This. I use that page to as a resource when teaching the Morgan class at ANA. It would be a pity if it is all lost.
Perhaps the Franklin half would have been replaced with an Ike half in 1970-1 and we'd never have the Ike dollars.
Minted in New Orleans with dies that happened to have been destined for Carson City years earlier, it is considered a New Orleans coin.
A little too crisp, actually. Dirty little secret about 81-S. They are very well struck, but detail is typically not as sharp other mints. Many...
Cool! Be sure to report on it once you've had a chance to play for a while.
The thing is, an 81-O Morgan has a very different look to it than an 81-S Morgan. They were produced differently. Assessing the luster of the...
Mine is graded AU53. I imagine yours would be VF-XF. [IMG]
The funny thing is, when I first saw the obverse picture, I was thinking 81-O or 81-P. The luster wasn't quite flashy enough for a gem 81-S. The...
I'm going to dissent about the grade and say 64. I don't think there's enough "creamy" cheek on this for a 65. There appears to be a lot of...
Yeah, B&H sells a few used ones for roughly $130, but it looks like you can easily beat that on eBay. Make sure you get the one with the...
The Nikon DR-6 right angle viewer looks like a good option for your application. There are others that are less expensive, but get mixed reviews.
Manual focus is the rule for me too, and I don't know of an exception. I don't use the Live View to focus, either. I look through the eyepiece....
Nice stuff! The 58+ quarter is probably worth 64 money because of the "everyman" sets. (Irony much?) The trade dollar is about as tastefully...
I also bought a Henry VI groat recently, and I think in 2018. To narrow down the date a bit, yours appears to be S-1877 (Spink catalog number),...
And the term "plate" referred to a photographic glass plate that was used to print the page rather than a plate of set type. You physically...
From Rick's book regarding the 64 L S11, "This variety seems to be only moderately scarce. A few are known graded as high as MS65RB."
That's what I thought at first, but the ends of the horizontal strokes are split. I need to study it more.
Most purchases for my Prime Number Set are going to be unexpected now, as I just need the right coin to come along at the right price with the...
It's easiest to see on the upper horizontal strokes of the upper Chinese character.
Just got these two for the set. [IMG] This one has a nice doubled die reverse. [IMG]
