Between the two of those, I'd get the 1851. The details look a bit sharper, and the 1848 seems to have a few rim dings. Fish
That's also some sort of fantasy piece. The obverse (your second picture) is based off an indian-head cent. The reverse... that looks mostly...
Yeah, I know it's not a half cent. I just think the design is striking and fairly well-executed, plus I'm a curious SOB that can't help but...
Half cents. If you want more specific info, I'm a big fan of the many, many varieties of 1804. One day, I'd like to have one of each. As it is...
Yarm, that's an absolutely beautiful piece. Roughly what would something like that run if I wanted to add one to my collection? Fish
I'd go with rarity... However, conditional rarity is a nice thing itself as well. Given a choice between an 1804 half cent, low 4 00 touching in...
Actually, I guarantee if the mint were to issue new coins with previous designs the public would eat them up, likely more so if they were...
I'm not saying I think $3 is an unreasonable expenditure. I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with buying a copy for $3. What I'm trying...
(edited to fix spacing, Pocket IE doesn't like the editor) I am somewhat familiar with half-cents already, considerably more than the average...
Yeah, but since I'm only looking for a very, very limited subset of the full bluesheet, I'm trying to avoid shelling out the $3. Fish
Since I can't come anywhere near justifying a subscription to the grey/bluesheets, I was wondering if I could trouble someone here that does have...
I'm not sold on either of those being fakes as of yet. The color, to me, looks totally within the realm of acceptable hues. That is especially...
First, welcome to CoinTalk. Capslock is to your left. In general, if you're looking for information about a specific topic, you'd be best served...
Stack's is a HUGE auction house. I'd strongly advise you to pick up a copy of The Coin Collector's Survival Manual and read, at the absolute...
Call me crazy, but there does appear to be some light circulation wear on the reverse. A weak strike it certainly is, but it appears also to be...
You actually get your Coin World?! Mine show up when they damn well please, and sometimes not at all. My absolute favorite though is when I get...
From what I can see, that coin's almost certainly uncirculated, so I concur with the rest of the group. Putting a number to it is beyond me,...
To the best of my knowledge, no US coin has an incuse date (what you're describing). However, some of the books have pictures that give that...
There's a phone number on the ad. I called them up, gave them the offer code that's on the page, and got the two ASEs. This would have been...
My wife recently decided to pick up Jefferson nickel collecting. I went out and bought her a nice Dansco album for 'em, and she's happily humming...
