Well, it looks like I didn't capture the color as well as I thought...although I got more of it than on previous photos. The coin has very strong...
Thanks for the advice. These are the only pics in which I was able to capture the color, but I will try again shortly.
The 1861 is my fave in this group. Although, I really like crusty coins, I'm also attracted to lustrous white coins that have golden/orange hues...
I was finally able to somewhat capture the color on this coin that resides in my type set. Feel free to comment on grade/eye appeal/ and the photos.
Excellent coin!! It looks PQ for the grade in my opinion too! It looks more like a 45 to me. edit: woah!! I just realize this was my 1,000th...
The OP coin looks kind of overdipped to me. I'm not really seeing the luster, and it looks really white. Provided it is problem free, I would...
nice coins ksparrow! rays are awesome, especially since they preserve the luster so well in the fields after circulation. LOL. Yeah, normal...
and a key....
I'm sure these aren't 64s or 65s, but here is some better date higher grade bn rb copper in my lincoln set...
Yeah, they look like thumbnails:mad: Anyways, type sets are my FAVORITE, and I can't wait to see bigger pictures!!:)
Unfortunately, there are many fakes on ebay. Normally they are reserved for tougher coin types or key dates, but it always pays to be wary...

Oops. Last picture was of the wrong coin. Here is reverse pic 2
Received the coin today. It's about what I expected, and still am thinking XF-45. The reverse has a lot more luster than the obverse, with some...
BE-AUU-TI-FULL!! I like!:cool:
I am almost certain it has been cleaned by the look of it. It is extremely white and I don't see any evidence of luster and the devices look...
yeah, it was a lucky break. I purchased it raw off of ebay with small pictures kind of like the OP's. Just enough detail that I could tell it was...
To me, it looks to have AU details and heavily polished. I personally wouldn't want it in my colleciton because of that. Even with that said, I...
thanks rzage! The only thing that might make mine go lower is the hit on liberty's breast. I guess it would depend on how a tpg would perceive it,...
My most recent one was a raw 1831 capped bust quarter that I paid $270 for. I showed it to my dealer, and he thought it was problem free and would...
