On the photo, portions of the coin's reverse have a strange bubbly "showflake" effect... above the arrows, 'twixt the wing and wreath along the...
I don't have a Fugio 1c... but if I had one coming my way, I'm sure I'd be excited. Congrats ! Post up when it comes in.
You've made another key point... any given damage is in the eye of the beholder. For one guy, it's forgiveable... for another, intolerable. That...
They're pretty hokey.
Personally, I find the Royal Canadian Mint's offerings gimmicky and ridiculous, but that's just me. I don't think the RCM has done any harm, nor...
Some of 'em are steel. Those are true rarities. :yawn: If you're an insider - i.e. you have his personal e-mail - maybe he'll let you bid on one...
You got the dude's e-mail address ? I bet that's a hot property ! Heck, you could probably sell that on e-bay !!! :mouth:
Without it, he looks like Edgar Allen Poe ! :eek:
First - I really like the coin. Yes, I'm sure it will be popular. Second - Yes, the Gettysburg Address is one of the greatest of all time. I'm...
That's an important point. Yes, it works well with EAC guys... keeping in mind that, as a group, the EAC fraternity is WAY above average in...
Yep ! Those condition rarities can be pretty spendy... :p
Well, it arrived in the mail today... "In Yankee Doodle's Pocket", a book about early American colonial coinage. It's a lot more than just an...
Duly noted and reported. This one should be "off the air" pretty fast - open and shut case. A slam dunk. Thanks for pointing it out.
I think I overheard the rest of that conversation ! It went like this... "Hey look ! It's 1804 ! That's a better date, right ?"
The Half 1c is 1808. By 1809, they were Classic Head. Half Cents made the transition from Draped Bust to Classic one year after the Large Cents....
Agreed. One of the reasons is this... for any given problem, some people react more negatively than others. When it comes to problems, everyone...
That's right. They shouldn't. Agreed... but here, we're close to getting back into the "technical vs. market grading" discussion. Along those...
Cool ! Thanks, Mike. It seems odd that they do disclose the reason for not grading it - they give a code number, which is public knowledge. But...
Wow ! What a scorcher. Based on the photos, it's a PR64 DCAM. Yes, there is minor funk on the obverse - chin, eye, curls at the temple. Between...
That's exactly right. That would put them up with all the others ! I'm surprised they aren't. I'm gonna hit 'em up with some correspondence. If...
Separate names with a comma.
