I've posted most of my high-grade barber coinage in other threads. Don't think I've posted this one: [img] [img] Please excuse the old and poor...
Wow, I missed that one the first time through. That's quite a coin, Elbesaar. Is it slightly prooflike, as appears from the photos?
That was a toughie.
p.s. when you get a new Dansco, take out all the slides, and try and remove all of the cardboard "dust". If this dust settles on your coins, they...
There's nothing wrong with albums for inexpensive coins, IMO. If you are worried about fingerprints, use gloves, and be very careful when moving...
I missed that. Thanks for pointing it out. If Conder couldn't do it from memory, I stand little to no chance even with books, if experience...
It's been pretty close among the top for a while.
Oh man, I should have quit while I was ahead. :) Meh, whatever. I'm here to have fun....and let the results fall where they may. Frankly,...

I guessed 66. I wanted to guess 65.
67
Compare the relative price of a s-258 to any 1797. The latter is roughly 5x the price of the former. 1803 is a common date. 1797 is not....
Paging Conder. Conder, please report to this thread. :)
Damn, I was gonna post this coin as a guess the grade and see if anyone commented on it's unique nature. Neat coin & congrats to the new owner!
Stealer, I think you're right -- a touch off center.
Next show you go to a show, ask some of the experienced dealers what their experience is breaking up silver rolls from the 30's and 40's. I...
My response to LDhair was related to his question on how coins can be so old and untoned -- by limiting airflow and thus sulphur. I was not...
