I'd go for the bean , it's cheaper and if you get a gold people pay stupid money for them . But like Camaro said , if you're not selling why waste...
Just as important it has the 1367 reverse , nice R-5 .
Looks like a AU-55 so anywhere from $35 to $45 , though I'd wait for some others . Also it's hard to grade an upside down coin .
That's not Unc , or rainbow or FBL . Do you have a grading book like the ANA Grading Standards ?
Depends if you mean the coin is VG-8-10 , it would be worth about bullion .
I suppose whenever you're running metal over metal some letters might wear off or wear down . Also since it was done by hand turning a crank human...
I admit Bowers Redbook confuses things , but if you have the Store Card book by Fuld it's less confusing . Yours does have a reeded edge though ,...
Thanks Bill , that's what I was thinking too but wasn't sure . Ohio 165EZ-3a it is . The part I wasn't sure of is right above that where they say...
Heck , I'll make some of mine read whatever he wants . You'd think he'd know it either wore off or maybe the coin wasn't perfectly round and...
Guess we both did . He's a good man as he knows his Civil War Tokens . He's one of the people that got me interested in them .
Sounds good . But this id a tough one to match . I'll PM Bill (Penny Guy ) as he atributes the hard one better than me .
Because they didn't use true reeding until the use of closed collar dies . Before that they used a milling and upsetting machine to make the coins...
Did you look in your Redbook if you have one as some as early as 1809 had them , as they were more like the letter I .
No , they weren't reeding , the were added when the lettering was added as just something to stop people from shaving the edges .
Like I said yesterday those #s aren't listed in the 2nd edition of Fulds book . So unless they are new discoveries , which is possible , it should...
No not an error , some coins had lines sort of like reeding both vertical and diagonal between the lettering . If you have a Redbook and look at...
I'm starting to think those #s from Illinois are mistakes as I heard there were a few in the Redbook of Civil War Tokens . BRandM , that sounds...
I'd love to get one , must be one of the prizes of your collection .
Yep well worth the $15 membership , that you will get back in savings if you buy one or both the books , plus the journels are super interesting .
I noticed that , but if you want the rarity of any Fuld # , just write it and I'll look it up for you . If you're going to collect CWTs , either...
