I lean towards 65, but the tick marks on the face say 64 to me. But going to go with 65 since the pictures always seem to make them look worse....
Nope - don't give up on early copper. Certain years and dates are known for having darker planchets. The mixture was not as perfect as it is...
Yes - for 150 for the 2 you did just fine. And if your curious the 1872 is the bold N - now try to find a weak N. :) Nice additions.
PS - to also assist me I use heritage and find coinzip very useful. It sometimes helps to additional coins from the variety.
Not me the collector - but my brother got a 1892 IHC in change. Needless to say I confiscated it. :) I did get my first proof in my change - a...
Okay - had to go to Heritage. Yep - O-106 R-4 coin. Notice the die line from the right upper corner of the shield. There should be another from...
Sweet Kanga - Looks like a O-106 R-4 beauty of a knobbed 6. Let me do some more checking.
I personally like the "United States Early Half Dollar Die Varieties" by Donald L. Parsley. I have the fourth edition.
Those two are nicer than the one I posted a link 2 that was under a 1000. Rick Snow is known for some very nice and very choice coins - which does...
Thanks - PCGS 65. And there is more detail in the feathers than the pictures show and yes the diamonds(middle 2) are weak, but present. I am...
Well - no expert on MPL's for sure, but I think on a coin like this you just need to be patient. Of course I found this 1913 PR64 on collectors...
I can't tell from the pictures - the small obverse picture shows some remaining luster. Same with the reverse - plus the reverse looks like it...
Newest member of my wee tribe. Just thought I would see what the verticle pictures would look like. And of course they show perfect in the...
Just to save some posts - all three of them are very nice. Nice additions.
Well not an expert, but nothing pops that makes it not genuine. I would call it F details for what looks like a possible harsh cleaning.
I think the solid white NGC slabs are hard to photograph. As RLM mentioned - it seems like when you focus the camera on the coin it is lighter...
Thanks. The space of liberty and stars from the rim was what made me settle on it. I could see the crack through the date, but not the other...
Okay - going to stick with O-109A. Can't see all the cracks but 109 or 109A.
I think an O-109a. Let me go check coin zip.
Very sweet.
