I will admit: I am searching for a nice (but affordable) late-70s Kawasaki KZ-900 or 1000. And that makes no sense whatsoever. But the heart wants...
I have some thoughts. 1. Any thing is worth exactly what someone will pay for it. This MS68 half dollar is worth $14,076.14. 2. The price guides...
From one geek to my brothers - Live Long and Prosper! lol
The 1-known is a (somewhat recently) found 1830 LM-9.3. Those of us that covet all the capped bust half dimes, remarriages included, are keeping a...
The variety is listed on the holder, and this says that PCGS DOES guarantee the attribution. I think this should be covered - and my personal...
@johnmilton absolutely agree that a full set of 65s would be daunting! I'm pursuing the entire set of capped bust half dimes, and I've set the bar...
@Publius2 when you hinted that this one might be controversial I thought, aha, this might be a case of NGC overgrading a pedigree coin - something...
@CoinCorgi I assume that's pronounced "tree fiddy?" :-)
I was SOOOOO close. But I couldn't wait until tomorrow so I didn't take the poll; I hunted it down instead. I had a pretty good hunch that proved...
@Jerms, I think that's about the nicest Jefferson nickel I've ever seen! Don't blame you for picking that up!
Well, I'll be. I just learned that there's a thing called "shell case" Lincolns. I looked up an article (which said they were minted from 44 thru...
I'm a bust half dime fan and I see a fair amount of holed coins. In fact, there's a unique baby busty - the 1830 LM-9.3 - that has a hole in it....
Hey @robec, that 1832 half dollar is about the nicest AU53 I've seen! Sweet coin.
Thanks for the good words, my friend. I've appreciated sharing info and opinions back and forth with you! And now since you prompted me to...
Well, I had been wondering, "why has @Publius2 been so quiet lately?" But after chatting with him today I figured something out about this forum:...
Happy to attribute your Capped Bust Half Dime (1829 - 1837) for you - just PM me.
I don't see any evidence of any kind of harsh cleaning here, and I think this is a nice example of a 53, with some nice grunge on it. I suspect...
Absolutely agree with these three. Dave Kahn is one of my gurus. Takes the time to know my goals and understand my point of view, educating me in...
@Publius2 I sent you some info directly. You really hit on some of the attraction of the capped bust half dimes. You can dip your toes in, or you...
Like a few others here, I (foolishly) engaged in commerce with the US Mint, having a subscription in the mid 2000's to proof and silver proof sets...
