I'm sure MrBrooklyn would appreciate you popping his smoking gun like that Merc lol. And that 36-s is an absolute monster for the price. I've...
It's worth roughly .25 cents to me. If I were to go for a key date, I would at least consider one in Fine condition and up. Barber coinage is so...
Well buddy, glad I can accommodate you. It's one of my faves.
I don't think you have anything to worry about, it's hardly noticeable. And besides, I've seen MS66 graded coins have small marks on them. I...
Most of us are already married with kids and whatnot. We use the "collect coins" excuse to get away from changing the occasional dirty diaper.
Neat mint error. Out of the thousands of dollars I've went through in cents alone, have yet to find a radical planchet defect like that. And a...
Die chippies in the 50's are indeed common. I have a handful of them at home, and have that same coin you have. Another common mint error during...
I noticed your posts to likes ratio is a little out of wack, so I obliged. Is this like the show "who's line is it anyways?", where the points...
Not really, a quick soak can be used. I would personally treat the verdigris with some verdi-care product. You can find the stuff online and it's...
Much better photos, I don't see why you can't get a 65 FSB's on that one. Even from PCGS or NGC. And no distracting nicks on the devices or fields.
Ah, very nice. Now I can comfortably say that this looks like a VF now. Full liberty in the headband and a couple diamonds on the ribbon.
Here's my favorite out of about 400 photos taken at Reno's Hot August Nights last year. My favorite Chevelle. [ATTACH]
The details look close to a MS62 or 63. One question though, what's that crud on the obverse 3 o'clock?
It's tough to gauge with all the glare. I take it was photographed through a 2x2? If I had to put a conservative grade on it, probably 64. The...
Let's see the front of the coin. Usually the telling devices on the obverse will generate a better estimate for grade. The reverse looks good...
I agree, I have more trouble finding problem free VF or higher Barber halves than VF or higher Busties that seem to grow on trees. And remember...
I would have to say that these patterns would make an interesting set if it wasn't for the fact there was only a handful of them in existence.
Anyone has a photo of the redesign they can tag on here? Loved the current design, it would have to be a show stopper to top the current design.
Man, how great would it be to own one of these transitional patterns. There were several types made during the time the US government decided to...
Since I started looking last year, I have found a total of two fulls rolls worth and a couple extra. Found at least 3 or so of each of the 10's...
