Well, I'm still here... and I'm salivating, that's for sure. What a sizzler ! Gotta be a 65. I've never seen a CBH with that much luster. Maybe...
Any chance this is a discovery coin ???
No brag... just fact ! Congrats on the old set, good luck on the new !
I'm told one of the reasons silver dollars weren't all that popular was their weight and bulk. Try putting 4 or 5 Ikes in your pocket and...
Well, I am certainly NOT a US Colonial expert ! But I think a grade of VG seems reasonable. Many of these early coppers are plagued by crummy...
To be meaningful, they need a much, much larger sample size. Instead of 20 ratios, they would need 2,000 ratios. 400 US Coin issues, 5 grades each.

It might be a regional thing. I take two kids, my neice (5) and nephew (13), to the big Houston show every December (Money Show of the...

I think "Copper Quotes by Robinson" has them, but I'm not sure.
By today's standards, I bet it's in an MS66 slab. There are few if any outright gouges. All the flaws look like minor luster grazes to me, and...
Ms65
What the heck... I'll say G4. Weak rims.
Never, ever count on that. It could be worse. I used to play the game "they're 3 points high, bid accordingly". i.e. they say MS65, I'll bid as...
Until it's time to sell ! :eek: Part of the problem is a buyer doesn't necessarily know s/he's been hosed until many years down the line....
Maybe the darn thing is an outright counterfeit. Maybe the coin is VF details, cleaned, net VG10. Rather than have it in an NCS holder which...
So, do you like the digital keypad / keyed system ? Is there anyone out there that can comment on the thief-proof security of that ? Also......
