    just going to keep it short. an 1802 LC i got in a trade at a coin shop i had never been to before which is somewhat a distance. the 1935 S peace i got at the wednesday auctions. the 1925 peace i got at franksville. the 87 - 85 O morgans and 1998 ASE were from one of my usual guys.

    other notes
    the 6 ran me a total of $245.
    i would grade the 1802 F-20 NET VG-8. i dont know what to make of the reverse die cracks(?).
    4 of the pics were taken by my friends camera and 2 by mine.
    the 85 O morgan does have luster but it doesnt want to look nice in any photo.

    any opinions/comments appreciated (especially on the LC).

    Lugia,

    I see a lot of pimples (raised dots) on that LC. Are you sure it is genuine?

    Love the colors on the Morgans and Silver eagle!

    We may need a higher resolution picture of the large cent to be able to make any determination about authenticity, variety, etc.

    i tried new pics and weighed it
    9.81g S 230?
    i did take it to have a dealer look at yesterday and he didnt say anything about it possibly being counterfiet.

    Yes it is an S-230, it has the diagnostic rim-base of T to leaf below A-ES-rim. The other "crack" on the right hand side is actually a corrosion artifact. This coin has seen some severe corrosion and I would call it sharpness of a 20 net G-4.

    I guess my post this morning...yesterday morning, got lost. It's over a gram light, but I understand that might not be too unusual for dug coins.
