What I don't get is why, say, an R6 or 7 coin comes back straight graded almost always while an R1 of the same series does not. It would seem as...
Just out of curiosity, did you cross reference that 1806? There is no way that would grade fine based on the definition spelled out. I think that...
I like it. Why? Because you don't find this date that often and you found it in a roll. Congrats! A nice addition to the Whitman.
ryang, agree on the AU58 reasoning you mention. However, with the amount of mint luster remaining I would be surprised if it comes back less than...
I have yet to be taxed on coins or bullion in PA. Other things, like books and Air-tites and dime/quarter savers, yes.
It was most likely caused by another quarter resting on top of it undisturbed as it toned. Perhaps transferring over from that coin.
Two very nice examples. Yes, at the least the Barber has been cleaned as evident from the fine marks in the background. Yet with the overall...
By far my favorite in the modern post-Franklin coinage. I think that the Ike's are appreciating in both collector appeal and value associated with it.
I have been collecting steadily since 1974 and not once in that time thought of selling out. My personal thoughts on the subject? Ask yourself why...
I've always viewed them as too European looking with that rim choice. None the less, an under appreciated series by most. For the moment, I have...
Right, right. You're bloody well right..... Good grief. Now that song's in my head.
Those big chunks of plastic serve no purpose other than authentication. I'd crack out an 1895s Morgan in high mint state if I ever get the funds...
Overall, not a bad example despite the stains. As already mentioned I would be in for AU money and no higher.
While I do like and collect them, I wonder how long before these get cancelled? Even though there is a rather sizable following of the series,...
Agree with physics-fan. It went unsold because it is way over priced. On the subject, striking high relief coins shortens the life of the dies...
Very nice. This is how I prefer early copper, light/medium brown rather than dark and often barely readable.
I have been buying on EBAY for many years. What strikes me as strange is one particular seller who continually lists the same coins over long...
A theory I've had for a time as I've seen others with similar anomalies, is that in the early years of the mint precious metals were often in low...
The wing detail on the obverse should warrant an EF-45. No chance at a bean for those wondering.
Interesting. Thanks or sharing.
