Seems like you got an excellent price, but I don't collect gold. For the record I believe what you have at 12:00 on the obverse might not be a...
You don't see nice looking copper circ-cams too often. Nice find!
Like it a lot! I have an 1836 that’s similar [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Cost me just $25. It’s also O-105 which is R-4 albeit low R-4. Probably no added...
Wonderful coin. Fun fact - a few bags of UNC 1859-O and 1860-O dollars were found during the Treasury releases of the 1960s. Circulated bags...
Would like to spend a bit more when I get a 1794. Maybe $250 or so. At that price, you can get a smooth brown problem-free planchet, or you can...
A Liberty Cap cent has been a bucket list type for me for a long time now, and I finally got to fill that hole. Was browsing Ebay about a week...
Respect that. Looks like a set someone could have built out of circulation at the time this folder was printed in the 1940s. I like it!
One interesting thing about this series… the keys (1885, 1886, 1912-S) remain the keys at every grade level, even up to Gem MS. There aren’t any...
Made illegally, left the mint illegally, and the US Mint never authorized them. Kind of interesting that it's even legal to own, given the 1933...
Nice folder and nice to see it complete! Will you leave it at that or start upgrading the common dates? For the record, a lot of collectors don't...
I actually knew about these "Broken R" counterfeits before this thread. Kind of amazed that one actually slipped by NGC.
Expert? Nah, I just study Seated coinage a lot… and its varieties. I don’t even own an UNC Seated coin! Need to change that! But I’ve been...
That 1840-O half dime is beautiful! Color me jealous!
[IMG] [IMG] I'll have a 1796 Liberty Cap cent in hand and ready to post in a couple days, but this is my 1796 Draped Bust. This particular one is...
Nice Large Cent and good price on this tougher date. Although a bit more than $20 range... you're gonna love what I'm getting in a couple days...
I am actually trying to “improve” a coin too. A while back I bought an 1896-O Barber Half out of a junk/melt bin with VG sharpness, but...
It's a cleaned coin in the end but it looks much more appealing than before. Given it is a semi-key date that is quite tough with this level of...
And the ones released into circulation usually ended up circulating and wearing down. It was pretty tough for an average person during the Great...
"Plumbago" made me think of Red Dead Redemption... lol
Yeah... realized that a bit later. I'm not as good with Caps as I am with Busts.
