Wow those are some lovely coins, Huge. Congrats.

I especially like the 1866 50c.

Hugh has the knockouts for sure. Love the half dollar proof!

 

@Hugh Stiel , isn't that 92-CC an upgrade from an XF-45 ex Sunny Day Collection you previously posted?

Also, can you get a pre-1857 proof?

 

Had been eyeing this for a while and really like the gold toning. Not the best pictures, my apologies...

 

I don't think so. Several early Liberty head quarter Eagles have equally low prices in XF and high prices in MS. E.g. compare 1846-O with 1844 or 1847. They're all scarce in higher grades... the 1896-S Morgan would be a better example. $125 in VF35 and $5000 in MS63/64.

Talking about 1896 Morgan's here's my newest acquisition:




Any comments on this Morgan? I know exactly what it is, do you know as well? ;-)

 

We have a few O over CC mints, and it almost looks like that to me - but I've never heard of it on an 1896.

Then again, I could be way off. There's something weird about the mint mark though.

 

Picked up a couple gold eagles on the pullback last week. They just arrived. Got a nice 1898 with a large die crack through United States of America.

 

Capped die? But on an 1896?

 

VAM-22, I think.

 

Nice pick. I'd like to get my hands on one someday.

 

You are way off indeed

Correct, it's a micro O mm. I think @SuperDave nailed it, but I haven't received the coin yet and can't confirm the exact VAM.

 

One more Barber Dime for the dansco.

Coming along nicely.

 

new quarter

..

 

nice micro O

 

New pickup from @CBD

 

and another

 

Got this pretty Capped Bust Half Dime recently.

 

Just got this for well under value, looks MS, yes ? Think I should send it in ?

 

I would as they're easier to sell in a holder. I'd call it ms 63

 

I agree with Bill the reverse is nice the obv. Will hold it at a 63. Still a nice MS Morgan dollar.
