Paddy, many thanks for the very detailed pictures. Sure lots of die breaks on the coin! I thought I would add some post-acetone bath pictures of...
C-B-D strikes again! Those are some great coins. Here is my 'el cheapo' of the day. 1886 IHC, type 2. Paid 22 euros for this coin ($25). I...

I found this coin at a small coin show yesterday. I did not have my U.S catalog with me but I vaguely remembered the 1871 nickel is fairly scarce....

1842-O Seated Quarter. with normal size date. I paid approx. $ 46. It is a very scarce variety of the type, with eagle with open claws on right...
This little coin may not appeal to everybody, but it is an JR-2, Rarity 5+ die variety of the 1821 dime, and it only cost me approx. $10. 1821...
