(1) Know what you are collecting and be able to identify problem coins. (2) Only buy with clear pictures. That includes PCGS and NGC - see (1)...
Very cool coin Kanga. Love the color on that bustie.
According to my grey sheet at the top MS-64 and above are red brown coins. I just assumed(maybe bad on my part) that below MS63 it was brown.
Not up on seated coins - G-4 cleaned maybe $20. 1834 Large Date Small Letters O-105(I think) R-1, F to VF details, scratched somewhere between...
Gopher those prices are probably more realistic for a problem free coin. As eduard stated this is probably a good price for the condition of the...
F-12 details, rim damage and probably cleaned at some point causing the black spots. No idea what it might be worth, but I think between 20 and 40.
LOL - why - because the red book only covers a few varieties. There are hundreds of varieties in bust halves and depending on the variety the...
Nope - with paper money it has stayed in my pocket and the change always comes out of the pocket and ends up in the washer. :)
That looks like a normal 1866 - I personally think their is only one 1866 RPD that brings a premium(1866/1866 - FS 1.0, 1.1 and FS 1.2). See the...
Congrats! How about some pictures.
Good one Krispy. :) But - yes it does could as cleaning. The coins come out shiny, but some of the luster is gone.
Yep - nice coin and I think a 66 also.
Well, my swag - F to VF 20 for the 1834 and F-12. I would say less than 70 for each coin - keep in mind I did not attribute them. The variety...
As far as crossover - yep it would crossover into a PCGS slab, but it will be labled Genuine without a grade. Tough to say this coin is very close...
Hmm - I did not catch that. Most 1832's are small letters - only one variety for large letters. Is there a break down of mintages? I thought...
Interesting never user them. The only thing I don't like is they charge return fees for using paypal. I can understand, but not sure I like it.
Yep - would be interested in knowing this.
Welcome to the forum! And yes this forum works. Very nice looking coin. Looks like a really solid coin and planchet. Very nice indeed. I don't...
Nice details on that coin. I would say XF details(corroded then cleaned) net VF. I don't have any books on the baby coppers so I don't know the...
Guilty as charged. Every time I visit the local shop I get to look at the special boxes they keep in the back. There is one that usually has the...
