It will be interesting to see how this turns out! Thanks for clarifying NGC policy, 900fine. Looks like any of the big 3 can do the job....
Here is a Woods' Hibernia halfpenny, Harp left, 1722. I really like the obv. detail. There are patches of verdi on the reverse. What do ya'll...
According to the seller, this is a Crosby 4-c, Breen 1113. the rarest variety. I don't know, but the price was right. There is more visible of the...

I'm sure it's just about perfect. I would look and see what these have been selling for lately: Heritage archives, ebay completed listings,...
Superb! Neat 'pedigree' too.
Great token, Larry, thanks for sharing your fine images!
I am only seeing high point wear, so will say AU-58.
Those look really nice, think you could post larger pix the next time around? On my pc they are showing up as little squares in the upper left...
Nice one, Eduard! Patience rewarded!
First year of the design (John Reich), 51,065 struck from a single die pair. I see about 20 of them auctioned on Heritage since 2005, an xf-40 NGC...
