Going to hit this with some Verdi-care but it’s still pretty cool. According to the Schenkman book of Sutler tokens it’s an R7 which he has as between 11-20 known. The reverse is hard to read because of the poor strike. It reads : John Stanton / Die Sinker / Cincinnati
Sweet pickup! I havnt added any to my grading set in quite a while. I have. Abigail show this Friday, do we shall see!
Wanted a nice Clad Roosevelt Dime for my Type set. Won this GC for little money despite the grade, as its not Full Bands. I thought the obverse looked great in particular.
That was the first and only set I ever collected to completion. I also did Proof 69 DCAM specifically. I don't remember how long it took me, maybe a few years. It was a fun time, as I had very little money, and sniped coins as I could here and there until I had them all. Nicely done.
Manchester NH? That's the show I'll be going to! I'll be there Friday, any chance you will be? Should meet up!
Best choice VF Bust half dollar I've seen in a while. I am not a CAC fanboy, but this coin truly deserves a sticker. It's not only a nice Bustie, but a rather scarce R4 variety, too :-D @okbustchaser
Not my favorite series, but that is one beautiful capped bust half. Nice pickup! Don't know much about grading halves, but seems like it kinda deserves an EF-40, since it seems to still have some luster.
I dig the 09'S VDB Santini. And yeah, there is plenty of luster left on that VF35. Here is a no line Fatty, that I picked up at the Denver Coin Expo. No grade cause I might do a GTG. It has much deeper surfaces than the photo shows.
Nice coin, and seems to be even tougher than the 5- (60 to 75 examples known) rarity rating would signify.
I’m glad you posted this and I happened to read it today. I unfortunately usually miss the Manchester show and am always disappointed that I do since it’s the biggest closest show to me. I grew up one town over from the show and actually lived in Manchester for a few years. Still live relatively close so I always try to get to that show if I can. Thanks again for posting! What table will you be at? I’ll try to stop by and introduce myself if I can.
Hi, sorry I didn't see this. I was there from 10am to 3. Great show! For a couple new pickups I have to take pictures of. I may do the April show if you plan on going. Maybe Vertigo will go too. Get a group together. Would be fun to put faces to names.
