Impressive color! MS65?
and then it seems like current Lincoln cents get black spots as soon as air hits them! I agree, it's pretty amazing, and we are lucky to be the...
Officially, it has a mint state grade, but I just studied it closely again under good light, and I'm satisfied that there is no wear. Looking at...
Apologies for the photos. Looking at it in hand, there is good detail where the gown crosses the body. The small central shield and 2 rivets are...
Nice 2 cent piece. I think this is a really interesting design. Don't know what the gray looking material is, but it doesn't seem to be eating...
I bought this a while, back and am interested in your opinion as to grade. It has (to me) lovely golden-rose coloring, and full luster when tilted...
After a very long delay, I have finally gotten around to imaging my lone fugio, perhaps a bit the worse for wear and corrosion, but like all of...

A cameo proof shield nickel is on my "must have list" but for now I will have to make do with images! Wonderful coins there, the 1911 Liberty is...
Nice planchet and color. CRO always has choice examples.
Thanks, Ribbit. Hope you can solve this coin conundrum!
Nice reports, folks! Love that AU-58, kanga, my favorite grade! A very attractive coin.
here is one that sold for a lot more recently:...
Hi Toad, you know I'm not a Morgan guy, but I was going to tentatively suggest that some foreign matter- grease?- may have found its way into...
Thanks for the attribution, Acanthite. You can bet I studied it very carefully when it arrived!(I've had good luck with Manila Gallery, though,...
I think it may be vf, or close to it (star centrils mostly visible). Looks nice and original!
I guess those are from "El Cazador." If you just want one for general interest and the history, I'd say go for it! The ones I've seen for sale...
