I'm with those who say that the photos probably don't do the coin justice. I have a very colorful 75-p in AU that always looks drab in my images,...
assuming it is genuine-- I think it is but can't be totally sure from the images-- It looks cleaned, scratched and damaged with a deformed rim...
Yes. google "Houck's Panacea" which is a very sought after counterstamp, usually on bust half dollars.
Great find, wcoins! I bet John Kraljevich would be very interested in this gold dollar and the author of the thread should contact him!(I was...
That's called a counterstamp. It was common in the 19th century for some merchants (usually silvermsiths/jewelers) to stamp their names onto...

Thanks for bringing back this thread. Nice pair of Roosies!
I finally have a Pan-Pac! This arrived in the mail today. For some reason these often tone up with aqua blue and rose colors that I really...

Cool gift. I'd rather have that than a watch, too! Mat's '72 looks to have very nice surfaces and patina.
thanks Vic! I really like your coin. I don't find the scratch too distracting, more important to me is that both Liberty and the eagle are...

The reverse is more of an even gray. As I see no signs of it being cleaned, I think the coin was kept in an old style coin board for many years....
I mentioned earlier that I wasn't totally happy with my 1842, so now I have this one (from Gene Bruder) which I really like. tilted in the...
some really nice coins. Love the reverse on Skyman's Vermont. Robec that BTW is a stunner!
I really like your 1812 half! way to go! the 1877 looks very nice as an XF to me. On the rev I see a rim bump at 12 and from there to about 2...
