Well, @DallasCoinsNThings , I'm more AG3. Would like to see at least a couple letters in LIBERTY. But a decent reverse and you CAN see her nose....
All I can guess is that photo became available after the book was published.
Have to check the date on the photos too. But that's what the 2010 book says. What's the URL?
OK.. Flynn & Zach (The Authoritative Reference on Three Cent Silver Coins, 2010) says 109 obverse dies (so much for memory) 1852 RPD-005 is the...

I get everything you're saying but it should not be that rare. There were 18 million 52s struck and only 125 obverse dies were used ( if I'm...
Oooooh shiny
Ouch... not even worth the post... mystery was bigger when one has no real idea of what one was buying. @baseball21 nailed it in under an hour.
OK... McKinney 1917 $1 gold commemorative, purchased: 3/9/2018 at the ANA NMS. It’s Accugrade. It’s a PhotoSlab. It’s Accugrade #59, which I’ve...

Oh, @Robert Paul, lots more, just haven't posted them here. Found an "Accugrade #59" Friday at the ANA show. I've seen several of the 91s and 65s...
Damn... the seller saw the registry set calling...
Oh yeah... wait until you win a round and have tp pick something from your collection to put out there... yes, it's been a lot of fun!
In terms of us being clueless this has been one of the best!
Actually, you want @Davidschwager - Condor101's book isn't much help because Mike is color blind and didn't realize there were green and brown...
Quiet... unfortunately a number of dealers have left. And I've picked over the cases pretty extensively. Only one thing I really wanted and can't...
Actually, somebody else claims to be the president of Macbabble (or whatever it's called). He said in a published interview that he knew of AHs...
