Paid $45.00 for this from a coin dealer while on vacation in Hampton N.H. Oldest coin in my collection but someone carved their initials on the reverse.
Here's my latest pick up on eBay. Was listed as a Buy It Now at $22.00 on sale for $18.70 or Best Offer and free shipping, I submitted an offer of $13.00 and they accepted!! I was pretty happy when it arrived.
Nice Woodie!! I love those interesting Lincoln's. So much better than just a run of the mill Red.. If I want a red Lincoln I'll go to the bank.
This little coin may not appeal to everybody, but it is an JR-2, Rarity 5+ die variety of the 1821 dime, and it only cost me approx. $10. 1821 JR-2 is within the top 5 scarcest Capped Bust Dime varieties. It is worth a little more, and for a CBD collector, priceless.
1842-O Seated Quarter. with normal size date. I paid approx. $ 46. It is a very scarce variety of the type, with eagle with open claws on right foot. Not a well known variety, but quite scarce.
Agreed on both counts. Everybody has their "things" in numismatics - errors, varieties, toners, blast-white - and this one pushes all of my buttons.
