Nice set of coins.
On the two dimes(1805 and 1837) what would you net grade the two coins? Also please grade out the quarters - a couple of R4's if I attributed...
Rims and surfaces. When you set a proof next to a business strike you can see how square the rims and dentils are. Plus look at the reflectivity...
Nice even set of coins. I like them.
First let me say it is one nice coin. To me the edges look okay (from 4 or 5 o'clock to 12 or 1 o'clock) in the pictures. Those parts look nice...
Thanks - well I ended last year at a 198. I have only bowled 2 weeks so far and have 2 series lower than ALL last year. OH well! :) The ring is 12...
Congrats on the new coins. Sounds like you both got good deals and are happy. PS - Congrats on the high. Check my new temporary avatar....
Someone else just like me. :) I keep telling everyone at work if the want the price on something to crash, then get me to buy it. :)
Yes - ditto, happy birthday!
Well the only coin I am aware of is the 1933 Saint Gaudens - that the government might come after. Odds are it is not an "unathorized proof". The...
Well it has never take me more than a week to receive items. I wish some ebay sellers could be that slow. :) Never had a problem. It is a...
Well if I had 7.8 million dollars there would be others I would by first. With my luck the government would confiscate my coin. :)
Well - #4 I am not sure I agree with. And on #8 - I would define quality as best quality you can afford. I have some AG large cents I like as...
Well - I voted for the morgan since I like them better and would love to have an 1895, but really none of the above is my answer. I can think of...
Looks weird to me with that fat edge. I probably also will skip on getting one, about the only bullion coins I will get from now on are ASE's.
I agree - but I want to see what pointed you to the recoloring. When I saw the reddish orange coloring(with the wear and just the way it looked)...
I associated the two(weak strike and worn dies) since they seem to be common in this series(but not always), when in reality they are two...
The copper nickel coin is also thicker than the bronze. You can tell by sitting the two side by side.
In 1807 newer dies were put into place late in the year. To me the stars are drawn to the edge because of combination of weak strike and worn...
Good question - who knows. I just remember an article I read in coin world were they mentioned looking for full kernels on the left when looking...
Separate names with a comma.
