Cool clashes!
I have nothing to say but COOL COINS!
Just what we need....ANOTHER bust half nut.... ;) Seriously, nice coins & congrats...Mike
Please don't take this the wrong way, but I was told the same thing by my local shop -- long before my eye was "good" (and presuming it is good...
With all due respect, that is simply not true. This may come as a surprise, but people have been overpaying for coins long before registry sets...
I'm not generally a "bargain" shopper, but I did purchase this coin from a DLRC Internet-only auction in a mislabeled holder (it was in a 1917-P...
It doesn't take a registry set for people to overpay for coins.
Very nice coin, Catbert! Trade dollars are not easy to find original-looking and circulated.

Personally, I'm holding -- not buying or selling. I may buy some more on a dip.
Please stop misrepresenting record high prices for gold. As myself and others have pointed out, it is painting an innacurate picture because you...
Clash with the shield on the reverse would be my guess.
I have coins that grade 67 (and rightly so, in my opinion) that have carbon spots, so that doesn't bother me necessarily at 65 either. IMO, they...
p.s. for a nice coin, you will likely "overpay". Good coins are rarely cheap. To find a cheap nice draped bust large cent in XF is a rare bird...
Here's one more suggestion. Find a few folks you respect on these forums, and send them pictures/links to coins you are considering. I think you...
