Here's the reveal. Everyone was pretty close. This coin looks much nicer to the naked eye. The photographs bring out every flaw. Two...
Picked this up at FUN. I certainly was not on the lookout for one of these but a dealer who knows I do type had this come into his hands while at...
It would help if I attached the photos! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I am posting this here rather than in the Currency Forum because this is actually part of my US Coin Type Set. Since my set included Colonial...
Definitely a draped bust. It looks like a 1798. If it is a 1799 that would be quite a find as they are quite rare. So, it's most likely a 1798.
Agreed, Type 1.
Your 1881-O looks really nice. PCGS values are notoriously inflated but the CDN CAC retail price guide says that coin is worth $188 so you did...
I saw GSAs, common 1884-CCs both raw in the box and certified going for big money, around $450 and up. These coins have skyrocketed since I had...
Lots and lots of gold, both pre-33 US, numismatic World, and bullion coins of all types. Of the pre-33 US, my impressions sort of in the order of...
FUN stands for "Florida United Numismatists" and it is an organization that puts on two major coins shows in Florida (normally in Orlando at the...

I spent Thursday and Friday at the Summer FUN show in Orlando (did not go the last day as I was worn out and spent all my money!). So, some...
Happy to be wrong. And, @jonbrand, I think I may be the silly one.
I think it's AU-Details and not from any scratches or cleaning. I think I see around the edge on both obverse and reverse the marks from a...
MS-64.
The coin seems to have a rough texture in both fields and devices. Also, on the obverse and particularly in the left field around K10-12, I seem...
OK @ksparrow , we have dutifully answered your questions without knowing why you want our opinions. I am assuming a man of your numismatic acumen...
Nice coin and congrats on your anniversary. I can hope you deserve her as I hope I deserve my wife - our 37th anniversary this Thursday.
Coin B looks much more natural and original in the new set of photos. I think B looks more original than A. I take back the negative opinion I...
I fear coin A may have received an XF or AU Details grade. I looks cleaned to me - I believe I see cleaning hairlines extending across Liberty...
