Okay - 1831 bust quarter F-12, couple of gouges - probably worth 80 to 110 in that range. The gouges were not distracting to me, but noticable....
OOPs - here is a link for shield nickels. I think speedy was working on one for jefferson nickels - do not have that link.
Nice coin, but that looks like machine doubling to me from what I can see. In the CPG there are several DDO's listed along with several RPD's....
Looks AU to me and yes it is cleaned. The obverse reminds me of one being polished, not positive with the pictures.
Closed 3. Darn shame about those scratches across the obverse - without those scratches I would probably say VG. And yes I think $10 is an okay...
I am going to say both are 63's by a tpg. I would probably grade them both 62's for the weak strikes and tick marks.
Ping to the top....still waiting to hear from snaz on the canadian halves. :)
(1) Know what you are collecting and be able to identify problem coins. (2) Only buy with clear pictures. That includes PCGS and NGC - see (1)...
Very cool coin Kanga. Love the color on that bustie.
