Some folks like Chevys, some like Fords. Me? No way would I ever choose NGC over PCGS. It's not just because PCGS generally earns a higher price...
Kanga, I don't blame you. "Original" is valued, but sometimes coins are so dark they are just hard to love. And a lot of buyers are turned off. I...
I agree with green18. It depends on the rest of your set. That looks like a nice, original 20c piece. Very many collectors love that look. Lance.
P.S. My first post said they were all PCGS. Sorry. I was wrong. Lance.
Die cracks. The reverse die was carried over from 1809 (it's an 1811/9) and it is pretty well shot. Amazing that there's so much detail in spite...
Mark, you were the only one brave enough to wager guesses. I know I would be lost at this. They are, oddly enough, in grade order by date. 1795...
I'm not a dime man but these took my breath away. Taking their pictures wasn't hard. Grasping their worth, was. Almost half are in the mid...
I guess the dealer is lucky to have them for sale. The owner was less lucky, having died too young, earlier this year. These coins and 45 more...
Twist my arm, will ya, Bruce? Okay...it's a modest VF30. Log Potato, I agree with you! That second 1802 is remarkable. Lance. [IMG][IMG]
No, it's free. Of course the collector has to pay shipping and insurance both ways. Or you can submit at a show and save the "sending" costs. Lance.
I posted this newp earlier in this thread. I also noted a few spots on the reverse that looked to be PVC (or verdigris). I didn't want to treat...
It is because of the weak strike in those high areas that the adjustment marks survived. Most of the time they were obliterated during striking....
These aren't mine. I just got to babysit them a few days and take some pictures for a dealer-friend. They are all PCGS-graded AU. There are two...
I agree. I do this all the time but have never done the expensive show-turnaround. One-day show grading is used mostly by impatient collectors...
You're good, BT! PCGS 64RB. I was doing some housekeeping this morning and ran across two raw woodies in flips. I hadn't given them much thought,...
Indeed! Lance.
I'm going along with this. Merc Crazy is only a little crazy. I'm guessing the scratch was fatal. Sorry...at least it wasn't a "special" Morgan....
Gosh...this thread is so long I can't remember if I posted this already. But it's classic woody. Lance. [IMG][IMG]
I hope I'm not breaking any rules here. It's not my intent. It's on ebay now. My seller ID is kattman-gsxr. Cheers, Lance.
Those are beautiful, Mark! Nice. I don't collect 2c pieces but I have a few. This one is going on ebay tonight. It's been in my possession for a...
