Johnny, proof or biz, who cares? There are so few it really doesn't matter. The 1856 FE will always be special. I hear they're not making any...
Holy cow! That is very, very cool. I'll bet that put a dent in your wallet. Congrats!! Why did you go for a proof? Because of availability? Is it...
That's interesting, Conder, and I see it is so. Looking over some 1795's (both 2 and 3 lower leaf varieties) it appears that the left terminal...
What a beautiful design. How sad we can't have coins like these in circulation today. Here's one for the thread. Lance. [IMG][IMG]
It doesn't look badly damaged. Is there repair work at 12k obverse, 6k reverse? Or maybe the setting damage is limited to the edges? What's going...
It's grease, no question. Lance.
This isn' a series I collect (as if I could afford to!) but maybe this will help. Only one die pair was used for 1794. So there are no varieties....
BadThad that '55-S has the look, alright. Gorgeous! I hope you still own it. And those steelies...how cool to have the pair! It's interesting how...
No more grade guesses? No one guessed it yet. Lance.
Acetone is friendly on old copper. Not quite as effective as xylene on old copper. You should be able to get either, in good quality, from a...
Mark, see if you agree on the 1798. Lance. 1st style [IMG] 2nd style [IMG] Op's (rotated for easier comparison) [IMG]
Perfect. I would have guessed that. I'm not crazy about the coins I see on Teletrade generally, but I have always felt the company was very...
The 1837 appears to be a "head of 1838". The scan isn't great and there's a lot of gunk in Liberty's hair but it looks like a beaded cord, not a...
Spectacular! I would have bought it too. The $2.5 Pan Pac is really sweet. Any rub on it? That could be a $5k commem, easily. What a cool set....
I'll look it up in the late morning, if no one else answers you. Marshall and Conder and Mark are the experts at large cents but I think Marshall...
I really love this thing. I don't know why...I guess because it is so full of problems and yet is still very attractive. Look at the mess. I...
Fun story, Charmy. Moments like that...looking through an especially beautiful set, rarely shared, lovingly preserved, and each one almost...
What do you make of this one? It's '93 wreath, vine & bars edge, PCGS G4. Arrived today. I think I will keep her. Lance. [IMG][IMG]
I would buy it. $20 isn't too far from melt value so there's not much risk. Plus, as LindeDad said, it is a pretty cool half. Lance.
I agree. 1798 hairstyle 2. Lance.
