No camera can capture great color. Must see to appreciate ! Do you feel this coin is PL ?
I resemble that remark ! :D
Thanks, Conder ! That suggests there aren't a lot of serious collectors of these coins.
Yep. We also see how foolish it is to buy expensive raw coins, especially on E-bay. This is "Thread of the Year" material. :high5:
That's right. And the coins won't do anything for the acetone either... so I would wait for another day and other coins. Personally, I've...
Yep. Yep. Yep. The originals will always be in mega-demand. There is no substitute, least of all low-relief Saints. The new UHRs will...
There is some good verbiage in "Copper Quotes by Robinson" and the Noyes Middle Dates book. I find the EAC method much more sensible than the...
Oh yeah ! ...and I usually do what the voices in my head tell me ! If I had 20 like this*, I'm sure I would talk myself into one more....
This is important "icing on the cake" on the crackout topic... particularly the "talented" and "difficult" parts. If it were easy, and...
So what's the best book for these dimes ? Is it still "US Dimes 1796 - 1837" Logan Lovejoy McCloskey et al ? If so, where the heck can I find one...
I have mixed feelings because of where I've been. And where I go. I joyfully spend much time in prison. I volunteer for the Kairos prison...
Lemmee get this straight... someone tried to rob a GUN SHOP ??!?!? Shortened life expectancy fo sho. Dude oughta win some kind of award for that...
Is this thing Proof-like ? I don't see any hint of cartwheel, just glassy smooth fields. Surface preservation like that on a coin this big is...
It's my opinion that you and Zaneman are in a mortal Death Race to see who can post the hippest coins :D Right now, it's neck and neck
I think he's in a duel with Eduard to throw down the coolest coins. It's a horse race ! All I can say is :thumb: :bow: :thumb: :bow: :thumb:
Yep... little or none. Soft obverse strike, I'm guessing. The reverse seems pretty well struck.
When thinking of "margin"... often dealers sell coins they have NO money in. They take coins on consignment from collectors etc. In addition,...
I toyed with the idea it might be a proof, but I've decided not. Too many places with soft strike (stars on the right, most of Libbie's details)....
The first thing I thought when I saw this coin was the funk in front of Libbie - especially 'twixt the throat and star #2. It almost looks like a...
Yep. To me, it looks like porosity / pitting at 1am on the obverse. Johnny54321 - what say ye ? Porosity / pits ? Are those micro-dimples...
