rust. The uneven surface in the fields caused by the pitted dies led to the formation of some unusual and beautiful patterns of toning on this coin.

If you look at the area around and below Liberty's ear on the obverse you will see heavy die clash marks from the shield on the reverse. Likewise, if you look below the right and left wings of the eagle on the reverse you will see heavy die clash marks from the back of Liberty's cap and hair and light clash marks from Liberty's lips and chin.

This quarter is a die stage 3, which is the best example of pitting and clashing in this series. There is a later die stage for this marriage, however, it occurred after they had lapped the reverse die to remove the clashing and rust pits, which also weakened some of the devices.




Here is an obv/rev overlay of a small CBQ that I created to illustrate how the die clashing occurs for this series. Please note that this only applies to the small variety of CBQs. Die clashing for large CBQs are different than this.

 

Very nice IHC Carboni!!!
