I don't know much of anything about Irish and Scottish coinage, but I'm thinking of expanding my shilling typeset to these.
I would call it Fine by American standards. British standards, maybe VG? I'm not so good with y'all's scale.
How about seeing one in my backyard? That was an unforgettable experience. I would choose the Walking Liberty Half. Beautiful, artistic, symbolic.
Y'all are ragging on ICG for doing this, but NGC and PCGS do it too. I just recently sold a 1960D NGC MS64FBL that was in a 1960 (w/o mintmark) slab.
I'm pretty sure I've posted most of these here before: [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
That almost certainly happened post striking.
I just recently starting getting a few Kennedy's. As you all know, I'm crazy about the Franklin's, but my business strike set is nearing...
Thanks! I agree, low grade circulated Franklin's are rather ugly. High grade, well struck coins are nice though!
That is a proof, so it is definitely a type II. Remember, most proofs in 1956, and all proofs after that, had the Type II eagle.
My best guess to produce an effect like that would be a double struck coin, second strike slightly shifted. If that is the case, great find!
It is impossible to tell the grade from those pics, sorry. I will say though that 53D is a very common date, and one of the best struck dates in...
Post a pic and there are several guys on here, including myself, that can help you with an attribution. It is far more likely that you are missing...
Dok U, its hard to tell, but I don't think thats a Type II. The type II has much stronger feathers, whereas yours are very weak, ill defined, and...
It is impossible to grade proofs from good images, and even more impossible to grade from those images. I can tell you, however, that coin does...
I don't see any doubling in those pics - but there is probably quite a bit of die deterioration. The 1958 Type II's were struck from discarded...
Yup, that is definitely a Type II. As I said, 1958 Type II's are much harder to find. Yours appears to be AU from the pics, in hand it could be as...
Kind of surprised by the lack of discussion here. Anybody?
I am not depressed at all by dropping Franklin prices. That just means I can get nicer, better, more :) That is a gorgeous EOR you got there, do...
Taking care of life is the highest priority. You might regret selling it, but just think of all the coins you will be able to buy once you start a...
That is a nice Roosie. I'll show the only three I own: [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
