I post here and on CU (PCGS). Also NGC has a good board. Then there's Open Forum Refuge, with a lot of those either kicked off of CU or fed up...
Some stunner Mercuries on this thread. Enjoy them.
Great definition on Liberty's head and nice split on the hand. Clean right obverse field. Reverse has one mark and is not quite as nice but I...
It has a great look. When I see coins like that, I think someday I am going to start collecting Brown copper with a blue tint. Of course, I get...
I can't keep up with all the great coins in this thread. Larry, that 1853 Brown Large Cent is beautiful. What did it grade?
BQ First of all, I like bust halves and think this one looks very nice. I don't collect them (I have a few raw) in part because I have not been...
Lehigh, seeing them all lined up, it's only polite to choose a favorite. I am saying the 42-S. Great obverse with a contrasting, beautiful...
36 Proof Buffalo -- thought I'd try to post something without toning that is still eye candy. :[IMG]
Wow, there are some great coins in this thread. I of course like the Type 1 Buffalo but that Trade Dollar is awesome. Also like the Franklins...
Sorry I didn't see this in time to make a guess, but great coin. Love the look -- enjoy it.
I would have to agree with Charmy. I have talked to Jack a couple of times at Baltimore and tried to get him to come down a bit on some coins...
Sorry I can't see the DDO from these shots. I did check Lange's Complete Guide to Buffalo Nickels and he mentions only two minor DDR varieties....
Great thread. It is not a fingerprint, though -- that coin shows multiple fingerprints and they dominate nearly half of the reverse! It does make...
Love the Type 1 Buffalos. I think there is very little rub here (back hip of the Buffalo) and would likely grade AU58. Great looking toning for...
Sorry, it looks too much like a token or the cartoonishness of the Presidential dollars. Funny thing is, the first one I saw was while I was in...
There's some great coins in this thread. Here's a semi-key that I have not posted here before. [IMG]
I meant to post to this thread earlier. What a great looking variety, Paul. But apart from that, I think this coin has a great untoned look....
Great upgrade, Paul. Love the reverse. I would never have bought it based on the seller's photos which I believe are quite awful and distorting....
RLM I can't disagree with the letters you see on the coin. It is odd that someone made a copy and did not do it as a full bands on the reverse....
