Darn shame about the corrosion. The reverse looked really nice.
Nice pickups Kanga.
To me the coin is ag-3, to me the slight rim dings kind of hurt it. NGC would probably be G4 to G6. A really good deal at $38.
Since you same numismatic coins do this - go buy 10k in numismatic coins and 10k in mutual funds(spread it out to 3 or 4 funds in different...
Get really close. :)
Maybe if you took it to him in person. :)
OOHHH - maybe you should have a fund raising event and sell some of those bust halves? But get a number from Doug first - see what it would cost.:)
And where do you think? :)
I really like some of the old white ANAC's slabs - sometimes you get accurately grade coins pretty cheap. Some of them are good crossover coins....
Are you really sure of that? Don't worry I don't get it all either - but from the title of the thread I am really sure I don't want to know what...
Or maybe even the right fire arm. :)
Dipping done right won't hurt the coin. Some of those blast white morgans are good examples - those are still nice coins. I would not try it...
As mentioned get some books first. Maybe even some albums where you can collect from spare change - even those sets are fun to put together....
Not really enough choices - especially if you collect by variety on some of the older coins. Those of us who are not rich may have to make due...
And that is why you do not buy the sticker or the slab. I have noticed things like this on the newer stuff in the new pcgs and ngc slabs. Just...
Books and learn as already mentioned. And if you really feel the need to buy - buy something graded by NGC or PCGS.
TMI......:)
Which one is older? :) PS - from the pictures the second has the nicer color of the two. :)
I would say 64 and 65 in that order. I think the pictures don't really show the luster that is on the coins. 2 very nice coins.
Nice pickup - I think it looks at least 55. Congrats and I agree with medjoy. Stop by there often to see what else you might find.
