Some Beautiful ERROR and VARIETY Charmy NEWPS!!

Just picked these up at the Santa Clara sow (purchases were pre-arranged from two separate parties). The errors were purchased from Xan Chamberlain who has an enviable and amazing Indian cent error collection. The two varieties were purchased from another one of my favorite variety collectors - the same guy I bought that blue/green 1894/1894 Indian cent a few months back! Any way, I just love them and couldn't wait to post them (and a big thanks to Todd for being so quick with his magical photographic skills)!

These first two are really beautiful off center errors....





I just bought this same variety and then was presented with this beautiful higher grade example and couldn't pass it up....



This is a very rare 5-star double die obverse variety and I believe this coin is the top pop for this variety, plus it has absolutely beautiful toning....



And here's the 1894/1894 I mentioned that I bought a while back from the same variety collector....

I like that 1894. That is sharp. I also find that top off center most intriguing - seeing what happens to the graining when the coin is struck.

 

Charmy,

I absolutely love your posts. They are always numismatic eye candy. That eye appeal of that 1864 is off the charts. Congratulations on your newest pickups.

 

Also, you may have noticed that first o/c also has a really bold die crack!

 

Charmy: Some excellent examples of Off-Centers. Congrats on the new acquisitions.

 

Really nice cents. Your NEWPS are always interesting and beautiful. My favorite is the red brown 50% off center one but the 1864 comes in really close behind.

 

As always....BEAUTIFUL CENTS! The 1894 is just outstanding!

 

Very nice! I liked the 1864 br the best, but all are beauties.

 

WoW !

 

darn it you made me want to trade in some coins....

 

Neat and pretty coins. Thanks for sharing.

 

Very nice errors,

The 30% look awesome

Really nice, but, what is the variety on the 1864?

or is it just the NO L?

Then why the closeup?

 

I wonder if anyone can identify the year on the first coin based on that die crack.

 

It's a no L, and why the close up? Lathe lines!

 

Treas, if you look carefully, you'll see circular lathe polishing lines on the face that look like a bulls-eye. The lines go all the way into the headdress as well. They are very unusual and quite prominent on the coin itself, and I just love this variety. This one happens to be a beautiful high grade coin as well.

 

Beautiful coins!

"Lathe lines" is not something you'd want to say 5 times quickly!

 

Almost as beautiful as my waitress today, Happy Thanksgiving...

 

love the off centers!
