Besides early coppers and dimes I also have an interest in draped and capped bust quarters. The older the better. Early quarters, more so of the...
This 1843-O Dime was one I was not expecting to find. This is a scarce coin, specially in grades above Fine. It came out of the blue. I did not...
Here is my example, and I can see how pronouncing that word can give you trouble!:) [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Thanks, everybody for your comments. I was hesitant to go beyond VF30 on this one, but I tend to undergrade seated coinage. Yes, too bad about the...
Altogether not bad for the type. Quite likely cleaned at some point, now lightly toned. It does have some edge taps, but no major damage to the...
Congratulations Aethelred - of course we rejoice with thee! First ancient gold is a major occasion. A very nice example, too. I well remember how...
Nice and scarce coin, for sure! See, even though back then between your girlfriend (now you wife) and the coin, you made the right choice, the...
Glad you found one! (sorry I forgot that you had already posted it). I remember there was a time, some 5-6 years ago, when there seemed to be an...
Well, I have waited 11 years to show myself to my C.T friends... So here I am, after a stroll yesterday along the beach in Naples, Florida. It...
Congratulations on your 1809 JR-1, 1916D10C! It looks like a nice coin. I don't believe you have shown it to us before? It can confirm that it is...
An interesting and scarce variety. As you point out, it is actually scarcer than the 1814 StatesOfAmerica, JR-5. Nice addition, NSP! I am still...
Apparently amazon.de has it: https://www.amazon.de/Xylol-Isomerengemisch-min-Gebindegröße-Liter/dp/B00LBXF84S I got mine from an industrial...
Brandon, I routinely use rose thorns to dislodge stubborn gunk after an acetone bath. The acetone swells the gunk to some degree, and weakens it....
Unfortunately not. The scarce issue is the 50 Pfennig 1950 G, but bearing the name BANK DEUTSCHER LAENDER, instead of BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND....
I love your 1844 ("Orphan Annie"), and specially the 1863 (Civil War year - scarce!) I grade the 1844 F15 to VF 20, and the 1863 VF25 maybe VF30.
Paddy, Magnus, once again, thank you!
Here is another half dime I really like. It has nice toning and detail. (I found it in a small coin store in Brussels, Belgium many years ago....
If we can work it out next time you come to the Rhein-Main area and I am here, why not:).
Good question. I only have a picture of the slab of the '40 P. I think this is one of the larger ones. I'll look at the '64-S next time I go to...
Thanks to you all for your comments. Paddy, you are the H10C man! that's for sure. Thank you for the interesting additional comments Omegaraptor...
