That's an interesting coin. Excellent!
Interesting - other 53/2 overdates? Can you suggest some? I'd like to see what they look like. I've tried some primitive overlays myself. It...
I see in Doug Winter's blog that there is controversy over the status of this Type 1 Double Eagle variety - as noted by NGC and PCGS now...
And a better picture of the 1806 half (didn't CAC - maybe because of the dings?) I might try taking it in again - in person: [ATTACH]
Interesting thought - here's a different, more recent pic of the capped bust - to me, the coin looks more original than in the first picture I...
Looking for original surfaces - maybe these two? [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Given how difficult it is to get a CAC sticker on an AU50, maybe AU53 is the new 50? The one I posted here yesterday is a CAC'ed 45.
I don't get the question?
Well, what happened? What did they grade? Here's one I have on approval right now. Wanna guess the grade and explain the toning around Liberty's...
I obtained an 1840 Charlotte half-eagle a while back and it got me doing some research on 1840 coins. Many of the coins minted that year are...
For your perusal and critique. This is one I own. It's graded XF45 PCGS. Nothing terribly special about it, no beautiful toning or anything,...
IMHO it was ugly to start with and still is - although I prefer the look of the dipped version - that said, the before and after dipping pictures...
Excellent photo detective work! Definitely tree stands! And so cool to see them just planted and again when they are grown! Note that if you...
It's X Colonel Green and Eric P Newman. So if it's ever been dipped it would certainly be prior to 1936. Yep I would fight you for it :-). One of...
Ok, I asked for comments for my own edification and I got them! Excellent. Pretty much what I was thinking. So....... how about this one?...
Those are some deep hairlines there. One would wonder how they got there without extending to the devices.
Is the dark toning on the lower one environmental damage - or bordering on it?
I have learned a lot from posting coins for you all to comment on - even wound up with a couple of fresh CAC stickers (which I like) as a result....
I've done exactly what the OP did - So I bought it and re-sold it. I think in my case I bought two of the same coin in the same auction - I just...
Excellent! Is this usually more obvious on silver than gold - or equally applicable? I will add that this specific issue, the 1840-O no drapery...
