Did you win that second one? You are right it looks like the same coin. If you won that second one that is a good deal in my opinion.
Yep - do the same thing myself from time to time. :)
I would say VF30 is what it graded.
Very nice coins.
Hello Niel! By chance would you happen to have a camera or a microscope to take picture of yours? I would like to see a close-up of the mint mark.
Let your wife have a go at them again - didn't that work last time?
I will admit if I lived in the UK I might bid on the coin, but not much more than it is now.
The cracks mentioned are part of the diagnostics of the 109. As for the C - it looks like this one on heritage - with the lump inside the C being...

Yeah - seeing an example of what you are talking about makes a difference. Usually you go with the lower grade, but a weak strike would make a...
I understand and I agree. My main point was IHC's don't have to be high grade for me to like them. My second point was - I also have some graded...
LOL - I don't think I have the heart to do that to the un-suspecting consumers. :)
First - nice coin. Second - in the picture I can see all of liberty. I have found some times on lower grade coins using 16x or 10x actually...
