Yep. An R5 rather than R5-.
I think the thing I like most about it is the strength of the diagnostics. Many times the lower grade examples of rarities are barely attributable...
This appears to be cut, not clipped since the edges are stretched out of round at the point of the cut. this greatly reduces value as post mint...
The 1798 is a S-187 with the diagnostic falling berry at the top left of O(N). The 1800 is a difficult year to begin with and there is just too...
I did some research on Heritage and it appears that shield grooving on Silver does hold up much better than the same devices on copper with which...
I am unfamiliar with wear patterns on old silver, but I'm suspicious anytime there is XF detail on the grooves of shielding on a coin with...
I see the triplet leaf at the U and the right stem, right of and even with the bottom of the A. Each is sufficient to ID the S-77 if the obverse...
This is a S-77 misattributed as a S-76b. While they share the same obverse die, the reverse die is distinctive and identifiable....
This is a misattributed 1796 S-87 R3- called 1795. I guess 1795 is a default position for some....
This is another 1794 (S-28 R2+) which is misattributed as a 1795. While rather common, it is a chance for someone to pick up their first 1794 on...
I suggest the 1796 NC-4 then. It is now R5+ (30-44 known) and available, for a price. It's about as common as NCs get.
I can truly appreciate what you are doing with your $20 collection.
My nominal cost was $475. After all the add on charges (Buyer's premium, Texas Sales tax, shipping, etc.) it's actual cost was $620. I suspect...
You are correct. This was misattributed by ANACS and then sold on Heritage in 2006 without the error being noted. Never trust the holder! It is...
We are indeed a special breed who love the copper that others conceed as unfit for their aesthetically higher need for perfection of vision and...
This is another of my misfit coins: [IMG]
And a great opinion, particularly for investment. I'm just thankful for the crumbs.
or my S-86... [IMG]
You and many like you feel that way. I thank you because I couldn't afford it if you didn't. I'll just settle for having one of the two dozen...
While I may have complained a little, this is my purchase from the Heritage Auction. I have now joined the elite club of those who own an NC and...
