This group will be an incredibly helpful bunch for you! I would suggest getting a acct.#s with NGC/PCGS(free) and possibly joining the ANA (40 bucks) to get access to their databases to research prices/photos so you don't get burned pricewise. The chinese are cranking out a lot of pretty good fakes now and have in the past too! Best of luck to you....
Me and you are about to have to go out back Bill if you don't move off the coins I'm after brother. We just got good taste though I reckon.
See those are the coins you need to stick with, safely outta my way with those higher denominations. On that same note, did you see the AU-58 1878-S Trade that Gerry had?
Yeah. And like the real tough stuff like the 73 and 78 cc in au 73-s another tough date as in 75 p in business strike
Here are a few that I just got imaged by Robec 1846-P NGC AU-55 1847-P NGC AU-DT DDR 1858-P ANACS AU-58 1874-S PCGS AU-55 I dont agree with that NGC Details grade on that 1847 DDR, they bagged it over the scratch above the eagles left wing. I think they scrutinized it too hard verifying it for the variety. It was previously in an ANACS AU-53 Holder
Ngc real picky about scratches. Pcgs not so much especially on toned over ones on early circulated stuff
