I am the same way. I always love it when they show an AG coin - call it high grade. I just figure their definition is just different from mine. :)
I will pass on them, but it was interesting to see what happened.
PS I think you also missed the plain hair cords for the 1839/6 variety. Not sure if it counts. :)
I think you forgot to mention the Petite head and Mature head switch around 1843(can't remember the actual year).
All are beauties!
Looks nicer to me. One of these days I will need to get some.
All of them look nice. The one that worries me the most is the 14-D - I thought the color looked a little off. But you probably know more about...
Very nice coin Kanga. Love your type set.
There are more on the website, but you have to click around to get to them. Not much more than 4 - maybe 10 or so. I wonder what toned the back...
Very true. That is what I have encountered also. What I do find is that in some cases the dealers coin is nicer than is what is being auctioned...
That is what counts the most!
Well most people (not all) on this board have cleaned, preservered, or dipped a coin at one time or another. Just not like the coin Doctors -...
Well - as I said not an expert on these. Then again how many times will you ask before you get it certified. That will end all speculation from...
Not an expert - even though yours is a little porous or corroded it does not seem to have the same sharp strike as the real example you posted....
Certainly an interesting coin. Don't know anything about them, but the face really looks ultra high relief.
So you say no price to cheap for a problem coin - does that apply to this porous coin also -http://www.cointalk.com/forum/t61658/? :mouth:
I think you said it best. I can only see buying pedigree coins if you are willing to pay the premium some of them demand. The only 100% sure way...
I have to disagree from my perspective. "Impulse buying" does not equate to "problems" - all the times. Plus some of us would have to travel far...
Without know the true color of the coin it is hard to say. I also put the details at VF20 and maybe $10 to $15. Just my opinion.
I can't really tell from the pictures. I think I see a lot of little hits. What is going on with the F and forehead?
