Nice design, yes, though generally matte finish doesn't do a whole lot for me. Nice low mintage, though I imagine demand is also pretty low?
I've encountered dozens in bulk lots, but nothing I've added to my primary collection.
Yeah, the ones I found in that uncleaned lot were the "bee and stag" type.
Not unless it finds a buyer. If, as you say, there's a chance that it could grade out professionally at less than 55, it doesn't sound like much...
Not quite as ancient (I don't have any of the little "bee" bronzes anymore), but following along with the "Ephesus" theme... [IMG] [MEDIA]
Neat. I once got several of them in an uncleaned bronze lot.
PCGS didn't use the same kind of plastic back in 1857, so those older holders tend to look rather scruffy. ;)
Here's another one. Hey, @SensibleSal66 - this one wouldn't break the bank! I paid 12 bucks for it. It's hard to see in the photos, but the...
Sorry, we got off track. It’s 1804 or Draped Bust half cent, to the next person who wants to post.
As of three years ago, I don’t have a mortgage anymore, which does admittedly help the coin budget somewhat. Our home is not terribly impressive...
Not exactly cheap, but not one of my most expensive, either. I’m into that one for $550. It’s an upgrade to the PCGS VF20 I used to own (which...
What other thing? The tongue-like protrusion you seem to be referring to is what gives that "Spiked Chin" variety its name. I believe it was...

Or one with Good Queen Bess on it… [ATTACH]
Now that is neat. Here’s another altered 2c piece I used to own. [ATTACH]
Indeed, but I still consider that worth at least 5-10 cents as a bulk World coin. Its face value/foreign exchange value may be nonexistent now,...
So just give ‘em a different denomination with Lincoln on there.
Oh, yes. That’s a classic CircCam, all right.
Where’d you find yours? That to me is an equally interesting story, even if you didn’t find thousands of them like the shipwreck salvors did.
Ten out of twelve completed is past the “fledgling” stage, now. That birdie is flapping its wings and taking flight! ;)
