I had a CC double eagle with a similar scratch once - came back from NGC with AU details due to the scratch. I didn't know enough at the time to...
Hey, buddy. I don't expect anything, I'm just commenting on what I see. Everything you say is true except the personalizing of whatever it is...
Nice piece :) Such huge variety in strike. This 58 has flattness in the left wing on the lowest feathers as well as the top. But the obverse is...
So all in all, looking at my 35 and the examples of 58's and 55's than have been provided it does seem that strike is of essence. If that is a...

No Motto Saint! Nice! Love those, the Indian Heads too. A throwback. Anyone got the story of how those early 1907's got minted without the...
Many of these collections are really amazing. It's interesting seeing them in groups rather than one at a time, although that is fine too. FWIW I...
Only one missing is the 1840-D quarter eagle! [ATTACH]
Haha - but sometimes..... pretty interesting. Like for example the 1840 (O) half dollar that was minted in New Orleans with a new obverse die...
Funny to read my own posts from 8 years ago. I still like raw coins in the lower value ranges, but in pricier/rarer more valuable pieces I like...
