Looks cast, with the remains of a gold wash. Neat street find, though!
The bust dollar may very well be authentic. That it's been cleaned and polished is apparent, but if genuine it is still a valuable coin. What are...
It's very hard to authenticate these from photos, as you have to look for specific patterns of depressions and toolmarks from the counterfeit...
Thanks for the additional photos, sorry I missed the weight in the op. I was sleepy. I believe it is genuine, based on your excellent photos,...
Eduard, that flowing hair dollar is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing her with us. (for a copperguy, you have some awesome silver in your strongbox!)
I suspect Eduard has at least one very nice bustie (if it's anything like the rest of his coins).
In the meantime, I will point out that it has a very weakly struck obverse, with flat stars and head of Liberty, which is the rule for the 1877 P....
Hi, have you weighed it yet? Can you image a portion of the reeded edge, please? Thanks.(the photo of the edge is too blurry, I think it was to...
I hear ya...
I think it may have sat at the bottom of the spittoon too long!
Nice coins, Mark. Cool die cracks on the reverse of your '99, and I like the patina on the '98.
I bought this when I started collecting a couple of years ago, and didn't even take it out of the stapled flip until recently to image it! It's...
I agree completely- just a fantastic coin design. I take my photos with a used Micro-Nikkor on my wife's D40 set on manual, with a copy stand....
Come to think of it, you may be right! I think Pretty Boy had his fingerprints removed-- or was that Dillinger?
I'd recognize that left-hand whorl and ridge pattern anywhere: Pretty Boy Floyd!! Somebody call Purvis, tell him to bring his gat.
Hi Mike, welcome to the forums, enjoy!
I'm not even sure we can do anything then, either- eBay doesn't show the price paid or the item id in the feedback, since this guy is doing the...
Wow! somebody got an 1876-CC for just 125.01! Oh- forgot- it's a fake. Looking at the bids, it really does not look to me like shilling, either.
I just imaged this one for the first time today, the mark in the right obv. field is not as obtrusive as in the photo, but I still like this one:...
Some nice ones you have there, Kanga- I think yours is the first '38-d posted, and that is one fine example! Another thing I like about this...
