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.
Very sweet indeed. I love that obverse. On the reverse I just wish the hint of green was not in the upper left. Still it is a very nice coin....
The first is very true - wish you had more in varying grades. Maybe we should send him some pictures of different coins in different grades. Not...
Luster was nice, but the first picture made it look like almost no details in the hair and around the ear. The new picture I think shows more...
