Not counterfeit, or altered based on the look of it, but this coin would be difficult to sell if you buy it then try to sell it later, so I would...
My favorite designs on commems, both old and new are the Oregon Trail, then Panama Pacific half dollar, and the 1984 silver $, 1994 Viet-Nam...
Yeah, you do make a valid observation.
My favorite is the Oregon Trail, because of the history, and story behind it, as well as it's beauty. Ezra Meeker petitioned government for many...
Commemoratives generally don't attract a lot of collectors. I have 23 modern proof's in my proof series 1983-98, and I have the 1st 3 commems. in...
You will not get any heat from me on this, but I will say I noticed asking people on input helps some of us decide what we want.
This is why I joined Partisan Lines (a companion site of Coin Talk). A lot of fun, and laugh's. Ha, ha!
I was going to say 9 because of the spot on it, but you already hinted 9 is not the buffalo, so I will say 5. Okay, question answered. Ha, ha!
That would be a lot of fun to help you out. Too bad I live in Minnesota, otherwise I would consider taking you up on your offer. I like helping...
I bought just one (1908-D no motto) during 1997 for my type set in AU58 when gold was about $460 an ounce.
Ha, ha! That looks amazing to see a 1984 coin this worn. That is the flattest 1984 coin I have ever seen. I wonder where you found/got it?
Well, this certainly looks proof to me, as I suspected all along despite what others said. And no, you did not stir up any problems here. Even if...
Regarding rarity, and scarcity, I have always wondered who determines that. I had the impression scarcity is 1,000-10,000 coins, while rarity is...
But, didn't he say they were MS63? In that case, the pictures would make them look better than they are.
I will admit, though, it sure did/does look like a proof to me regardless.
Well, if anything, I think you just proved we here at Coin Talk can sure make some BIG mistakes at times! Ha, ha!
Toughcoins actually made a valid explanation of fair price, so I will concede that.
Fair price? I would say about $1,250 for these is a fair price. By the way, the reverse is not much important to me. Both reverses look fine, but...
Definitely 1911 for me, too. What I look for most in this series is the face, especially if the nose is dented or bold. The nose on the 1911 looks...
Congratulations on this 1800 over date find. This is one of my favorite threads!
