So weird. I love the picture of the heavy set law man holding his hand on top of his head and staring at a pile of dimes. James
I agree with @Joshua Lemons . I would have guessed a straight graded 62 or 63. I think the coin is right at about 50/50 red so could go RB or...
@justafarmer . Funny. I have been to the Seated web page a thousand thousand times. Until this morning I didn't know their was a counter page...
i would select C since it has retained original luster where I would expect to find it. I am a little disappointed in how some of these coins...
Great coins. thanks for posting. james
My guess would be yes. Whether mechanical or just heavily wire brushed that coin has obvious marks in the field in front of the figure and as you...
Indian head cents are notorious for having micro spotting. They are tiny carbon spots and what causes them isn't important. These are coins that...
@UnCommonCents . You would be farther ahead in the game if you did what I did. The Liberty Seated Collectors Club maintains a free web site. If...

@KBBPLL . Excellent coin. Love a clash mark that is so obvious. I have a few coins with clash marks too. perhaps they will do a post challenge...

I did not guess because i find it nearly impossible to determine the mirrors on a proof coin using static pictures. I will say this though, i am...
@Tall Paul Don't want to derail thread but have a question for you. Do you have a "go to" reference for the Hard Time and Civil War tokens? James
I have been collecting coins for 57 years so a lot of water has gone under the bridge. I have bought and sold hundreds of coins in my lifetime. I...
I hope you know by opening that machine up you may have voided your valuable manufacture warranty. James
Some things just never make sense. I have only been on coin boards for about 7 or 8 years. I would guess 90% or better of all my posts pertain...
@Gilbert . LOVE the 1852-O. Spent about 20 years of my life looking for a coin exactly like that. Great combination of rarity, eye appeal, and...
Someone beat me to it. (Damn you having to work for a living!) I thought I was shut out until I remembered my Canadian Silver Dollar phase. [ATTACH]
Never seen a 55-S yet where the reverse is not way better than the obverse [ATTACH]
