On another thread, HT asked ".. what else do you have squirreled away?" Not much else, but I do have an interesting early half dollar. Here are...
Thanks for the attribution, friends. Another bonus of posting on this forum!
Yeah, I think the eagle and snake thing is pretty neat- very much primitive art! The three centers always create a frenzy when they come up for...
I'd been waiting for an excuse to post photos of mine, but I was too lazy to start a thread, I guess. It's pretty crusty: [IMG] [IMG]
Nice looking Morgan! An instructive o.p., so I will give it a bump.
My only concern would be that the red boxes would emit sulfur compounds unless they are buffered (acid free). I have been putting my coins in the...
More nice copper, Eduard. You have an eye for the ones with good quality planchets.
Nice one. I like that sort of "banded sandstone" toning it has, I think it complements the design very well.
Thanks for sharing this one with us, Eduard, that's a lovely example of the type!
Thanks for the comments, guys. Since I don't have anything brilliant to say about die varieties and whatever, I'll add that 1807 was the last year...
Sorry, I didn't notice that you live in Lebanon. I know, as I am sure you do too, that Lebanon is well known as a source for high-quality...
Lovely coin, who needs MS when you can find an AU like that? Nice pickup!
the 1833 half may be electroplated; too bad, as it started out as a really nice coin! The other two have that almost 200 year old patina and...
I bought this one a while ago, I just liked it for the originality and visible detail, even though it isn't especially rare (301,000+ struck)....
the 1877-cc is very hard to find in all grades. I think the coin posted would be a good deal at around $200, if the rim hits don't bother the...
Looking at some of the photos posted, I am concerned about what appears to be some granularity of the surfaces, especially around and within the...
I'll take a stab: the 1879 looks high AU to me (unless what I perceive as loss of luster is incorrect, in which case about MS62-63) 1879-cc:...
OK, first coin- I agree XF since the luster seems confined to just around the devices- very little wear to be seen. Second coin- AU53-55, again...
I'm really enjoying this report. Look forward to more if you survive your encounter with "da bomb" 1794 LC!
That's a jaw-dropper coin, for sure! Thanks for posting!
