This is one that I like a lot. The 'with drapery' Philadelphia and New Orleans mint half dimes of 1840 are interesting and quite elusive in higher...
ldhair, thank you for that link. That is really interesting:). Comparing the images on that site with my coin, I would grade the obverse...
Thank you very much, Jack.
What puzzles me is that the reverse is so much weaker than the obverse. Grossly speaking VF30 obverse / F12 reverse, but I am no expert either.
A pretty half dollar with nice toning. However, this is another coin I find difficult to grade. The obverse is well detailed, while the reverse is...
Jack, If I may ask, is there a process for submitting a coin for review by B. Noyes? I have an S-163 that I would dearly like his opinion on.
EAC grading is tough! Even at EAC VF25 AveMinus this is a very appealing (and valuable) coin. Interestingly, the previous CQR (19th Ed, 2008)...
10 euros. It has really pretty luster. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Interesting topic. I have often asked myself how the romans pronounced words in latin. How did the roman pronounce words like Cesar, Cicero...
Wow! Do you have an 1846?
I am not a Morgan guy, but that is a beautiful example, jtlee321! Can I ask what camera are you using?
Again, thank you all for your opinions. Quite a spread from AU53 to MS2... this one seems difficult to grade, and the small size does not help. Is...
I'm guessing Paddy that you have many more than: (1873-1829) = 44 ?
Here are a couple more shots. Lighting conditions were a bit better today. (now I know why I don't collect half dimes actively - they are just...
I will be very interesting to hear what B. Noyes has to say about this coin. Another option may be Jack Robinson, by the way.
Thanks for the opinions, guys. Much appreciated. Paddy, thank you very much for the attribution! To my eyes the coin seems to have no wear at...
I have posted this one before, but now with a better camera and hopefully better pictures would like to see what you guys think. ps - The...
I am seeing at least an EAC AU50 coin, and a rather beautiful example at that. Interestingly, the coin pictured in the link which Marshall posted...
Very nice coin! Note how aggressive the condor looks, probably more so than on Chile's earlier coinage.
From what I saw, most went for (many) multiples of minimum bid, so it seems you got really lucky. Let us see it!
