You've been owned by a child. With the smart ones, it's whay they do best to uncles and grandparents. :) In return, you have likely planted the...
Unless I miss my guess that's one coin, scanned and photographed. The little dot next to the leaf, near the rim, directly left of the upper serifs...
GDJMSP, you are the man. Here's the coin I posted above. Flat scan: [IMG] Angled scan, slightly adjusted for brightness: [IMG] I...

The QX images being posted far exceed what I can resolve with my scanner, and I scan at 1200dpi. The QX5 is definitely on my Christmas list. :)
Morgan factoid: This is the single-highest pre-1921 mintage (over 21M) in the series. I'd agree with GDJMSP with one caveat. I know from...
The horizontal mark in the cheek is a little subdued in the pic - I think you'd be thinking 63/64-ish if you saw it more clearly.
Speaking of grade opinions (edited)...... ....I have one, but this is my first (I think) MS Barber and I could use some help. [IMG] [IMG]...

Kinda seems like she was too skinny early, and filled out a little as she aged. I'd take the 1836 home to meet daddy. :)
The pics are inconclusive. You'll have to send it to me for further investigation. :) If I can't convince you to do that, I'll just have to say...
PCGS has an interest in the prices of coins remaining high. Of course they're going to overestimate values, as does just about everyone (Greysheet...
And, partly because of us, the poor seller's view count is going way up on that auction. He's probably thinking that all sorts of people are...
The concept of "set" completely escapes my easily-distracted conscuisness. The only set I will ever complete will be Everything, and that's...
I think it's MS....um, wait. This isn't Ebay. Reaches F12 on a stretch, to me. VG10+ Obverse and easy F12 reverse.
I was going to say that. That's a gorgeous coin even in the condition pictured. I suspect, though, that the detail would fade rapidly in circulation.
Beautiful shots, Leadfoot. I'm going to give those Reveals a try - you're getting great color.
If that's the quarter on Ebay, it's over $400 with an hour left. I don't want that coin $400 bad. Edit: That seller has some *nice* coins for sale.
Yeah, but I'm against the availability limit - I succeed in buying almost every_single_coin that meets my strict criteria. In order to do more...
