Okay - 1831 bust quarter F-12, couple of gouges - probably worth 80 to 110 in that range. The gouges were not distracting to me, but noticable....
OOPs - here is a link for shield nickels. I think speedy was working on one for jefferson nickels - do not have that link.
Nice coin, but that looks like machine doubling to me from what I can see. In the CPG there are several DDO's listed along with several RPD's....
Looks AU to me and yes it is cleaned. The obverse reminds me of one being polished, not positive with the pictures.
Closed 3. Darn shame about those scratches across the obverse - without those scratches I would probably say VG. And yes I think $10 is an okay...
I am going to say both are 63's by a tpg. I would probably grade them both 62's for the weak strikes and tick marks.
Ping to the top....still waiting to hear from snaz on the canadian halves. :)
(1) Know what you are collecting and be able to identify problem coins. (2) Only buy with clear pictures. That includes PCGS and NGC - see (1)...
Very cool coin Kanga. Love the color on that bustie.
According to my grey sheet at the top MS-64 and above are red brown coins. I just assumed(maybe bad on my part) that below MS63 it was brown.
Not up on seated coins - G-4 cleaned maybe $20. 1834 Large Date Small Letters O-105(I think) R-1, F to VF details, scratched somewhere between...
Gopher those prices are probably more realistic for a problem free coin. As eduard stated this is probably a good price for the condition of the...
F-12 details, rim damage and probably cleaned at some point causing the black spots. No idea what it might be worth, but I think between 20 and 40.
LOL - why - because the red book only covers a few varieties. There are hundreds of varieties in bust halves and depending on the variety the...
Nope - with paper money it has stayed in my pocket and the change always comes out of the pocket and ends up in the washer. :)
That looks like a normal 1866 - I personally think their is only one 1866 RPD that brings a premium(1866/1866 - FS 1.0, 1.1 and FS 1.2). See the...
Congrats! How about some pictures.
Good one Krispy. :) But - yes it does could as cleaning. The coins come out shiny, but some of the luster is gone.
Yep - nice coin and I think a 66 also.
Well, my swag - F to VF 20 for the 1834 and F-12. I would say less than 70 for each coin - keep in mind I did not attribute them. The variety...
