One of my favorites, for sure! [ATTACH]
Seeking opinions on what the likely history of this coin is? It's certified AU58 PCGS. Dipped and re toned? original surfaces? Something in...
Surprising in a way, but the Philly 1840 quarter-eagle is supposedly scarce in any grade - PCGS estimates 80 pieces surviving (R 8.2 "extremely...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Oh, goody. I can finally play. Would any type I double eagle now be relevant?
The problem for me is that they are so expensive that even if I tried I would wind up with many low grade examples and that's just not so much...

Just got this - gorgeous in hand, even better than pic. Love them with light circulation and original surfaces [ATTACH]
Ok, half dollar[ATTACH]
Based on the wear level on my own 1809 graded xf45 by PCGS and wCAC, I think you might be at xf40 on the 1810 and vf30 or 35 on the 1832. Can't...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Looked for quite a while for one with even toning!
Oh, FWIW - I made a small error in the original post. Neither of these coins has CAC certification. The one on top is an XF40 and bottom a VF30....
Herbscoinshop - Ebay. I like it - what I believe was a very fair price to begin with and he negotiated a bit! I especially like the quality of...
