Two new additions to the set
1851-O XF40



1859-S XF40

 

1840 Seated Silver (note that the second half dollar is actually from the New Oreans mint (O)

 

Very nice set.

 

I'm currently getting my SLH collection graded and crossed for the PCGS registry. As I empty my Dansco, get coins graded, and add them to my registry, my SLH virtual album is now filled to the point where I have entire rows (3 coins) completed. The virtual album looks nice, IMO. Here's a peek at a few rows.

 

Really nice 1851-O. Pretty coin.

 

The coin shows AU50 details and surprising luster. Some minor corrosion spots on the obverse and granularity on the thigh may have knocked it back a bit. It's a delight to look at it, though.

 

You should sell that one to me Mr. Barbarian!

 

Mine, while graded 53 CAC, sure is not a beauty!

 

Not Catbert! My lone colorful coin and you want it for a duplicate? I work the eBay VG-VF SLH 'coal mines' while he picks all the flowers.

I'm holding this coin for someone. They're gonna want their avatar coin back someday.

Your 51-O is absolutely stunning!

 

Actually, you should sell yours to me, Catbert. I've been enjoying the coin for the past 5 minutes.

 

PCGS flunks overdates.

My early die state WB-1 1855/54 mysteriously misidentified as an PCGS VF35 1855 normal date. The world wonders.


Another 1855/54 (WB-2) misidentified by PCGS as an XF45 1855 normal date. Former owner got screwed at auction as a result.

 

You have to pay extra for them to get it right.

 

I doubt they will ever get this attribution correct because it would require them to do a reed count. Despite explicit instructions to do a reed count to verify this scarce R6 die state, it was labeled as WB-11, which is an R2. It's another waste of my attribution fees. Anyway, the coin has a nice, crusty original look and shows under the wing some of the iron that contaminated planchets in 1840.

"1840-O WB-11, 146 reeds, Large O"

 

Here are some new TrueViews of newly graded or crossed coins. I agree with all of the grades.

NGC AU58 crossed to PCGS AU55


PCGS VF30


PCGS F12


1879 PCGS F15


ANACS VF35 crossed to PCGS VF30.

 

@Barberian
I really like that 57-O

 

Thanks! I like it as well and it's my avatar coin on the CU forums. It's been lightly brushed in the past so that there are some fine hairlines, but it has a choice circulated cameo look to it. I held off submitting the coin because I'd seen other coins with this almost perfect look, be assigned a details grade. PCGS didn't have a problem with this coin, though, when I finally submitted it for grading.

 

This is a nice pair of circulated cameo coins. The blue tint to the 46-O is due to correcting the orange tint in the TrueView to better match the coin in-hand.

 

Here's another one but the dimbulbs at TrueView bleached out the dark fields ruining the circulated cameo look whereby the lighter toned Ms. Liberty emerges out of dark, glass-like fields as if lit by moonlight. The best way to show that effect here is to show another coin with that look.

NGC AU53 that has been properly crossed to PCGS XF45.


NGC AU50 - a darkly toned 'gem.'
