That 42-s would fit very nicely into a set of circulated Walkers I could envision!
Good link, that answers the question. The letters in the SM look sort of squat, whereas in the LM they appear vertically elongated-- "filling the...
Interesting! I've never seen one without the lightning. Sorry I can't help with the attribution.
I like your taste in Walkers, Mr. WalkerD! [IMG] [IMG] Dang! gotta resize that one...
Probably something about it in the Bowers magnum opus, next time I have $400 to spend on a book...... Still a very cool coin, of a type I had...
Tough call! I think I prefer the PCGS coin, there is a toning streak on the NGC example that is a little annoying to me; but they are both really...
Sorry, that was kind of a runon post! I noticed WalkingD had 2 posts credited, so I thought I should say howdy! and Welcome! Congrats on topping...
Where is "motto" in the motto? In God's motto we trust? (just a typo, I'm sure but struck me as funny) Please clarify, as I have wondered about...
Too much carousing does a dull numismatist make, that's my story and I'm stickin' to it!
Mark to the rescue! hey, no such thing as a bad bustie, unless it's a fake, which yours aren't. Is there a story about the 2 dots over the...

yesterday I rearranged my photobucket albums, so the links to my photos were lost. I'll post a few of them in no particular order: 1916-d, obv....
I became better at spotting fakes after I bought several and studied them. Quite a few of them are lurking in old collections- the Chinese have...
I rearranged my photobucket albums, I had everything in 1 album (!) so they woudln't link. Should be ok now. Wasn't trying to hijack the thread,...
I think it's about AU53, dipped and cleaned. The high points are (obv) hair behind Liberty's eye, left breast, left leg; reverse: tops of wings,...
Looks cast, with the remains of a gold wash. Neat street find, though!
The bust dollar may very well be authentic. That it's been cleaned and polished is apparent, but if genuine it is still a valuable coin. What are...
It's very hard to authenticate these from photos, as you have to look for specific patterns of depressions and toolmarks from the counterfeit...
