    These are the ones which fit the bill, or less.
    Just the 1838-O Half Dime cost about 15 dollars more. This is a scarce coin, but it does have a deep dent at the edge at 10:00.

    I have a few others but no pictures. 1827 Cent - N-9 - OBV - REV - March 26 2025  - March 2026.png 1840 large cent - OBV : REV - old picture but very good - before adi...

    I'm suprised that those first two large cents fit within the pricerange indicated.

    One more I've just remembered:

    1820 quarter, 70 euros + shipping.

    Yes, I am almost ashamed to admit: The 1827 N-9 cost 95 euros, and the 1840 a little more, 100 euros+ commission.

    Cherry picked another 1886 VAM1-C for $100.88 including shipping last month. This will make my 7th in that year, mint, and VAM. This one has a shot at a high grade IMO.

    From last week, another 1886 VAM1-C, not noted on the slab, but absolutely identified. $99.99, free shipping. It's the poorest example of this VAM I own. Might just send it to VSS for the attribution label.

    Nice 1886s! Does the 1886 VAM1-C sell for a premium?

    That is 1886P. I don't know why ANACS uses a dollar sign there, it confuses people. That VAM is worth a small premium, nothing crazy. Hot 50 Clash. I just like collecting them. They have several clashes, not just the main double wreath clashes, so they are easy to spot with a decent photo of the reverse. The olive branch has an eye socket clash from the obverse, a small die break nearby and almost all of them have a clash on the eagles neck, looks like an Adam's apple. The literature doesn't list that last one but all of them have it. (at least all 7 of mine do).

    I paid $90 for this when I was building a raw and certified set of Indian Cents. It is a semi-key date. The grade was EF-45.

    In my shorthand, "1886s" is plural for 1886. "1886-Ss" is plural for 1886-S.

    I actually saw a seller advertise a coin in an ANACS holder and listed it as "S" because of the dollar sign. I snapped it up quickly because the value difference was crazy. I went back 5 minutes later and cancelled the order after I inspected the reverse more closely.:D

    No need for a slab though, well second thought it might eventually make it into one. On these error types they just say no date memorial rev Lincoln.
