That was a very cool display and I'm glad GC left it intact!
I'll guess 65, the obv surfaces look great and the luster seems thick. Hit on the bird's breast but I think it's really nice.
I think about vf20, don't know much about grading these so Photograde is my friend. Love the CirCam look (paging LordM!). Paddy I am in awe of...
That's a great looking coin. My initial impression was 66 with no change (cross my heart and hope to die!)
No, it won't grade, it's been cleaned; the rim bumps alone aren't that bad. If it sells at the current bid ($910) that would be a decent price.
There was also a fellow collecting seated half dime varieties making the rounds and he and I kept showing up at random dealers' tables at the same...
Was that you at Broken Cabinet buying that stack of seated quarters? If so I was standing right next to you. I was talking to Rob at Coins...

Thanks for the comments. As further evidence of a "hot" coin market, one dealer, in the process of selling some scarce seated quarters to a...
thanks for highlighting that Paddy, I saw the one through the 7 but hadn't really noticed the others. I just got the Tompkins book, maybe I...
I apologize for the obv photo of the 1837 quarter being out of focus, here is a redo: [ATTACH]
Finally ,here is a toned Mercury dime from Coins Make Cents. My photos don't do it justice as it has full luster and the gold color really pops in...
and a couple more: also from the Broken Cabinet, an 1804 half cent "spiked chin" NGC AU50, a coin I have wanted for a long time ( actually I have...
The Richmond Coin club is holding its spring coin show this weekend continuing through tomorrow (Sunday). I attended yesterday and today. There...
I think the coins in the OP look very nice and Vertigo won them for a fair price. As far as "running up bids," I don't see placing bids below or...
when I first started collecting, I bought some seated and bust type coins raw on eBay, nearly all of them white/cleaned/dipped/polished; out of...
well, well, every once in a while a blind pig (speaking) finds a corn cob. very attractive coin.
Ok, I also have a very crusty xf 59-O. I'd much rather have this than a bright shiny baggy MS from the treasury releases (but will not criticize...
Threeagle! I like that Also the coin, a gem of an XF if there ever was one.
very nice looking large cent My only early one is a 1794 with granular surfaces.
