thanks for the input. I was suspicious not only because of the "shadow" on the top of the obverse, but also a reciprocal "shadow" on the bottom of...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=370196382986 So I've been looking for a type 2 gold dollar for my...
umm, do they make proofs of the draped bust/classic head cents? This would seem to be an impossible task.
Looks like a beauty lies beneath the filth. I wonder if an acetone dip might help. If it's PVC, you need to get it off. I agree with UNC details....
Here are some updated pics with the coin in hand. It has the most alluring peach/orange color.:goofer:
Nice purchase catbert! Know what's funny is that I just bought one of these yesterday! No where near as nice as yours, but I only paid $11 from...
thanks guys. I didn't purchase this one, just wanted to gather opinions. It was overpriced. I will probably wait for something in top 3 plastic.
So, I'm on the lookout for some decent draped bust cents/half cents for my type set. I haven't searched for them often, but it is quite difficult...
That's a beauty! I assume it is well worth the $1000 price tag given the rarity of the cameo?
Thanks for the comments guys, and thanks for the lighting advice. I'm definitely a "newbie" photographer, and my main light source is just your...
The coin definitely has hairlines, but they don't look nearly as bad in hand as they do in my photos. ANACS actually gave this an AU-50 which I...
nice original coin! I don't know how to grade these, but i'd guess a G-4.
If you've seen my photos before, you know that my camera intensifies any and EVERY hairline it seems. All that said, here is a lustrous seated...
Woah. That's a beauty of a coin even if it were a common date, but a 1916!!! What would you grade? It looks like an AU-50/53 or so to me, but I'm...
No problem. :) Maybe if I sent it to SGS..:cool:
No need to apologize. I agree with VF-35 for mine. Actually, I think his is better than mine. My point is that I will upgrade eventually, and when...
Given the gold coin is authentic, it's worth somewhere between $450 to several thousand depending on grade and whether or not it has problems.. We...
LOL. Well, here is mine from my type set. I paid $70 for it a while ago, and yours is definitely nicer imo. Mine has retoned beautifully over an...
Also, check the date/mintmarks. I was assuming they are all common dates, but maybe there's a semi-key or two.
I would say you did very well given they are all genuine and problem free. I see a lot of luster. Just my opinion.:kewl:
