About 5 years ago I acquired my 1st ever small eagle reverse coin. This was a 1797 dollar. From long ago I, also owned 2 Hereldic Eagle reverse...
I'm woefully inexperienced in quarter eagles of this era. It is a pretty coin, I'll go ms-64. I think graders may go a bit tougher on the small...
I think I have one as well as other Platinum group metals. I even have an Iridium coin. Will look for photos.
No I was just making a joke for the OP. I pictured a slightly difference reverse (small eagle of 1796) vs the Hereldic Eagle of 1804-07? which...
'Tales' of Two Quarters... Hopefully it was not like this??? [ATTACH]
Yep, where's the beef? I've only bought on Ebay, never sold. The last thing I bought was a factory refurbished late model laptop computer for my...
Don't feel bad. That's an extremely clean 63. Also not a bad date. When gold was cheap I looked a lot at Lib golds at Heritage & GC and don't...
I'm going ms 63. Hard to tell the surfaces from your photo. Also usually 63's and even many 64's have some major digs somewhere these days.
On the 1799 Bust dollar, I believe those lines in the hair obv., are adjustment marks and not after striking scratches.
That's very interesting about the 1840 reverse of 38 half dollar. I should look into that article. Sometime around 1978 or 79 I bought a group...
What a very nice set & idea! A good friend of mine whom I've known for many years does the same thing but with slightly later sets. He also...
Actually I was just looking a some PCGS Brazilian gold up for auction. Coins were in slabs grading MS-63 and MS-62. After looking at the...
Coin dealers are strange creatures. They seem bent on ridiculing and being rude to their clientele. Maybe collectors also have a self...
Yeah, I don't have one and have wanted one for years. Looking at Heritage, they've sold ~205 1803's (or maybe it was Bust/ Hereldic Eagles) in VF...
Sorry for the late reply. Actually no I didn't look at any other places. My understanding is the Omega sign can be so small and the imagination...
The post says a 1909-P $10 Indian. It shows a picture of a 1909 $10 Indian without any mintmark. As you pointed out they also didn't make a...
Well the weight of 57.42 grams is consistant with a double taler as talers of the 1650's often were in the 28 gram range. Some cities and regions...
Very nice crown of Charles I. It appears somewhat crudely made as is typical of his larger silver coins. Have you any ability to find/research...
Actually I just posted about EBay not being a good source for "better coins". Someone replied to me showing a beautiful 1803 Bust dollar they...
That is a nice Bust dollar. It's also at the very top of VF grades. I had to go thru at least 20 of them in VF35 before seeing something that...
