Then you'd have all your relatives, even ones you didn't know you had (maybe even some from Peoria), wanting block-sized chunks.
I'd like to have a 1907 $20 Ultra High Relief Pattern—the size of Peoria, IL. I'd carve off a small sliver for myself and give the rest to charity.
Winged, you are chomping at the bit! If you paid $350 for a common date (85-O) with more intense toning than this, I'm going to guess $375 for...
I just sold my world coin collection to a dealer this afternoon! It included many of these pieces plus other German items (minus some silver Marks...
Very interesting how the characters were reconstructed on this $5. I'm guessing they were cut out jigsaw-like and soldered to the level surface,...
Interesting NGC article about a plugged Half Eagle: http://www.ngccoin.com/news/viewarticle.aspx?NewsletterNewsArticleID=1190 Two things strike...
That's essentially no premium at all for the tone. The toning's not going to appeal to everyone, but it's interesting and I'm surprised it didn't...
Read the ad carefully. By purchasing these coins you agree to receive a selection of coins every month on approval; i.e., they'll send you coins...
I'd pass. It's been dipped and is severely damaged. It's a problem coin. Wait for a better one; this is no bargain.
Keep in mind, too, to look for carbon spots, esp. in bad ebay photos. There is one in the dentils at 1:30 on the one in your link. Carbon spots...
I second this—that 1), there are copper experts here whose opinions you should solicit and 2), relying on ebay photos can be a problem. You might...
My vote also. It's between this and the 20 cent and something about the latter, maybe the color on the rim, strikes me as suspicious.
My views are closest to these, so I'll riff on them. I'm going to pursue the obvious by saying that two coins appear to be in slabs: the Barber...
What a great find! I'm curious, how thin is it? A Franklin has much higher relief than a dime and I'm guessing that, in order to fill out the...
Interesting pattern; I'd like to see it in hand. $165, threading the needle.
Well, thanks again, but really, my coins don't compare to some of the toners that have been on this thread. Todd has photographed some of the...
It's a difficult coin to photograph; I think Todd of BlueCC did an excellent job. Check out his website: http://bluccphotos.com/. If you compare...
Thanks for your compliment Winged but I'm not sure the color of my '84 is coming across in the image (I don't know, maybe it is). I'm familiar...
Sharp-looking coins, Winged. That '78 also is really nice; I like it a lot.
