I don't collect ancients but am really bowled over by this captivating coin! Thanks for posting.
Greysheet bid was probably $60 when you bought this. Even though it's a star I don't find it nearly as attractive as the last you posted but since...
A (late) diversion: I really enjoyed everyone's pool stories. Impressive! The Hustler is a classic. I love the game and am not bad, but not near...
Geez, maybe I'm a cheapskate. Don't tell my girlfriend; I have her fooled so far.
I like this coin a lot even though it's not "glamorous." The dark around the reverse lettering detracts a little. RLM has already taken my guess...
I'm sad for your loss of your friend. I know its a cliché, but life is ever unpredictable.
Everywhere I look on Coin Talk you're leaving a trail of gorgeous coins! Good eye and good job.
I ask myself the same question since I'm putting together a type set (and not worried about matching a date set). I'm assuming you're also not...
I really like Morgans like this one: subtle and even. Unfortunately your photos are tending toward the red (warm) which is denying the blue-green...
Congrats! You must have been doing something right to get such good karma. :) Looking forward to the pics. Did you pay as much as you were...
BTW, I thought you might have had a go at this one in Heritage's last auction:...
You scored a nice hat trick but aren't those pictures of the same coin? Look at the striations in the reverse field under AMERICA and the water...
I don't collect paper but was a professional graphic designer for years. You want a neutral background that doesn't compete with the note (or...
If I had seen the coin but not the slab I would agree with you 100%: there looks to be wear. For the life of me I don't know how the TPGs handle...
I understand what you're saying but your post raises a couple of questions for me. First, let me say I don't know that much about large cents; I...
I've missed some nice coins on this thread lately. Here's another one. I'll go $350.
The seances were particularly troubling! :smile I'm old enough to have lived through a lot of that ride; e.g., was too young for Nam but hung...
You're absolutely right but in this case I don't have the sense Mike would pay that much of a premium for, say, an AU53. Current PCGS price for...
I just compared the large photos in the OPs of both the '39 and the '40. In those photos, the '40 seems to have just as much luster as the '39. I...
For some reason this coin (the 1840) looks much more lustrous to me in the OP than in this photo, especially side-by-side with the '39. I'm going...
