I would be inclined to think they repurposed a three year old die. Chief engraver Robert Scot died in 1823, so it’s thought that the mint had to...
My goal is to get 1832, 1833, and 1836 quarters in VG-VF to finish my small diameter capped bust quarter date set. Admittedly the first two are...
Here’s how the dollar is presented in the Botanic Garden Set along with the 1997 satin finish nickel. It really is a nice design. [ATTACH]...
I think eBay automatically redirected from the OP coin (whose listing has been ended) to the SEGS coin. The SEGS coin appears to be small date,...
I agree that the odor of toluene is dreadful. At my co-op I worked with toluene, isopropanol, heptane, acetone, xylene, mineral spirits, and...
Nice quarters! Their die marriages are 1806 B-3, R1; 1818 B-2, R1; and 1838 B-1, R1. You may already know this since I think you have both early...
It’s been awhile since I’ve bought any dimes. I’m starting to get to the point where the remaining coins are tougher to acquire for a reasonable...
I think it’s a VF20, and a nice example of a popular variety. As many may know, the STATESOF reverse was used to strike more dimes in 1820 (JR-1)....
Star 13 is in the correct position for JR-6, 8, and 9. Star 7 is in a similar position for obverse 1 (used for JR-1, 3, 4, and 10) and obverse 4...
Nice coins! I think the half dollar is my favorite. The quarter appears to be B-3, R1.
For JR-1, 3, 4, and 10, only one point of star 13 is close to the hair curl. For JR-6, 8, and 9, two points of star 13 are close to the hair curl....
I think this coin ring makes me the saddest... it’s an 1831 quarter! I assume (hope) it was heavily damaged, but still... [ATTACH]
One side of the coin being completely gone is a problem that plagues this series. Fortunately, the top of “10 C.” is visible, so there is...
The placement of star 13 relative to the hair curl suggests this is the obverse used for JR-6, JR-8, and JR-9. The placement of the 1 is similar...
The 8 is too large to be the small date. Another confirming attribute is the lack of a period after “10 C”. Given the lack of the period and the...
I’ve had that issue too with a buffalo nickel. The solution that I found worked the best was sanding off the edge of the hole (NOT to coin, of...
Here’s a poorly centered picture of one of my favorite terminally toned coins. While this type of toning would be environmental damage on an UNC...
That’s some nice eye candy! Are the coins offered going to be high end, bigger ticket items, or will there be some lower priced items as well?
Here’s my 1832 O-106. I only own two capped bust half dollars, but they were the “gateway drug” that pulled me into other early silver series...
Here are the coins in my 1997 Botanic Garden Coinage and Currency Set: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I don’t own any classic commemoratives, but...
