Got this coin shot. Here's the closeups of the die crack in the eagle's left wing and the one across the lower part of the eagle's breast. I...
That is really nice for a FR-02. That's about where I'll have to be for my type set but most of the lower grade ones I've seen are much worse...
Nice looking coins. Great additions to your type set. I should have time to photo the new 1924 tomorrow if post-Ian cleanup, dental appointments...
Show! Show!
I have spent a lot of effort trying to decrypt the gentleman's meaning in his various posts. In this thread, I believe he is saying that coin...
Fed Ex delivered today. The 1924 actually looks better in hand than in the photos. Very pleased. Interestingly, there are some small die...
Prompted me to go back to my Snow, 3rd Edition, 2014. All claims or suggestions below are derived from Snow. Your S-3 is part of the First...
Not quite. There was a full article on the strikes in France in the WSJ this morning. And WSJ has had articles in the last few days about the...
Was that dealer Jason out of Colorado? At the last FUN show he had a details 1796 quarter and there just aren't that many of them out there....

@BIC, you are getting excellent advice from members here. You should follow your instincts and run from these offerings. The next thing you...
Since I can't know what you mean by "decent", my comments must be somewhat general. As far as I'm concerned, decent coins run the entire grade...
Ouch! I don't like liver, either.
You might want to focus on the 1919 and 1920. My research indicates these were among the best struck and most common/least expensive of the Type...
Thanks. I hope it looks good in-hand. Of course, when I put it under the 30X stereo microscope, it will magnify any and all faults. Maybe I...
I've been looking for some time for a nice 1919 or 1920 SLQ in MS-65 or 66 to replace the 1917-D ANACS EF-45 in my type set. I already had...
The 1864 L has a pointed bust. The non-L coin has a rounded bust. Here are the two in my collection of each type. Yours looks kinda pointy to...
Because the show is put on by FUN - Florida United Numismatists. Orlando is pretty central to Florida.
