Looks like you got a great deal! a VG10, pcgs sold for over $13,000 earlier this year on Heritage. (it was an R-7). These appear very rarely at...
It might have a premium to someone who collects the varieties. How much I don't know, as you won't find any of the tpg's offering to attribute...
Here is Keoj's reply to my query: "This variety was reported ~2-3 years ago in the Gobrecht Journal. Some claim that it is a I-to-II transitional...
Hi Rusty, I haven't studied the eagle's nostrils too closely before. I find that the shape of the beak and the eye are good indicators of...
Everyone is entitled to an opinion. I like the symbolism of the seated designs, even if the trade dollar is a bit stiff. I wish they had used the...
I happen to like the trade dollar design, it's just really hard to find ones that look nice. I have a couple of circulated ones that I enjoy:...
I understand that there are a number of subvarieties of the trade dollar types, but I have not studied them much at all. A member of the CU forum,...
I'll buy a set, unless the design is utterly atrocious. I agree that the 75th anniversary design is hard to beat, toned or not. [IMG] [IMG]
It looks like the real deal, an incredible find. Do you see anything about it that merits conservation? It looks original to me. Most of them have...
Did you see the MS63 Fugio he has?? (insert droolycon here)
Last one to sell on HA went for $4,025. (non-CAC) That was in March. I don't think $4,500 would be out of the question. Numismedia lists an AU58...
I caved. [IMG]
Let us know how it works out. It would be great to see better images when you have it 'in hand.' hope you hit a home run!
Congrats on the sale. This was also an interesting thread, as well.
I didn't notice the obverse rim, either, but I speculate that it may have been in a screw-top bezel or other type of jewelry. If so, it will only...
I agree with xf40, cleaned. The 3 has a little tail coming off of it, I wonder what variety that is?
I think about vf 30. (the reverse may be a little better than that) Pretty!
I agree. I think a split grade is applicable here. The coin probably took a dip sometime, but otherwise appears very original. Another nice one...
From the photos, it looks MS to me. The reverse is a little ticky, but the obverse looks very nice. Assuming I am not missing some slight rub, I...
Looks like you made some good buys, those all look like quality coins to me. Congrats!
