p.s. that looks like a 194 to me. Fraction bar too thin for a 195, IMO.
"I've been trying to prove the irrelevant thinking the S-196 and S-195 shared the same obverse." Cannot be. How would the placement of the final...
The 1820's is a terrible decade for coin collectors who like fully struck coins, that's for sure. Every single series has strike issues.
Sounds perfect. Did you confirm they would take a return at a subsequent date?
I tend to agree with Shane above. However the big variable in this equation is luster -- and you can't really tell how good it is or not from a...
OK. This one: [img][img] Try and find another in the same grade/condition. I dare anyone. ;) :)
Here's another thought. I would set up a wantlist for Heritage (www.ha.com) and Teletrade (www.teletrade.com). Both will send you an e-mail when...
That's quite a nice toner. I'll guess just south of $1k.
FWIW, here's my own 67. [img][img]
Pictures will not tell the story of this coin. Please believe me that these coins (brilliant merc proofs) are one of the most challenging coins...
How do you define underrated? Is there such a thing?
Weakly struck coin in roughly low XF, high VF condition (TPG grade). I'd probably give it a 40, higher or lower depending on how much luster is...
Congrats. Looks like a nice one! :)
I agree with Jeff, Jim, G, and Thad. Looks like a hazed proof that I would try MS-70 or a very quick dip in diluted Jewelluster followed by a...
IMO, it will increase the price a small amount in the positive direction. Not a monster by any means, but attractive looking. That said, the...
Awesome coin, but you know that already. :) Question: If this coin is one of two that you'll keep, what's the other one? Just curious...Mike
Cool coin. Luster (in addition to color) looks wonderful too!
