It is a B-1 R-1 coin. I don't think it is the cherry picker variety simply because I see no evidence of the A to the left of the A in America....
I believe they already do something like that - at least I think it was dansco. It might have been another album maker. The only problem with it...
When I first saw the first picture I wanted to say genuine, but looking at the others it looks like a RB coin. This was a toughie for me.
Yes - I think they screwed up(my first choice) or netted it down because of the cleaning. I personally thought is was anywhere from a 58 to a 62....
Hummm - I did not see his posts. Not sure if it was blindness on my part or what. I have to recheck - but I could have swore you said I would...
Never mind posting occurred while I was looking at coins. I can see AU, but not the cleaned piece in the pictures. And yes I was surprised at...
I take it you know the grade already?
And maybe a couple of books. I use the newcomb and grellmans books for these late dates and they are still not easy to do. In this case it was...
Tough to say - I would say an easy 66. Looks like a nice strike and good luster, but from pictures I can't say 67. It does look like one hit on...
Nice large motto and I will go with N-8 on the 1853.
Nothing wrong with that. I am doing the same thing.
Which 3 dates? Any 70 or 71 at 12.50 will be a low grade problem type coin. I would need better pictures to really tell if it was a bad deal....
Agree with this sentiment. I think you made the right move for your collection.
I don't know Franklins, but still guessed 65. The dark toning and dark pictures make it hard to just the luster on the coin and even the strike....
Nice pictures lance. That certainly is an interesting coin. And lamination is planchet defect when portions of the metal separate because of...
Well if the cards are closer to $60 you probably overspent a little. Of course it really depends on the grades. The question is that if you are...
The finger print made me think wear, but that is not always the case. The finger print is also why I think I saw this coin before.
Seems like I have seen this coin some where - I want to say AU, but I really can not see it good enough to tell.
Boy tough to tell. I do think you are correct with s-170, because it seems on 169 JHF is right foot of t and JHF is right side of T. This looks...
I think 66 or 67. Since I can't see the luster because of the pictures I went with 66.
