Nice pickups, Toad. How often does it happen that you get several things you actually need in one lot? good karma!
I agree, he knows his stuff. I have learned a lot from reading the auction listings, and the R.A. catalogs are a bargain, imo.
Pretty neat! I've never seen one of those.
Thanks, it has enough detail to appreciate the design, but not so much as to bankrupt me!! It also has a nice mellow golden color to it that...
Here is an AU Washington quarter I recently purchased: note the 'pewter' color of the hair around the ear, and on the high point of the cheek (the...
I bought this from Jeff Rock, of "Rosa Americana," recently off eBay. Basically, I just liked the way it looked, but it has some interesting...
I'm in the AU58 camp too-- light wear along the cheek and the leading edge of the forehead hair. The lighting makes it hard to assess the curls by...

Thanks for the suggestions-- it isn't a very expensive coin, I would just like to reduce the extent of the corrosion a bit-- I am thinking of...
The Chinese are producing copies of virtually every US issued coin, including SLQ's, Barbers, CBH's, Bar Coppers, you name it.... Most of them are...
