To borrow a term from philatelics, I place most of the modern "errors" in the "flyspeck" numismatics category. Extra fingers on Lincoln. Wavy...
IMO, MS-61 or -62. Numerous bagmarks in the prime focal areas (cheek, in front of the face and behind the head).
I've got a couple slabbed 65's and there's more hand definition on them, but they're certainly not full. That's why I was asking if anyone had a...
They may be bag marks. They're random enough and mostly on the high points or in the field. But too many of them. If the coin has any wear I think...
I suggest resubmitting it (to SGS, of course) asking for the higher grade. ;)
Hey, it's in an SGS holder with small and blurry images. What more could you want? :rolleyes:
Another great colonial (I just got finished looking at the Hibernia in another post.) Enough detail to give a looker a good impression of the coin.
I don't know anything about this coin, but I REALLY enjoyed looking. And at AU-58 it's got to be a great example. I like coins that have good...
I just did a BIN on eBay for a coin that is a bit hard to find. I spent about an hour trying to figure out whether the price was reasonable or not...
Value? I'd say $160-180. What you paid? Probably less. PCI was a legit TPG, but not well respected. I strongly suspect you got a bargain.
I don't have a Bust dollar for my type set. It's one of those 20 or so type coins that are beyond my means.
I just looked at my 1867 (AU-58). The "T" in "CENTS" is fine but the "S" is weak. Fortunately the "WE" is quite strong too. That's the feature...
Here's two that I definitely remember. This one goes all the way around, but in this image it can be seen at 12, 2 to 4, and 9. [IMG] This...
Good point. Postage stamp machines used to give change in dollar coins too. I had forgotten that. But I've never dealt with them. And our public...
Looks like a MS-65 RO to me. (RO = Red Orange) :rolleyes:
I've always bought my state quarters at shows because I wanted an Unc set. So I don't know the problems of trying to collect them out of...
To me "bodybag" is an accepted term by most coin collectors. It has a negative connotation but is no longer a derogatory term to most collectors....
To continue this list and if I read my Red Book correctly: - 1968 thru 1970 there were no Philly halves struck - 1971 thru 1979 the Philly halves...
I can narrow it a bit more. The quarters are Washingtons. Now we're down to 1932 through 1947. And to eliminate further speculation, the year is...
One STRONG recommendation. Remove ALL the rubber bands from the safe deposit box. Coins and rubber bands don't get along together at all. I...
Separate names with a comma.
