Pretty colors, Rob! The print doesn't bother me at all. Lance. [IMG][IMG]
Sorry...I gave mine away and didn't shoot pix. I never saw the attraction. Lance.
I'm sure there are plenty of no-name, low-grade sets with original surfaces. Probably not so for the finest sets, I'll grant you that. Lance.
Many of these survived in very nice shape. CBH's weren't circulated much. As the largest denomination minted, they were typically bagged and moved...
It's a damaged low VF. Probably VF20. $35 is more than fair, assuming you are happy with the coin. A problem-free, TPG-graded one might cost...
Good for you, Brian! Nice taste. Sometimes circulated VF's are as pretty as they come. I was hoping for XF40. Can you stretch a little? Only...
Damn. That was fast. Yes, it's the single leaf variety. Send me you mailing address and I'll ship it tomorrow. ;) Lance.
Here's a tougher variety, an R3. It's raw and probably wouldn't grade cleanly. Can anyone guess the variety? Lance. [IMG][IMG]
Walk away. If you don't like the toning (and I don't) why spend the money to have it conserved and regraded, not knowing how it may turn out? You...
The strike isn't bad for the typically mushy '21. But it is very baggy, especially the obverse, and likely an AU50-53. It is hard to say if it...
That 1798 is spectacular, Leadfoot! Yum. Here's an 1817 N6, R1 from the Jules Reiver, George Ramont collections. NGC graded. Lance. [IMG][IMG]
Here are a couple of 1819's. The first is an O.107 R4 and the second is an O.113 R1. Any guesses on the grades? Lance. [IMG][IMG] [IMG][IMG]
Not sure it's that far off topic. Point is, $50 may be a very fair price for a well worn pre-1800 cent. Especially if the surface isn't too bad...
It's an S-175, R3. Small 8, type ii hair. The CUD on the reverse is a good diagnostic. Some day all three of these will be replaced. But for now...
Here are a couple of cleanly graded early cents. Not much detail. Would $50 be too much? $500? How about a couple of thousand? Lance. [IMG][IMG]...
It's a tough coin. A problem-free G4 in PCGS plastic would go for around $150. I think I paid a few hundred for this one. And I'm looking for an...
Bingo. Nice call! Lance.
Not as old as some. But older than my grandpa. Lance. [IMG][IMG]
I reshot this today. I'm struck by how nice these circulated mid-grade Barbers can be. I never liked the series but all of a sudden I'm paying...
Mark, I may never own a decent '99 or a Liberty Cap '93. I envy those who have them. Is there a "you suck" button around here? Lance.
