I sympathize with all who are stuck at work. I will try to go next year (and learn more about Cu coins in the meantime).
Hi folks, just got home from the office, and I'm really glad that my o.p. has led to such a spirited discussion about my quarter and SLQ's in...
Nice luster, but there seem to be a lot of obverse marks- I'm thinking MS-62.
Me neither. I wonder if Toad will go, that's not so far from Arkansas, is it?
Nice coin with a lot of detail!
On the last (largest) photo I posted, you can see a little black dot where the ear hole should be. Actually, it IS the ear hole. Here is how PCGS...
thanks for the attribution, Toad! I have to say the fugios are sort of addictive, but I am going to soldier on and try to finish my dinky...
Thanks for all the replies and opinions. here is another pic of the obv, lit differently to try to show more detail (maybe I can convince Ruben it...
Impressive color! MS65?
and then it seems like current Lincoln cents get black spots as soon as air hits them! I agree, it's pretty amazing, and we are lucky to be the...
Officially, it has a mint state grade, but I just studied it closely again under good light, and I'm satisfied that there is no wear. Looking at...
Apologies for the photos. Looking at it in hand, there is good detail where the gown crosses the body. The small central shield and 2 rivets are...
Nice 2 cent piece. I think this is a really interesting design. Don't know what the gray looking material is, but it doesn't seem to be eating...
I bought this a while, back and am interested in your opinion as to grade. It has (to me) lovely golden-rose coloring, and full luster when tilted...
After a very long delay, I have finally gotten around to imaging my lone fugio, perhaps a bit the worse for wear and corrosion, but like all of...
For some reason, that "food for thought" just keeps getting bigger and bigger the more I chew on it....
Call me a purist, but I just can't accept as "genuine" a coin struck in 1830 and dated 1804. I would much rather have a nice piece of Charlotte or...
Here is a link to a discussion of the "tells" of genuine and fake 1876-DDR Trade dollars....
The first coin posted looks fake, the second one looks genuine, imo. btw, I think chopmarks are neat, sometimes, also.
A cameo proof shield nickel is on my "must have list" but for now I will have to make do with images! Wonderful coins there, the 1911 Liberty is...
Separate names with a comma.
