I resurrected this thread because I recently purchased a coin that adds some additional information of the 1870-73 Shallow N/Bold N topic. For...
XF-45 sharpness but I give it a net XF-40. I has just too many non-trivial hits and dings for a 45 grade.
July 25 is the Heritage auction of the Redding Collection, Part 4. A huge collection of Bust, Seated and Trade dollars by die marriage. High...
Much improved result! You can, however, crop it closer and you should, right up to the edge of the coin. You can select your background color.

I would never challenge you on an attribution since you're the expert on BHs and I'm only looking at a book (5th Edition of Overton/Parsley)....
A few of the latest Capped Bust Half Dimes for the die variety collection. Between FUN and a couple of on-line auctions, I've picked up 3 raw and...
VF-35 and O-137. An R-6 coin if my attribution is correct. Obverse 23, Reverse AC. I don't see the little ding/hit hurting the grade. It's a...
Good thought about the smooth edges. But the dimple at the bottom still has me puzzled. But with a strike through caused by a hard object (as...
Cool find. They just aren't found in circulation much anymore.
Yep, MS-Details cleaned. Agree it looks over-dipped.
I took a look at trying to measure it but the size of the pit is so small that I don't have any measuring tools to get into it, despite having a...

This 1835 half dime, die marriage LM-8.2, is obviously heavily cleaned and has a couple of non-minor rim dings. But it also has a depression on...
The latest three additions to the US Type Set. I have a very expansive conception of a US Type Set, i.e; if it circulated as money in what was...
I posted my oldest, non-qualifying coin on the other thread. So, here's my oldest and second-oldest that qualify for the contest: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
This is the oldest but I don't think it qualifies for the contest. I'll post my second-oldest to the contest link. For the life of me, I cannot...
Nice endeavor and I'm sure it's fun. I do wonder why it takes four commemorative half dollars to represent the type. BTW, I was talking to a...
Yes, the serifs on the Ns are different and there are other differences on the Ns, but they are harder to see on circulated coins than the middle...
I was seated at Larry Briggs' table today at FUN and the fellow beside me was poring through a box of raw IHCs, looking for 1870-72 Shallow and...
