Pretty coin! I don't think the rim ding alone will downgrade it to "details".
Also, what grade would you label this? There's a fair amount of clean, even wear on the obverse highpoints, but only a little on the reverse. I'm...
I started with using the reverse die to narrow it down to the Overton types with the I in Pluribus centered under the T in States. That left...
Picked this up last week. I'm still learning how to do attribution on bust halves - where should I start on this one? [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
Well, I did put a few on there that fall into that category. I'll try again later, with a slightly broader net of challenging but obtainable coins.

Certainly not trying to pick a fight, but the difference between "high AU" & MS65 is not due to any of my (many) photographic failings. We've all...
I used the CoinFacts app to pull up comps that have recently sold in slabs. The oddest bit of wear is on the reverse ribbon, as that isn't usually...
I think you're taking that serving of crow a bit salty, don't you?
Marked "Best Answer". I'd have been hard pressed to guess the slabbers saw an MS65 coin here from pics alone.
Just a reminder - don't let toning distract you from surface details. Some of these coins literally sat in wet burlap sacks for 60 years at the...

This is one of the larger So-Called Dollars that is also catalogued as a US Mint issue. The seller didn't know what he had and sold it for under...
Some of the exceedingly low mintage So-Called Dollars can still be grabbed for a song. Good find!
I'm also happy that I guessed this right. Beautiful coin, even cooler story. Do you have a tutorial link for how to do the "click here for the...
