Might in fact be although the devices and lettering as well as denticles are very well delineated. IMHO the central obverse device is a bit soft...
Well, LOL, it was a Brit auction so came as a group with an 1858 LL FE that was prob upper AU 58ish and some nice Barber dimes and quarters all in...
Ah thanks. When I saw it I liked it and was thankful it came along as practically a freebie; funny thing is that I had always wanted a mint marked...
Hi all. I bought this raw about two years ago as part of a lot and rather like it. I know it is not a [fake] red screaming MS66 coin but still...
Wow, I can only imagine the ultimate prices as where would you likely find similar?
Good Morning and Happy Week to All. Here is a very nice IMHO shilling I got at DNW some years ago. As you may know a very rare date in higher...
Ah, nice. I used to laugh as on another well known site I would post coins and always derided - the poster always saying how many superior coins...
Here is a nice example of the 1845 half sovereign. This is a rather scarce issue, and I have yet to see a true mint state (MS) specimen. Sorry...
Yes good advice and will try. I wonder who will be at the June Baltimore show?
Here is a GRADED PCGS62 coin. Talk about cleaned? Wow. Admittedly just a photo, but here you go. Also enclosed is a cleaned AU coin to follow that...

Nice set there, Sir. One thing that is interesting is that Proof is a means of manufacture rather than condition, then which criteria are used in...
Yes, who knows? I think it rather entertaining to try for cheaper scarce to rare bits and this fit the bill. I will try to get a better picture...
Here is mine from a cpl. years ago: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Yes, I may. Wow! That is a beautiful "full head" (or nearly) coin with PL traits. Love that one. I think these when well struck and above 63 are...
Yes, good reference and he did an excellent job on the book. The value of these has seemed to go through the roof. I have 1910, 1912, 1913, 1914...
Click on image for a blowup and see if you see any obvious defects other than minimal bag marking......
Yes, that hurt a bit but bought as AU so guess the seller thought so. Of course I do not and see a really nice coin in hand. These grades are...
