Did it come with a grade when you bought it? I see a nick under the date, so it could be a problem coin and worth a buck or two.
That '29 is pristine.
Sorry, just PMD. You can see the rim is damaged (i.e. the coin is not round like coop suggested), for example.
First, I'd take some pics of them and post them here and ask the experts here for input on grade. If the consensus is that they really are that...
That's a pretty serious filled die. Love the detail on the other side of it (which would be the reverse?).
It weighs 2700 pounds (and this info is not contained in the first link). That's more than a ton of quarters!
gee, thanks for taking the time to correct me.
Thanks Billy - large cuds on any Indian are few and far between. And I like your 98 WAM - can't recall seeing that crack at any stage on any others.
Great Indians here. What's going on in the neck region on your 1870?
put it in perspective. how did the composition change things in 1864? 1943? or 1982? More importantly, what precursor led to the composition...
Indian cud Here's an unlisted cud on an 1872 Indian cent.
From those low-quality pics, I can tell the 2nd 8 is broken in the right place to be from the obverse proof dies. However, the snow-3 for the...
I forgot about my neatest rarest coin with a die rotation! It's an 1863 bronze Indian head cent Proof 62, with a die rotation of 170 degrees....
Might be a good thing to point out: when we talk about a coin's rotation, we should talk in degrees. that is, a 180 degree rotation is a 'medalic...
Just a misaligned die - extremely common for the year.
Wowsers! that's great. It's legit and I say that primarily because you can make out the world "UNITED" on the obverse around 12:00. And it's...
good call on that scratch - i didn't see that, and feel one wouldn't see it well with the particular photos.
First, I need to state that I don't like this seller's descriptions. I notice that his hype doesn't match the coins: i see his coins listed as...
Beautiful, but you see the price tag keeps getting marked up. Buying this coin would be like driving a new car off the dealer's lot - you'd be...
That commemorative pickup was a HUGE win. And it's gorgeous.
