Hi Tony, I hope you find some good coins at the NY show. :thumb:
I could...but rotating it in my head doesn't seem to have the same curve around that jewel. Of course, if it's rotated 45 degrees, that would be a...
Is the ring raised or below the surrounding surface of the quarter?
The condition of that dagger is incredible. The soil chemistry must have been perfect for preservation. More often than not, iron is mineralized...
I also wondered whether this was a clash with the reverse crown edge. So I did a quick guess at the overlay, not knowing the exact...
:p Perhaps that's true, but I'm one of those who collect their die varieties such as overdates, so I guess that makes it easier. A friend also...
I look at a lot of Australian coins with laminations, and larger ones typically cross fields and design features, as the defect is in the planchet...
As a bit of useful info, there is a way to confirm an 1856 FE cent using diagnostics other than the actual date. Such details are seldom attempted...
Wow...I like that one! Very nice coin! :thumb:
Looking through a group of pennies sent by a friend, I just noticed one has some interesting separation in the serifs. It looks to me very much...
Hi, From all I read on the FE series, there is no known 1857/6. I agree with the others--it may simply be damage, or somebody once tried to push...
It can't hurt to check to see if this is the 1907-H, which is a scarcer mintage. The H mintmark will be below the date: [IMG]
Hi Snaz, I didn't see your comment until now...thanks for the welcome! This looks like a nice group too! :thumb:
Here's a centered broadstrike. Without the collar, the planchet spreads out unimpeded upon striking. [IMG]
Yes, that was my first impression as well...removed from "lucky penny" holders and such. Can you describe the rims of these coins? The encased...
Hi Snaz! Look below--I've posted pics for the 98-S and 99-S close AM. :D
I like it! To echo what others said, it cannot hurt to question these and see how they bear under hard scrutiny. I have seen "garage jobs" on eBay...
Well...I took another look, and what if both are right? :D I know FoundinRolls from other forums, and trust his experience/ judgment more than my...
You could be right, but I'm not too concerned about long-term market price, because these coins are currently rather unknown if dealer awareness...
I think the jury is out on the "worth" question until the number of die pairs is established and total run of coins is determined. I think John...
Separate names with a comma.
