I think my wife would rather have me be obsessed about coins, than about some of my other hobbies...... as it is, she has only banned talk about...
Once again, thank you Treashunt! I don't have access to Wayte Raymond albums, so i will try the brown envelope approach. I was thinking maybe i...
Thank Treashunt, i have never tried that. Will give it a try. Eduard
About 20 years ago i was really interested (enthralled is probably the right word) by the US civil war period and history, and i just "had" to get...
Tater, i would also agree that the color is natural. It is slightly light in tone as you say, but overall quite pleasing. It does not have to...
Thank you all very much for your comments. This one came from Stacks. It was brighter when i got it (possibly dipped), but it has toned down...
The silver trimes are a little outside my main collecting interest. But i was always attracted by their design and unusual denomination. Here is...
Once again, thank you for your comments. The C8 is actually better in-hand than the picture shows. The lighting just wasn't right, and I just...
Well Ruben, not to be pedantic, but ostentatious means something like snobbish, somebody who holds himself in too high esteem, etc. (if i knew...
Sorry Andrew! i didn't mean to be pedantic by using the word "pedantic" (it probably has something to with learning english as a foreign language...
You know HT, nothing happened (what is NARU'd by the way?). PayPal was not able to refund me because the guy's account was frozen and empty,...
well, i find the tone here relaxed in general, easy going and friendly. That is probably one factor which attracts many starting collectors. By...
It is probably just a coincidence, but i find it interesting that the guy running this suspect listing, and the guy from whom i won the 1844 dime...
Thank you GD, that is a very interesting site for reference. I never would have thought coins were dated as far back as the year 1234. My guess...
I think this is an interesting coin. It is a late mediaeval coin bearing a regular date. It is my earliest dated issue - a Goldgulden or Dukat...
Mark, my browser was not able to open up the thumbnail pics when i first tried. Now it works. Ok, so the 1820 10C is not a VF+ and it does have a...
Thank you everybody. I am glad you find the topic interesting. Early U.S coinage, Flowing hair, draped, or capped bust are definitely my...
1811 was only the second year that the new bust dime designs were minted, with the type being first struck in 1809. Only one die pairing is...
I like them all Mark - The pictures are a tad small to really appreciate the detail, but from what i can see that 1820 dime has got to be VF30+....
Very nice coin Garrett! If you always wanted one, that one has all the looks to please. I am sure you are very happy. Eduard
