Look forward to the report!
That's a very interesting medal, I see on the inscription it was carried through the canal on the first vessel to traverse it. Neat. (On a...
Thanks, C.C. The images from TT aren't as bad as I expected, you can see the dirt and the color, if a bit washed out. I'm never sure about their...
Thanks, Mark, glad you like it. No, I haven't attributed it; I don't own any of the books. I'm just building a date set of them, trying to find...
I can't tell if it's real or fake-- could be either-- but I don't find it attractive at all. I strongly recommend sticking with one graded by a...
here is an 1828 curl base 2 bust half I just received in the mail... 2 of the images are tilted to show the iridescent toning.. head on photos...
Very nice! I like the reddish highlights on the obverse. Appears to be very original. Do you have the TT photos for comparison? Just curious... I...
Listing removed, which I believe means eBay cancelled the sale after it ended. However,same seller also listed a fake 1848 SLD (with the same...
They are often seen in sales of Philippine coins, I think they are interesting and would like to own some. There was a leper colony on one of the...
Sold for 973.63, fleecing completed!
Laura definitely has an eye for quality, and realizes that quality comes at a premium. Your coin is a real show-stopper. I now have a bungie cord...

I'm wondering if some of the marks on the obverse are die clash marks. There are several scarce varieties in which the obverse die was clashed...
Here's another 1875-cc for comparison, hope that helps (different dies, of course, and chopped) [IMG] [IMG]
Hi Ryan, I have some concerns as to this coin's authenticity. There appear to be small raised metal bumps, or pimples, on Liberty's facing leg and...
Well, I have to say, that is about the sweetest 63 I've seen. Mine isn't nearly as attractive (sniff!)
It sure looks like a 65 from the photos, very attractive!
I like it! Nice strike and luster. I don't know these at all, but if you post it on the CU forum half dime experts like "Barndog" and "Realone"...
I've looked at all the photos, and I don't see anything that shouts 'fake!' to me. The obverse looks more worn than the reverse, to me anyway,...
That's a beautiful coin. And, when I saw the price on the Legend site, that clattering noise was my lower jaw rolling under the desk!
