Rob, thank you. I very much enjoyed it, and like @Randy Abercrombie, I learned a lot! I started to put together a "Poor Man's" Caesar set, but i...
Sir, I could spend weeks looking at your fantastic collection. Likewise, I could "overstay my welcome" listening to you talk about your life...
Thank you. I started not to get it, but it had such of a "presence" about it, that I changed my mind. As for my wife, I gave her a 3 carat diamond...
I just picked this one up today, just because it is a good strike and I didn't have this year. Oh, and it was fairly cheap. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I like it. I just picked one up Tuesday. It's pretty rough, but like you pointed out, it's 227 years old, and getting harder to find in any...
Ha! That's the very first thing I thought of, too.
Sorry Paddy. I love your posts. Your dedication and expertise are recognized and much appreciated. But... Here I've got to disagree with you. I...
No, sorry I didn't qualify that. I only collect coins that were released into circulation. So, since the 1873 was proof only, I didn't even...
Well I finally got an 1871 Two Cent Coin. It's probably the nicest 2 Cent coin that I have. It's an AU 58. Now all I'm missing is the 1872....
Ok. Mine's not as nice as yours, I do need to take better pictures. Mine is in holders that, I think, has some scratches on them, so they don't...
I wasn't going to dig through the junk silver bucket again, but I did. And, I couldn't leave well enough alone, again. These aren't very old, but...
Yes sir, I can understand that. When you upgrade, and no longer hear this one, remember me. I might be interested, if I can get my hearing aids by...
I am constantly amazed at his wealth of knowledge, and his willingness to share it. I have a coin that must have traveled around the world at...
Ok, I really went outside my normal collecting range. Not only is this not a coin, but I wasn't happy getting just 1, I got 5 of them! Here's...
This one was in there, too. I know it's a later year, but, again, just too nice to leave it (at least to me). [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Ha! I didn't tell her I was even there, lol. It was just about $6.50. If you look at the obverse side, there's slight doubling. Most prevalent in...
This isn't anything spectacular, but it was in the junk silver pile and I couldn't let it go to be melted. I got it for melt price and was glad to...
@galba68 I agree about the number of pads, but i found this online? [ATTACH]
Well, I've got several seated coins (not a hundred, but several), but these are from my type set from 1847. I wanted a type set of regular issue...
Is something going on in the date of the 1886?
