Well done!

 

Very nice!


I can’t wait to get back to flipping coins on eBay...

 

Nice repunch date 001

 

Under the microscope, I would say "no" but I'm an amateur, so if I'm missing it, please let me know. I wondered about it for a second, myself, but think I was just thrown off by the wear/damage at the bottom of the 2.

 

It appears to me that an initial punch just left and a bit counter clockwise may be evident. However; there are die breaks between the digits which should settle the question if you have good images of a known repunched date of the same variety. Match the die breaks and find an answer.

 

Went herd-hunting for 7070 upgrades killing time on a trip up north yesterday. $22 for both.

Bought to replace this one but I may keep the 37 in there now that I see both:

 

Just noticed the 36 looks like it might be an S/S? Will have to investigate. @Paddy54

 

Very Nice!!! That '36-S does look like an RPM. There is a really nice and bold S/S for 1936 that is harder to find in higher grades.

 

Looks like an S/S 36 to my eye....

 

I just picked this S-154 R4+, the last of the Large 8s, up for $46.49. Just under the $50 limit.


This appears at first glance to be worse than it is. The wear patterns are due to buckling of the dies rather than excessive circulation. I suspect it would rate G6 at worst and possibly VG. It is also the latest die state of this variety I have seen. It has all the earmarks of Die State III, the last described in Breen, but the obverse buckling in the right field has been joined by additional buckling in the left Obverse field which obscures L and extends downward through the ribbon and on to the edges of the hair curls. There also appears to be a new die crack from the rim above I through the middle of B back up through E and rejoining the rim above R.

This along with the spreading of the buckling on the reverse to extend all the way to the upright of R and new buckling on the left through to the lower left ribbon would appear to warrant calling this a new Die State IV.

ps There also appears to be a CUD which has formed where the clash marks were previously present on earlier Die States between the right ribbon and the adjoining foot of A. While not unique, it usually occurs at the rims. The exceptions seem to be on the small areas near lettering, or in this case, lettering and the ribbon.

 

Rescued from the melt bucket today:

 

Nice. I'm going to have to go over my Kennedy Silver and see what I have. I just hate to take them out of the cellophane that makes seeing them difficult.

 

I just thought I'd try out imaging silver. Any hints would be appreciated. It's under $50 for sure since I picked these up for Bulk silver prices when it was about $21/oz.

 

Second Attempt

 

$46. E over A variety. (see reverse). It's rough, but a tough variety and CHEAP!

 

Got this for my desk last year for around $10. Not entirely sure what is up with the surfaces of the coin but I kinda like it.
