half cents
Bonanza was supposed to set around/ slightly before Civil War, so Morgans shouldn't have existed.
nice coin for about $25 ! It would be very hard to find a few dozen like it, very close to Fine, certainly a very honest strong VG-10.
yes, that's doable. I remember split grades, but realistically a coin should ordinarily be circulated in a manner so that it receives roughly...
It definetly looks cleaned, but most have been.
How do you handle a coin to wear one side more than the other ? I don't see much difference, strike could be what you call wear. As to color...
A lot of color difference between obverse and reverse, not sure why, for grade I think low VF is there, certainly a real strong fine at minimum.
I'm not a big slab fan, a coin like this is cool to have out of slab, you aren't going to damage it, however slabbed it becomes more saleable......
I'd be curious as to why it never got slabbed ?
I was wondering about that system myself.
But can it be determined if a circ coin is a circulated proof or a business strike ? The proof would wear like a regular coin. If it was a well...
Heritage shows 216 business strikes graded and 122 proofs. Can you tell if a mid level circ was a proof ? VF-20 lists about $700,...
So what really happenned here ? Roughly went from $500, to 3k, to 10k ( 2 bids).
The 1852 doesn't look too bad. It may be cleaned, but long ago. Reverse looks like it's naturally toned. The other one looks better, but I'd...
Does anything common ( or rare) ever sell for thousands of times its value ?
It's up to 10k+ now ! WTF ! You can buy a real one in Good for that. Must be ghost bids.
Must make it toughto be an honest seller.
So what will it sell for ? It's at $440 now. I'll guess $1151.
I'd return it.
Watch out if the guy happens to find a wreath cent in Grandpa's stuff...
