That's why I guessed AU58 FSB. The neck and the field to the right, as well as the right fields on the reverse, have that circulated look. Yet...
My first Barber quarter. NGC AU58. Paid way too much. But I figured I should have an example of the third obverse hub type that I just discovered....
William Bradford (although nobody knows what he really looked like) [ATTACH]
I don't collect them but I got this in change when I was there in 1985. [ATTACH]
I don't own any patterns or have a bucket list, but a 1942 1c experimental done in glass would be cool. [ATTACH]
Great idea! Found this one in the clean-out pit at a recycled newspaper mill. [ATTACH]
Supposedly the "lowest mintage of its type among modern commemoratives", highest number I can find is 21,335 and I'm not sure if it still holds...
Just giving you a hard time, it sounded like a Yogi-ism (Yogi Berra).
From the department of redundancy department. :) What's interesting to me about all this is that up until fairly recently, literally every die was...
Not to beat this into the ground, but here are two coins from one of the 1965 proof sets. This 1p has a criss-crossing pattern of polish lines...
Perhaps it's worth pointing out for others that I don't think it's a blanket truth that die polish lines can't occur on the devices, or continue...
Check out these several hundred 2009 1c listings https://doubleddie.com/92301.html and tell us how valuable they are. You seem fixated on the...

Here is the original list of items placed in the cornerstone. 4th column, starting near the bottom and continuing in 5th column:...
From what I can find, there is only one confirmed photo of Lincoln dead, from a distance when he was lying in state. I see a lot of stories about...
1900-S Reverse 1 transition variety (reverse of 1892-1899, discovery coin) [ATTACH]
Yours with a twist - a 1901-O with Obverse 1, scarce transition variety. (Inner ear, ribbon touching N, and rounded leaves are pick-up points)[ATTACH]
I'm curious if anybody else thinks it's been plated (or maybe that's what "Littleton coin" means?). The surface texture is odd.
Nothing drives me crazy like die polish versus hairlines. Heritage images for these show die polish on almost half of them and they're all...
