I have that thought as well but I was certain it said I was outbid at $240 when I hit the "cut bid" button. I don't know where or when my "bid...
I'll clarify that "what I was willing to spend" had BP factored in - was willing to spend around $300 with BP hence the $250 stated above -...
OK, I'll try. Or was this treasure hunt just for @charley ? https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/constitutions/the-philippine-organic-act-of-1902/...
For someone with more experience bidding on Heritage than me... I placed a max bid yesterday at 9:55am of $223 for a coin with a Numismedia value...
That's a little known tidbit about those years. US coins that were kinda, sorta, Philippines coins! NGC echos what you quoted, in their blurb on...
Depends on how you define "US coin" I guess. If you parse the definition to "legal tender inside the United States" then probably no, they aren't....
They say United States of America on them.
Seems like a fair grade, although that scratch across the field and face... it barely shows up in the hair in your first photo, but quite obvious...
I'm guessing that must be the "Gimbels Department Store" example, sold 03/89 by Bowers & Merena for $33000, G4. The auction catalog is archived at...
I'd say FR02. AG3 still has some eye left, at least according to Photograde.
Congrats! Interesting wear on the reverse for the MM to still be obvious.
Some of those look like they were in the mint parking lot then sealed.
Would it not have to have happened after going through the upsetting mill though? Regardless, I don't really see it as a "mint error", whether it...
I imagine the trend started with the Columbian half (1892-1893), then the Pilgrim (1920-1921). Hard to understand with a large number of both of...
Looks like damage to me, it just happened inside the mint. I can't think of anything that would cause it that would be considered an "error."
Nice set, and I learned something new. I was vaguely aware of these but had no idea that they were minted for 6 years.
The bison seems like an odd choice.
I imagine there are more of these "hoards" sitting in European banks somewhere. Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't the double eagles at least...
Much of the info here https://www.pcgs.com/news/pcgs-announces-contemporary-counterfeit-status-of-1896-o-1900-o. Many more identified since then,...
Definitely odd. I can see a bank giving them away as a promotion to open an account or something, but selling them?
