I think the obverse brings it up some. Based on the reverse, I was bordering on FR-2.
The obverse is corroded, but looks real. The reverse has active corrosion on it. Remove that green death as soon as possible, or the problem...
This is actually a really good thing! It means that you are learning to appreciate eye appeal, and are searching for attractive coins to be proud...
When you have to find space on your first floor to store your coins, because the floor was sagging upstairs. (might be a joke, or an urban...
I like that you included the Pillar dollar. That's a cool addition, although not a US coin. Including the gold is also cool. Obviously, its your...

Collect whatever you like, but.... There are many, many original and problem free early halves available. Personally, I would always rather buy...
Definitely not colonial!
I'm not a Russian coin expert by any means, but once you've seen enough counterfeits a few red flags begin to jump out, no matter the type. On...
