Ever since childhood, I've wanted to own a chain cent. I've finally been able, through a trade, to acquire one -- albeit a very worn example....
p.s. here's another example of a Bolender 14: http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=428&Lot_No=2221
Marks on a die should show as raised areas, not incuse areas, Toad. Furthermore, if you find one with similar incuse marks, it is a sign of a...
I am sorry to say that I suspect you will be coming out on the short end of the deal. The coin looks like a counterfeit to me. However, I am...
I hope you didn't pay a lot of money for that coin, and wonder why you took the chance in the first place...Mike
I'd guess AU 58 because of apparent high-point rub and luster disturbances, but can understand a low MS grade too. The pics make it hard for me...
p.s. I see no signs of dipping or cleaning. From the photos it looks like a nice, original, thickly skinned Morgan to me. If I were going to buy...
I'd grade it Choice XF 45. I would think the TPGs would likely grade it AU 50 or higher. Nice looking coin, BTW...Mike
I see no reason to believe the coin is anything but real and with post-mint damage.
Nice coin! What the heck does BCBHBC stand for?
Gold down to 919 as I type this: [img]
Another buying opportunity, in my opinion. Dollar cost averaging is your friend. ;) Markets (just about all of them) are very nervous now and...
Very nice coins, Eduard! Not having bought a nice piece of copper for a little while now (although I've got a deal in the works now), I'm living...
I have a feeling if that fattie were resubmitted you would not get a 62 again. Nice coin, and thanks for sharing...Mike
I like the coin. Scans make it tough to judge luster. That said, my guess is NGC graded it 64*.
Given that gold is back under $1k and sliver under $20, I'd say your prediction is hardly accomplished. I also find it curious that in your...
Good luck! It took me almost 3 years to find a nice trade dollar. Longer than that for the seated dollar -- and I'm still looking!...Mike...
Compared to other Lincoln's I would agree. Compared to other 55DDOs (or at least the ones I've seen), the strike seems to me to be very typical...
Did you just use "US Mint" and "quality control" in the same sentence? hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
That looks like an awful nice coin for VF cash. Nice strike too! Probably dipped, but you knew that, and most of them have been. As usual, I'd...
