I understand. I start losing interest when most of the series is common. I prefer collecting varieties of less than 100 known which is about R4+.
This interesting S-239 is about to end. It appears to be between Die State I and Die State II. The Berry at (N)T is gone but the clash marks at...
It does appear to be Die State IX however. [ATTACH] The wear pattern is the same as this Die State IX only with more of the fraction obscured.
Since my High Grade, but damages set now has three coins, I might as well show the other two: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Even money is a commodity. But precious metals offer a tangible store of value which is historically more stable than many other forms of value...
Definitely one of the better moderns...
This is a new addition to my high grade problem set: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
You may have been fortunate to miss on that S-65. I believe that "Die Break" is Post Mint damage and the gouges in the cap just happen to be on...
To Honor is expected, to Worship is idolatry. But coins are not a good showcase for either. I'll take Ms. Bingham's image as Lady Liberty every...
That's MY kind of junk...
That S-104 was an S-103. The 97 looks so much nicer in hand. If you ever decide to part with it, let me know.
I love a challenge. 1797 Reverse P. The obverse is too far gone to determine whether it's the S-139 or S-140. Easiest marker is the connection...
Just the kind of coin I like. Sheldon Reverse U; Reverse of 94. Six obverse pairings. Only the S-108 date is as widely spaced. Nice inheritance.
My other S-105 has a bit more wear, but a much nicer planchet. The S-103 is corroded and while the reverse is easy to identify and the S-102 can...
I only have one of 105s in my photo collection. The other two were purchased in 2016 and those photos are now unavailable. Here is the one I do...
That looks right to me. The reverse has the crack at the bottom of CA though it's too worn in the photo to see it extend to the fraction. The...
I didn't see that on the posting, but it looks like PMD to me with it's square pattern reminding me of a plier mark. But stranger things have...
My 96 DB currently consists of 92, 94(2), 95(2), 98, 103, 105(2), and 116. My 97 DB currently consists of 120a, 121b, 129, 133, 141, NC-5 and...
I understand how a particular date peaks your interest. I'm that way with 1796 Draped Bust followed closely by 1797 and style 1 hair 1798s. The...
If you post them. I'd be happy to help where possible. Unfortunately, the 1800s become unattributable quite easily with wear and/or damage,...
Separate names with a comma.
