clean coin nice worn-die luster 67
Neat coins & cool clip too! Thanks for sharing & good to hear you are doing well. :)
I have never heard a collector say he looked at too many coins before purchasing one. However, I have heard more than a few say they wished they...
Love the value of the "full except for the head" strike, Lehigh, and the coin's a looker too. That said, and IMHO, the color is good but not...
There are two things, primarily, that affect file size of a JPEG file: 1) Resolution (the number of vertical and horizontal pixels) 2) JPG...
Looks like a bust half dime. I'll wager an 1836 or 37. ;)
I'm no expert, but I'm a half way good grade guesser. :) I'd guess 64 or 65 RD. I see no luster impairment. Nice coin for a roll!
That's a wonderful Washie!

$351 :p
Darn, I wish I had seen this coin in-hand. :( Very interesting discussion, gentlemen.
Dip, in the hands of someone who knows what they're doing, can have amazing results if used on the right coin -- as is shown clearly by Matt's...
p.s. interesting observation, Marshall. I didn't see any evidence of multiple strikes when I first viewed the coin.
I didn't want to say anything, but since you did.... The area around LIBERTY on the obverse does seem to have been tooled. Anywhere else?
Obverse field luster impairment limits grade. AU 55
Hmmm. I wanna say AU. But pics make luster very hard to read. Gonna guess 62 -- which means, of course, that it'll grade 63 as I've...
Field hits/scrapes in right obverse field would be my guess (or at least it was the rationale I used when grade the coin).
64 rb Neat beard detail. It's so interesting to me how much more detail these early-ish years have.
