Yes, that is the funny thing. XF on the photo-grade but I did read a Indian head grading pdf that would object to that stating that the XF coins...
OK, that is what I got. VF for both. I listed them as that on Ebay, and the 1907 sold quick. I always think that I had just been picked when...
I am a little confused about the difference between VF and XF cents. Some say that the ribbon on the left side has to be complete where others...
Remind me of a new "unsearched" roll seller who offered me a $1 with free shipping for a dateless flying eagle. We know where it is going, at the...
Is this Ebay live auctions? Isn't there a buyer's fee? No offense but looks like coins you could buy on Ebay all of the time. For a few...
The only thing I trust as far as cleaning coppers is distilled water and Verdi-care. Acetone has been known to discolor coppers and I don't trust...
How about this one? 1835? [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Or this one? 1837? [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I agree mintage and survival rate are only important if they are highly desirable. My 1913 Barber half has a mintage of 188,000. That may be the...
Thanks Conder101, yes it looks like 1811 in hand since the ending 1 is noticeable and think I see the one before it.
You may be right. I wasn't sure, it looked like a one but was thinking the shape was more like a 4. [ATTACH]
Here is the Swiss cheese variety, I think 1834.
If you hold it to the light, you can see the faint outline of a classic head and the back as well.
I only clean when necessary like when people wrap coins in scotch tape. I see no reason to clean any and the one that has verdigris isn't worth...
12 for $24. 3 classic heads one of which is barely seen, 2 draped busts, and 7 matron heads.
It is fun to figure out if there are dates on advertised dateless cull coins. I recently picked up a 12 large cent cull lot with looks like 5...
I'll guess MS61
You can usually tell this just by roll searching and the oldest you found. The oldest coin in change I found was 1913 cent and oldest roll...
On the topic of seeing dates. Can you see the last digit of 7 on this cull flying eagle? [ATTACH]
Funny when I tilted the coin to the light the date is obvious. Most of the 1, part of the 7, a good portion of the 9 and most of the 5 are...
I can actually see the top of the 17 and more of the 9 in the light with my 10x loop, like the seller said.
Separate names with a comma.
