I think it may have sat at the bottom of the spittoon too long!
Nice coins, Mark. Cool die cracks on the reverse of your '99, and I like the patina on the '98.
I bought this when I started collecting a couple of years ago, and didn't even take it out of the stapled flip until recently to image it! It's...
I agree completely- just a fantastic coin design. I take my photos with a used Micro-Nikkor on my wife's D40 set on manual, with a copy stand....
Come to think of it, you may be right! I think Pretty Boy had his fingerprints removed-- or was that Dillinger?
I'd recognize that left-hand whorl and ridge pattern anywhere: Pretty Boy Floyd!! Somebody call Purvis, tell him to bring his gat.
Hi Mike, welcome to the forums, enjoy!
I'm not even sure we can do anything then, either- eBay doesn't show the price paid or the item id in the feedback, since this guy is doing the...
Wow! somebody got an 1876-CC for just 125.01! Oh- forgot- it's a fake. Looking at the bids, it really does not look to me like shilling, either.

Some nice ones you have there, Kanga- I think yours is the first '38-d posted, and that is one fine example! Another thing I like about this...
Sounds like a good time, unfortunately I can't go! Have fun and find some neat stuff, just be sure to post pics
Thanks for the report, Jack, and for your observations as well, Acanthite.
Dang! I posted the wrong one, although that one is pretty crusty. Here, for your viewing pleasure, I present Countess Chocula (& her feathered...
Those could just as easily be pot metal fakes, you can't tell anything from the photo. O fb seller-- just asking for trouble, imo.
Hi, this isn't my series, but when I enlarge the images with my browser, I see a few marks on Ben's cheek, but the bell looks pretty clean. I'm...
Yes, that Bust Dime is just amazing! Perfect type coin! I bought the 1844 dollar at Bowers and Merena's Baltimore auction in the spring- it's...
I wonder about dark brown coloring too: I have this 1847 dollar in my "short set" and it is a deep, chocolate brown- I overexposed the photos a...
Thanks, so do I. "Circam" toning is one of my favorites! You have one to post?
The Chinese fakes continue to improve, here is one drawing bids right now that is a challenge as the forgers have gotten most of the commonly used...
