I'd keep one or two as examples, and spend or give away the rest.
Good point, the table in Newcomb is great!
Read the thread linked above and it should become more clear. Basining, in short, is convex polishing of the die with a rotating wheel....
And how often in attribution does this happen. Never, IMO. What typically happens is you have a coin and need to attribute it from twenty to...
He didn't add the date pics because his system of measurements is MORE accurate than any picture could be. It ain't optimal, and pics sure would...
Like others, I have concern with the color. Setting that issue aside, the coin appears to have XF details. Nice coin for almost 200 years old!...
We have a winner. The basining disk used in New Orleans was less "dished" than the other mints. The result is the weakly struck area discussed...

p.s. I like it too! :)
Atypical NT is my first guess. Certainly not an album or envelope or bag toned coin. I'd guess a cigar box or a drawer or something and stored...
p.s. The answer is not the obvious one, and FWIW I just learned it today -- so I thought I would pass it along.... But not just yet....
Nice strike, but looks like an AU 63 to me. I'd like to buy it in an AU slab, and sell it in a 63 slab. I suspect if sent to the TPGs it would...
To clarify, I should have said "weakly struck above the ear".
I don't mean to boast, but my color/hue vision is unusually good. :ohya: Acuity? Not so good due to astigmatism. :headbang: Memory, not so...
Why are o-mint Morgan dollars generally weaker than the other mint issues? :secret:
Not so fast.... Attribution is not a multiple choice question with 3 answers when it comes to this date. There are thirty something varieties,...
I think it's fair to say that oils do a very good job of protecting copper. They have been used for a long time and with fabulous results. Their...
Lehigh just posted one. :)
