It looks strange to me. The toning no doubt AT, but the surfaces are pimply, the eagle is grainy (on the head). On the obverse, a denticle between...
Nice photos, Matt. I like that pastel toning. pretty coin.
Great thread, Matt, keep it up! The worn $3- with the obv. pecks-- I can't say confidently if it's fake or not. The lettering can look rather...
In the photos, it APPEARS to me that the upper photo shows die polish, the lines appear to be raised and on the flat surfaces of the coin. The...
Nice pickups!
Thanks for the report, Kanga. Look forward to the photos!
Thanks for the reports, guys. Glad to hear that BNB's Saint received positive reviews. Sounds like the dealers (at least some of them) are in a...

Beautiful! Just the look I'm seeking for my type set.
... and off eBay, no less. This coin is the epitome of crust, imho. It also is a type1/2, considerably more scarce than the 1/1, at least without...
Nice! I like the way the devices stand out from the dark background. Looks like some nice colors there, too. I like yours better than mine, which...
Hi Eduard, glad you like it. Yes, Jeff Rock runs "Rosa Americana, Ltd" out of San Diego, and sells on eBay as numisma. I've had several pleasant...
