I agree that this coin got the star designation because of the uneven cameo from front to back. Great coin & thanks for sharing...Mike
Thanks for all the comments and guesses: [img] Here are my thoughts on the coin (all IMHO): This coin is clearly on the low end of RB,...
It is the same coin, but the seller looks to have photoshopped the obverse image...Mike
Great coins, both of them, but I really the 1809 -- that's a tougher coin than many think. :D Thanks for sharing...Mike
Here's a different set of photos with light more directly reflecting off the fields --- the only thing changed was the lighting. This shot shows...
After a few weeks of inactivity, a few new coins arrived this week. Attached below are pictures of one of them. Please guess the grade that PCGS...
I agree with you. S-135. Here's what Breen says: Obverse 5. Medium evenly spaced date with the corner of 7 touching the drapery. B is...

If you like it, go for it. Ultimately your opinion is the only one that matters....Mike p.s. thanks for the kind words Conder. :)
Using your example, I would choose the AG coin. But more likely, I would save up and get a problem free G or VG...as AG coins don't generally do...
Why, large cents, of course. :D
My first question would be -- what types of coins are you interetsed in and in what price range. That being asked, I will add three dealers to...
Need a slightly larger shot to be sure, but it sure looks like my N-25: [img] To tell if your coin is the same variety, look for a small die...
Great coin, and what a strike! Thanks for sharing...Mike
