Nice start on a collection. This is a great relaxing hobby all can enjoy.
Well no time like the present to begin working on your photography skill. Pictures will help a lot - but yes on worn examples it does look filled.
Very true - that is for sure. I can't imagine it going for more than $1000 - I suppose it could, but certainly not from me. Out of all the ones...
Style 1 hair - S-190. Missing the extra curl. I like your coins. :)
I think S-31 since the double lock is obvious and the 1 does not touch the curl(which it does in S-30).
The question is what is it worth - to me it is only worth 100 to 199. The question was not - what would someone pay. Distinct difference. I do...

Not bad - might just need to diffuse the light some. Nice coin!
Your assuming my old eyes could find the seam again. :) The first(and only time) I tried it I richoceted the 2x2 off the wall. I could'a put my...
With my luck I would break the holder and scratch the coin. I will stick with the little pocket knife that I have.
Nice additions - I like them both. On the three cent I might(no expert by a long shot) see just a touch of wear on the hair on the forehead - but...
Another nice coin Kanga.
Did I miss something again? If on a 1895-O Barber dime the 9 was altered from an 8 - then it would have been 1885, which means not only did they...
