I guess I feel like I have to balance out the junk I posted on the 'cautionary tale' thread, LOL.
You know, it DOES look like a 6. Coin is back at the bank, next time I'm there I'll have look. Thanks for that observation.
Beautiful cent, illini. Crusty's IHC is simply awesome. Here's a recent buy from Dick Osburn: [IMG] [IMG]
Well, I messaged Angel Dee's about obtaining a full strike FEC and discovered to my dismay that my only hope was MS63-64 minimum. After taking my...
OK, it's posted on the Collector's Universe US coins forum. http://forums.collectors.com/messageview.cfm?catid=26&threadid=731991
Thanks for sharing your experiences. Some of the BU coins I submitted came back as MS62-63, so they were properly described, but they were fairly...
Thanks, Rusty! Your TD is a cool coin, really! I think I will re-image the trime, I believe I underexposed it. I don't have much copper....
Another danger of buying raw coins: PVC! here is an 1883 V-nickel I bought a couple of years ago. Somehow it wound up in the sdb in a soft flip!...
Another early purchase, an 1827 bust half. I bought it raw, it was bright white, I sent it in to the "old" ICG with a bunch of other stuff, and it...
Love the patina on that coin! scratches be darned, that's a nice bust dollar!
Hi Connor1, that's something I've never seen before-- AU53 DMPL! Are you a member of the CU forum (PCGS)? There are some serious Trade Dollar...
That's a very interesting piece, and something you sure don't see every day!
Welcome! I like your sense of humor, and look forward to your posts.
I agree that the trime is rather dark. I like coins with dark toning in the periphery, if the central devices stand out in contrast, but even that...
thanks for the comments, folks. Rusty, I'm going to have to buy some better "type" Barbers: my dime and quarter are both bright from dipping--...
It has great luster. The little dark spot above the eagle's head isn't too noticeable in hand, but in the photo it looks like tar.
Do you prefer this 1844? [IMG] [IMG]
Thanks, I'm glad you like it. If I were to have it slabbed, it would probably make it into one of the DGS "lightly cleaned" holders, LOL.
So, this guy is selling a photo of a 40-d quarter. If you are searching for a 40-d quarter, guess what you run across? Seems disingenuous to me.
Sorry, I rearranged some photos in my photobucket albums, and lost the links to the first post. Since I am now unable to edit that post, I will...
