Wow, someone's Carson City pocket piece!? Sweet!!!!

 

Nice Pick!!! Where did you buy it if you don't mind me asking? Did they know it was a CC?

 

It was marked as a CC and was $37.

It’s been on a bar top or two.

 

I would have bought that in a heartbeat. Those are hard to find as a low ball, since just over half of the entire mintage was stored away in a government vault for decades.

 

Another crossover from the Attribute This thread.

This is a common S-223 R1. But is is a very rare die state (VI) and even rarer as an early die state VI with the Obverse CUD at the bust tip not fully developed. I purchased it for $41.41 and used up $23.99 in soon to expire eBay bucks leaving cash out of pocket of $17.42.


This is a typical Die State VI:


You'll notice the angle of the CUD towards the date is acute early and becomes more obtuse as the CUD develops.

Not bad for under $50.

 

$25:

 

$35: Newcomb 5, Die State C, I believe... @Marshall

 

Looking at the Noyes literature, I think this woud be late C or more likely early D Obverse Die Stage. The Rim CUD at stars 5 and 6 is less filled in than the comp for D, but the rim break just right of star 7 looks more advanced than that same comp.

A bit confusing, but I'm sure the bold strike has something to do with it.

It's certainly a nice piece.

 

Great dime Please with you sharing

 

Anybody know Chuck?

 

I like the 98 the best. The color matches my avatar.

 

$45 including shipping.

 

+1

 

Don't quite recall exactly how much, but certainly below $45.

 

$20, and lookie what we have here. FS-801 DDR (so-called 5 legged buffalo). I have no idea if it's AU58 or MS63.

 

Yeah. Went back a day or so to look at this merc again. Thats a nice dime. Ive never did that before. I can see the slight blem above epu right of the leaves. I find it truthful and daring to show that 20 in thar matter. 68

 

Damn. I always wanted or wished that my first and last coin in a series would look half as good as your example of a last of series 1909. Sweet

 

When I spoke to Bill Fivaz on how to grade buffalo nickels, he told me to always look at the buffalo’s hip for wear first. I see no wear there on your coin, so I’d say MS.
