Yeah me too! Nice one of a kind tone

 

What do you know - I coin with my initials on it. Nice find!

 

Oops -sorry for the duplicate posts.

 

Same here - another duplication maybe moderators can clean them up.

 

I was looking at the DLRC website and noticed this attractive 76-S Trade Dollar, type 2/2. I thought I saw something inside the loop of the 6. After the coin arrived, I could see that is has a repunched 6, CPG variety FS-301, not attibuted on the NGC holder. Graded MS-62.

 

Just picked this one up this week

 

Just bought this don't have it in hand yet - thinking perhaps sending it to CAC with a few others. Any guesses about it's CAC worthiness? It's currently graded MS62. I'm thinking it's probably album toning as it's so even on both sides. But I like that. I've definitely seen other coins with album toning that passed CAC.

 

I love that you can tell what this is/was!

 

BACK FROM PCGS - NOT CLEANED

 

1927-S Peace Dollar . I kinda like the old school patena. This is going right in the album

 

I think it is harshly cleaned. There is shine but not luster. But maybe I'm wrong.

 

Yea, the surface looks oddly rough...

 

Don’t forget that many of the early large cents (1794-96 and some 97 varieties) were struck on poor quality Coltman blanks, which impacted their quality even more. 1793s were made on scrap copper of even lower quality.

My 1798 S-184 is brown, and my 1797 S-121b is almost jet black. The S-121b is slightly porous, but I think the way the different planchet reacted made the difference.

 

That seems true for this variety as well. Almost all of them are steeply discounted due to corrosion, even those high in the condition census. It probably has something to do with the substandard planchets.

 

This arrived today. A nice upgrade for the Morgans.

 

My two newest $2.5 Indians.
