Probably get a details grade for cleaning. Has the telltale look with discolored fields and dirt around the devices. Not worth submitting but...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] $2.49 BIN just now off Ebay, what do you think @BadThad?
TPGs tend to be quite lenient on 1877 IHCs, even factoring in the generally weak strikes (particularly at the top of the obverse).
Worth it just for the design, honestly.
I don’t think the 1819 needs conservation. Looks great as is.
Great results on the Morgans. Not surprised about the quarter, I thought that one had the lowest chance at grading straight. The surfaces look...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Here’s that $12 1838 Dime. Besides the reverse scratch it is quite nice for a $12 buy and has a good reverse, earning it a...
As for “ugly treasures”… this one comes to mind first. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] 1796 Draped Bust S-99 R-5. One of about 50 known examples, and probably...
Congrats on your purchase! I am sure you saw the SLQ I picked up - “details” coins don’t have to be ugly, nor are they worthless. There’s a...
It actually looks like a D. I am not sure but I think it might match an authentic 16-D mintmark position too.
Wow, great find for $30! My LCS $30 Morgans has decent stuff sometimes. Best date I found was an 04-S, but it was damaged and I think VGish. Left...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Seated Quaaarteeer! $13 + shipping = $17 total. 57-O greysheets for twice as much as 57 plain in VG.

So actually none of you got it right (and only two over on PCGS forums did). [ATTACH] When I saw this coin in the display case it spoke to me....
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Here’s another set of pics that puts emphasis on the luster. Wonderful coin in hand!
Just saw this at my LCS and had to have it at the price it was labelled at. If I’ve already told you (only one of you) don’t ruin the GTG. :p...
Good luck! Hope one of the wheats is a 1909-S VDB and another is a full Red 26-S! We can dream, right?
I was $15.41 off and thought I did well. You beat me!
I have a 1917-D cent with a similar issue, PMD’d in a way that reduced its diameter. Rattled in my Dansco album, but I replaced it with a better...
Grading circulated 19th century coins by LIBERTY only is like the old convention that VF Buffalo Nickels must have a full horn. There are XF and...
