I’m surprised nobody has brought up the QDB (Q. David Bowers) book, American Coin Treasures & Hoards. It’s a great book on the topic, though...
I too thought something along those lines when first seeing this type. It is a bit of a strange looking mountain (does look like it’s in flames)....
Only two bucks more than I paid for my NGC VF30 in the OP, and a lot nicer, I daresay! The strike seems better, and so do the surfaces (though I...
Cool. More Lincoln portraits, I see. You should keep up at this, considering how well your first attempt turned out.
Yes, the CircCam VF25 certainly has a ton of original character. One of a kind- or nearly so. You can see why this was a dilemma for me, despite...

So now it's time for the drawing for Round 9- the Flying Eagle cent. Our lucky number was... 303. [ATTACH] And Post #303 was by... @enamel7!...
I just can’t pick. On this viewing, #7 (the Celtic stater) and #8 (Metapontion) probably resonated the most. But oh, that Baktrian in #9…...
At least the slab will protect it from the salivation, right? ;) One dealer at the FUN show one year let me hold an MS66 Chain cent and an...
However, you did just remind me that I forgot to message @Noah Finney yesterday, after you won Round 8 for him.
Oh... that. Last round. I thought @BurrosCoins was congratulating him on winning this round. Drawing on this round in approximately 45 minutes...
I won't be acquiring it, that's for sure!
Environmental damage, as mentioned, though I personally don't find it unattractive for a circulated War nickel. Gives it a sort of "antique...
That's pretty amazing. (Understatement. Very impressive indeed!) Where did those pieces used in the columns come from? My experience with...
