Judging by the photo at the top of this thread... by 1883 they were crankin' out some really nice ones !

 

id like to hear your opinion on the coin

 

No doubt, 900!

Thanks for the correction/clarification, GDJMSP. Rather than debate the meaning of the word proof, let's just agree to disagree.... Without question, you are right though in that I should have used words like "Although it is an issue hotly debated for a long time, I believe..." rather than "To be truthful" to be more clear and less authoritative. As you said, it has been discussed for a long time before us, and likely will be an issue long after we're gone (hopefully a LONG time!).

Have a nice evening everyone...Mike

 

Here is mine. Not as nice, but mirrors well and for the price I paid I am happy with it.

Considering how amazing his nickel looks, it sure was.
He's a swell fella.


It was actually bad form of me to post a pic of mine in his thread.
For that, I apologize.
I've been lacking a proper amount of sleep lately.

 

no no and no it wasnt a pity post no 2 coins are the same and for someone who loves the hoby you have to be able to admire coins other than your own.

Nice coin! Really sharp - it would fit nicely with these two. And hey rotobeast you were suppose to ship me that '83. I still haven't forgotten. : )

Yours is certainly nicer than mine the 80 is a 65 and the 79 is a 63. The reverse of the 80 is actually nicer than the picture looks. The 79 is a little flat for a proof. I also have a 1879/8, but I posted that sometime earlier. I don't think I have posted these two before. What is really cool about the 79 is you can see doubling around the obverse and the reverse. I do know some of the proofs are cheaper than some of the MS grades.

 

A beautiful example of a beautiful coin!
