This is what one of my favorite ancient coin dealers showed me when I asked him at a coin show if he had any modern coins: Peru, Lima mint 1/2...
Here is a close-up of the reverse: [ATTACH]
This variety of the 1842-O Seated Quarter may not qualify as a major variety among early seated quarters; however, it does seem to be out of the...
20 euros ($24 three years ago): [ATTACH]
My first impression was positive. These are really getting deceptive - not good news. Here is mine, ex B&M 1986. No crushed berry, thank god....
I fully agree with Q - so nice to see steve smiling after what he is going through. I have my own control check-ups (for re-occurrence) in April....

About $10 back in 2000 out of a dealer's assorted silver box. (something like $20 in todays money). Sorry for the terrible pics. They are pretty...
VG8 on the 1846 and a nice, scarce coin as others have mentioned.
This one is not an 1808, S-278, (it is an S-277) but I would like to post it here as well as it is a very nice example (and the best preserved in...
I have just noticed that the HA description for the S-278 Marshall shows mentions that 'the centering is typical of early die states, with the...
I have also just renewed my supporter status. Long overdue....... This is one of the very best sites for numismatic discussions and exchange....
