@jgenn, to answer your question - I do not presently own this coin. In fact, after I bough it at the HA auction, I arranged for it to be sent to...
Nothing gets the discussion (and the emotions!) going so fast in a U.S Coin Forum as a good old discussion on the relative merits, or lack...
I must say the appearance is unlike any genuine Higley (in photos) that I have ever seen. It seems much too uniform. I have severe doubts about it.
Thank you very much for your comments @drbrummer. I had not realised full strikes on '49-O's are so scarce, so it seems I got lucky with this one....
And rightly so, @CoinCorgi. That is a nice example in spite of the alleged cleaning - which to me at least is not evident. I mentioned my first...
Really sorry to hear that.....I also bought many coins from Bowers and Merena between 1986 and 1996. The first 2-3 years kept them in their...
I would be happy with EF45, even more with AU50. It was a lucky find and am glad I went for it. Next on my list is an '45-O.
@longshot, thank you for your opinion on the grade of the 49' O. I have some difficulty grading seated coinage above EF40 or so, and your opinion...
Two new additions to my early seated New Orleans collection, a dime and half dime. The first is an 1838-O Half Dine, the coin is low grade and...

Why not a Roman denarius, but not just of any emperor. Marcus Aurelius, the Philosopher-Emperor, one of the so-called 5 Good Emperors. You may...
How about a pretty little coin from Frankfurt in remembrance of your stay in Germany, and the fact you like City Views? (it's more than you plan,...
It looks like I may need to change the title of this thread. I last posted this denarius of Galba back in December 2017. At that stage, based on...
Thank you very much for posting your coin and your comments. That is a nice example of the Ecu de Six Livres de la Convention, minted at Lyon. I...
I have cherry picked a lot of coins in my time, both U.S and World, but never a 2C small motto, (or a 1C 1858/7). Wouldn't mind finding one here...
From what I have heard you speak, that should be no problem:). By the way, I think the French Revolution, and in particular the "Reign of Terror"...
Thank you, @Seattlite86. The Ecu de Six Livres de la Convention is actually a vey historical coin. It was minted by the Convention Nationale...
Thank you for your comments, Chris and Seattlite. In an attempt to learn more about the Ecu de Six Livres of the Convention I have researched...
I would like to ask if anybody here has experience or knowledge concerning the Ecu de Six livres struck by the French National Convention during...
