Looks real but very harshly cleaned to me. Since you've stated you don't want to share the reverse or mintmark, I assume it is CC. You should...
Yes, back in 2021 in Bangor, Maine, across the street from an 1820s church. No date on the cent, but it is late 1830s.
Agreed, this one is very attractive, both for its lack of wear and the fact its a CBH!
Actually, this is a 5 kopeks coin, it says Пять
Lovely look, especially the reverse.
I believe it probably looks better in hand. Thanks for sharing it
Here is a photo of a mint set toner I won in a giveaway, and sold for $100 in San Francisco last July. It sold for like $40 in auction not long...
Wonderful, I like coins with a portrait on both sides :)
Mint set, I assume? Based on the obverse being so well-toned and the reverse getting that golden color
I could be wrong though. I thought the raw half you sent me would have more hairlines but upon opening it, was pleasantly surprised. So, maybe...
I agree. XF. Not sure if it is details. Maybe once it gets some darkening, it will be more acceptable but until then I think it hasn't retoned...
If you don't need the five dollars, it's a keeper :)
Wow! I've been asking around for halves but none of our banks carry them :( So, I've been relegated to getting maybe $2-$3 at a time, whatever...
Amazing, yours has a great look!
Ha!
Great look on this one. A well deserved grade! Good pickup. Quality coin without paying up for an MS example. One to be proud of.
Yes ridge ring, and minor greaser :)
