I think AU55.
When I saw it last night I thought proof and knowing nickelman's previous post I would have guessed DDO. But I would never have hit the variety...
Nothing wrong with business strikes, but I like proofs better. Now we we get to bust coinage I actually like lower grades like f to VF.
Crap - day late and dollar short. I did not see the second page of posts.
Well allthatjazzjazz on ebay has guaranteed they grade MS, but not the number they put after it. 30 day return priviledge. Great guy(IMO) - one of...
Hobo - did you vote? I don't see a vote for flying eagle cents Easily the Draped Bust Cents.

My condolences...sorry to hear they body-bagged. Looks nice from what I can see.
LOL - I don't know the answer, but I know what you mean. I don't worry about it so much in my proof sets, but I make all the little heads line up...
Agreed better pictures or close ups would help. What I see "IN GOD" is under IN then left sides of "GO". With both "IN" and "WE" weakly struck -...
Yes - that is true. Not sure if it is jealousy on my part or not - since I am not a famous collector.
Next question: On this dime what made me think of worn dies were how fat the legends appeared to be, especially around the reverse. The way it...
Okay I see what you are talking about. Thanks - now to the other thread with my other question.
Question - maybe I do not understand something - if the reverse was weakly struck wouldn't that make the rims shallower? And wouldn't that mean...
Separate names with a comma.
