First collect what you like and enjoy. At $100 a month you can do a lot of different sets, but take your time - don't expect to get them all at...
Sorry about you luck Marshall. I think it was a scam to start with.
I was just getting ready to post that I thought you were correct on the S36 when I noticed a second page of replies. I can't see the date either....
Very nice coin. Love that bisecting die crack on the obverse. Beauty for sure.
Snap-1 has the two berries I see under the A and Snap 2 shows how the wreath ends when extended point to what I think are the S-65. But who knows...
Then I guess it is a good thing he did not buy it for your collection. :) Take some time and look. There are details hiding but they are there....
Enjoy you new purchases and keep on trucking on the large cent collection.
Yes, but I sold all my moderns a few years back(of course a year or so before the big jump). Does not mean I do not like them. I had a lot of...
Well played with it for a while, but I can't tell. I am sure marshall or conder can tell - me I think it is a 1798, but can't see it good enough...
Can you post a link to the auction? Marshall or conder can probably tell if it was a 1798 or 1799. If it was a 1799 you should have bid a lot...
Don't know about others, but I appreciate your participation.
I agree and I think some that he has posted are much nicer than the original coins. Especially if he gets some bidders like this past auction.
Various graded and none of them were expensive. The most was $20. You can some really nice coins in this series for cheap. I do really like the...
Not always. A couple of mine came unassembled. :) Actually ended up returning one or two of them for new coins. In general you are correct - I...
Yep - sounds easy, but I don't think it is. Not that it can't be done, but I think it will take more work than just trying to find one already graded.
Great report as always.
And some good pictures you could use. :)
Nice coin. Looks like an O-102.
The 28 does kind of look cleaned. The original coin I see on the obverse, but almost looks like carbon spots on it. The original coin looks very...
Lance yes - coin no. And just like lance no juice(or spots) when it was competing for the grade, but now it is showing its true colors. :):)
