Thanks for the comments. This dime only graded MS62, because of the cheek mark (I think it's a luster break, not a scratch) but I really liked...
1878-cc? [IMG] [IMG]
I reshot the trime with more exposure, this is closer to how it really looks. also included my representative buffalo nickel: [IMG] [IMG]...
Great coins, Kanga. All look very attractive and nice for grade, imo. thanks for posting them.
Myfirst impression was MS66, or better, but you really can't tell without a closeup look. I'm not too thrilled with the toning, either, but I...
beautiful! a great addition to your type set.
That's a great coin! The 12 stars is somewhat scarce; a hoard of the 13 stars variety numbering about 1,000 mint state coins known as the "Collins...

Thanks. I welcome others to post any fake TD's they might own, here for discussion- especially the more convincing ones. I'm still on the fence...
Exhibit B: 1877-CC, weight in acceptable range, but fake. I bought this coin in an ANACS holder, which turned out to be fake, too: [IMG] This...
OK, so here is the story on these four coins. Exhibit A: in my opinion, a genuine 1876-cc DDR. Purchased (cherrypicked!) from a well known eBay...
Very nice! From here, it looks G-6+, bumping up awfully close to VG. That's a great coin.
I believe it was in an album or envelope for a time. The images are a lot darker than the actual coin (might need to check the white balance!) the...
A while back I posted on a thread- forgot which one- that each of the 4 mintmarks (reverse dies) of the 1916-d dime is paired with a specific...
Nice detail on that coin!
I like the colors on this 38-d: [IMG] [IMG]
