I watched the auction yesterday - some amazing stuff, indeed. Brandon, was rooting for you when your lot came up. VERY GLAD you got it!
A visit to the SDB turned this up - a purchase from long ago. 1798 draped bust dollar with obvious problems. I don't know why I ever bought this....
I like it! This is what acsearch says for the one example they have on record: "ALTDEUTSCHE LÄNDER Nürnberg, Stadt Kerzendreier (1677-1716...
Pretty and symbolic coin! I don't believe I have ever seen the type. (I would have thought the reclining figure represents a river god, but the...
Here is another: These examples sold between $400-600. [ATTACH]
it looks to be something like this: "Felipe V cob 8 Reales (1744) with Counterstamp, KM101, sun over three mountains counterstamp of 1839 on a...
Please post your own pics when you get it. It looks nice enough on the sellers pics, but just wondering why it was sold a second time around. I...

That is a good example of the 1807, JR-1, only variety for the year. I agree a grade of G4 is correct with a strong obverse for the grade. The...
Amazing cherry-picks can still be made in Europe with U.S coins, and coins from other areas. It is probably less now than when I started in the...
Incredible find! Considering that recent research indicates that the 'Continental Dollars' may in fact be of European origin, it is not...
That is a very nice example! In case you are interested, it combines obverse 3 (same obverse as my example), with reverse E.
Very nice! Do you still have it? It is a superb example of the type. Paris mint (Atelier A) is by far the most common, but this is a great example.
@halfcent1793 ,thank you very much for posting the link to this detailed and interesting statistical study.
@C-B-D , that variety seems to be really rare. HA archives does not list any sales at all! How much did you pay for it, if I may ask? I paid...
The Sheldon 103 LIHERTY variety Draped Bust Cent is a favourite of mine. Would love to upgrade my low grade example. Among Capped Bust Dimes:...
