OOPS - Nice coin Freaky. I do like the looks of it.
I never new that either, but nobody corrected me when I did it on that 1882 IHC picture. Of course that was a heritage auction. Then again I...
LOL - I wonder if RLM will let me use that method. :)
I stopped the variety collecting - pretty much. :) I know I have a couple of extra's in my album - 1811/0, 1817 15 stars. I have maybe 120 large...
No matter what you come up with it will not make everyone happy. Everything I have seen posted just brings up more issues or different issues....
Take the cut off the cheek and this would be a perfect coin in my opinion. Granted the rub's are there, but it sure is sweet. Personally I think...
If it was $50 I would already have it. :) It is around $170. I liked the planchet, but could not attribute it with what few details it had. I am...
And probably scared off a couple dozen more(young and old) who were not serious about the hobby. :) Certainly more good than bad. Plus if the...
DOH - Okay - I think I got it now. :) Still I do like some high grade coins that I would not handle and I do have a lower grade set to get my...
Agreed - avoid. As RLM mentioned stick with NGC and PCGS, then with some experience ANACS and ICG.
Same can be said for a lot of us older ones also. :) Nice start to a collection - just take your time learning. And some books will certainly...
Let me check and make sure I can use it in my album. If so next weekend I will return and get it. Sad thing is they had no bust coinage at all.
I see more luster on this coin than the other brown coin in guess the grade(think it was 38) which was a dirty 65. I think they confused the two...
Well - glad you did not win it. I worry about buying from that seller, plus I am not sure that coin is a 66. You can always buy a graded coin and...
Interesting - don't have that book. I can't see enough of either to attribute it. They had a 1794 at the shop yesterday that had a great head and...
Exactly how I feel. Now to the OP - define nice? One site I use already pointed out and Harlan Berk has a raw 63 for $49. VTcoins has several in...
Not sure this one qualified for a bump - and you maybe right that it is just two people bidding on a slab. I think this coin should be called G-4...
I would say XF45, just slightly too much wear for AU. Not sure what a tpg would do. And I will not touch die state since I really do not know...
Actually I am watching that auction. I would put this coin at G-4 to G-6, but I also think the color and solid looks of the planchet drive a...
Not cool at all. Playing is one thing, but fraud is another.
