Ah, thank you. I was thinking about the key date half dime. There is a 1853 no arrows dime though, and it's quite expensive.
Ah yes, the 1856-60 S mints. That's a really tough block in the quarter series too, and they are quickly rising in value right now.
Agree. Let's see the key dates: 1843-O 1844 1846 1853-O NA 1863 1864 1865 1866 1867 1871-74 CC 1879-81 Besides these, most coins in the series...
I don't know which was one was my VERY first, but it was either the 1853 half dime or the holed 1891 dime. I bought both when I was 10 years old.
I am Omegaraptor, a YN, and I like Seated coins. So I thought I would take a picture of my entire Seated collection at once. Here it is: [ATTACH]...
You know, my favorite coins are those pre-1873 with an "S" mint mark. I once saw an 1867-S half dime at a show. It was damaged and slightly bent,...
Nice! I'm assuming this was back in the 50s or early 60s.
1918 French 10 centimes. Though not worth a lot, it's a cool coin nontheless.
It was an 1898 IHC. I'll try to find it and post it on this thread later. Back when I was 9 years old... and I'm turning 14 in August. Here's to...
So it's the 180th anniversary of the Seated design appearing on mass-produced coinage (not Gobrecht dollars) and I was wondering about a type set....
General Chinese counterfeit color Toning near the rims which appears on many chinese counterfeits and does not appear often on genuine coins...
It actually looks to be a Chinese counterfeit to me.
Looks authentic to me. Nice coin. I wish I had a Liberty Cap cent, but my cents only go back to 1798...
I love the 32-S.
It is a genuine coin, no doubt about that. But there's also no doubt that it was harshly cleaned, probably to remove corrosion. I would pass on it.
Maybe reed count? IDK, that's probably unlikely because there may be two dates with different reed counts. In addition, the reeds may be worn...
The 1816 LC is N-2. http://www.coinfacts.com/large_cents/matron_head_large_cents/1816_large_cents/1816_large_cent_n2.htm so you can compare.
No, it's a poorly made cast counterfeit. It's bubbly and everything looks wrong.
This coin lists for $600 in the leading numismatic catalog, which is a great deal. But we could make a special deal, and cut the price to $300 and...
I've heard mixing two parts vinegar and one part peroxide might work. Just try not to inhale any fumes (it forms peracetic acid).
