ok, it looks to me like it is an 1835 O-110. The shape of the 5 in the date with visible recutting on the left of the upright portion of the 5,...
hmmm, I've edited my post to say "very likely illegitimate". That statement leaves the door open for an unknown marriage or a very good copy....
I will try to attribute it tomorrow. That way if it has an Overton number it is very likely genuine, but if none matches then it is very likely...
There are some nice 88's out there. I've seen them a few times, but that 86P is a toughie!! Mine is AU50 at best, more likely XF. Good luck!
WHOA!! there's gotta be a missing decimal point there somewhere, or else that is one EXPENSIVE coin! lol :eek:
we call those things "squinnies" (or a squinny). Although I like the sound of the word "marmot" its kinda fun to say! lol :)
well it looks like that particular MM location is one of the 4 known and accepted locations. here a couple of auctions at Heritage that have...
There were 4 different obverse dies used for the 09S VDB cents, each with a different mintmark location. I don't have examples of all 4 in front...
in general a holed coin is worth about 1/4 to 1/3 of the value of the same coin (in the same condition) without a hole. While hole size matters,...
I'm impressed! You made a SBA look not ugly anymore! That is a true feat. lol
I still am. Actually, a HUGE thank you to the OP for pointing that auction out to me. I was afraid I might never find one of those that was...
This guy should have spent the $25/ coin that he spent on slabs to upgrade his coins. He could have found much nicer coins (already in PCGS...
I agree Roy, the thickness of the rims lead me to believe that the 78S is a fake. Also the fact that there is a "line" around the obverse rim of...
No they don't. PCI is a second tier TPG, and NTC is somewhere below that. Maybe not as bad as SGS, but not in the same category as PCI (Which...
Additionally, the 1964 and the1964D are about the most common nickel around. You should find those on a VERY regular basis. The 1939, and the 2...
I do. I search for the 74 D DDO, as well as a couple of other lesser DD's; also I keep any AU+ coins from 1978-1988. They are REALLY uncommon....
nice! mine is in similar condition, but it is beautiful none the less.
searching halves is all about averages. Some people get lucky in the short run (Wheat for example) but for every four rolls like Wheat had there...
paul, what lead you to think it was altered or fake? I agree with doug that it looks genuine, but rather ugly for such an easy date to find...
