A couple added to the stable. I bought the 93-O and 06-O in Baltimore. I once owned the 06-O before and didn't even realize it until later. No wonder I liked it so much. The 06-D was a recent Ebay purchase.

 

That 06 is a beauty

@HAB 28 peace$ , that 1878-CC is *way* nice for a 63, isn't it?

 

@HAB 28 peace$

Those are two splendid Morgans!

 

Yes, it is very well struck. It's even nice for a CC. It could of been graded ms 64.

 

Looks appropriately graded to me. Nice coin with a solid strike. Upper end 63 as I see it.

 

Got the Mark Twain proof in PF 70 to go with my MS 70 one:

 

Nice BHs!

 

I kinda like this.... yeah I say it's a clash...

 

1839-0 50c NGC PF 64 CAC 1 of 4 or 5 made in New Orleans like me . Why do you think they would have made only 4 Proofs ? Very little information available . What's the difference between a Special and a Proof?

 

Here is what my ebay bucks bought, a Augustus provincial with Rhoemetalces I, but the scarcer 4 head with Livia, Augustus wife.


KINGS of THRACE, Sapaian. Rhoemetalces I, with Pythodoris, Augustus, and Livia (Late 1st century BC-AD)
Æ 27
O: Heads of Augustus, laureate, and Livia, conjoined right; to right, capricorn right, holding globe.
R: Diademed head of Rhoemetalces and draped bust of Pythodoris, conjoined right.
27mm
13.8g
Youroukova 182-4, 186; RPC I 1708

 

The proof has specially polished planchets. And specially prepared dies.

The Specimens usually may have somewhat polished planchets and just an early die state of the die.

 

A knockout, Mike!

 

Very nice coin. 63?
