What about the coin makes you say "Details"? I see a fingerprint, but that's expected on a circulated coin. (As are the minor rim bumps). I'd...
.... What is the "R" value?
And to me, "penny" and "cent" are interchangeable, equivalent, and equally acceptable. Do you get offended when people call the "5 cent" piece a...
No. S mint cents aren't worth a premium over any other cent - they were minted in very large quantities, and circulated freely (they were business...
How much does your dad know about coins? Do you have any experience as a dealer? I can't comment on the business aspects of it, but for the...
The only thing I see is die deterioration. As the force of striking coins wears upon the die, the elements tend to get bloated and distorted. The...
I think the 1824 Bust is my favorite of the group as well. It is gorgeous. Yes, it was almost certainly dipped (it is way too white to not have...
No, on the SMS. Very much no. Read this link for more info: http://www.pcgscoinfacts.com/Coin/Detail/6844?redir=t Grade is probably 63 or 64,...

I had a great time - one of the best shows I've attended in a while. When the coin I got comes back from NGC, I'll post a thread and show report....
Oh man, I really hope prices for everything on the bourse are this weak. It is going to be a fantastic trip if that's the case! Well, goodnight...
I would really like a Flowing Hair Half. I think they are beautiful, but the prices are just a little too high for the grade I want (VF at least)....
This is the first big auction in a while where there isn't a huge name collection ginning up publicity. I think the next Pogue is in February,...
That is Great Collections, not Heritage.
The FUN show is one of the biggest shows of the year. It is always the first week of January. This auction is just really weak. A lot of the...
Show us the reverse? It looks to be attractive. These are worth a few bucks in low circulated grades like that.
Yikes, did you see the '89 in 68? $6k.... and the 1890 in 68 did the same. Geez, that 1890 was a gorgeous coin. And the price guide on them both...
I think in general, the Seated quarters in this auction are more attractive than the Barber dimes. They are doing better, but they are still not...
