agreed, inquiring minds want to know.
another BHD addict in the making. nice pick ups.
Some of them look okay, but with so many, ya just have to doubt it. Who would do that to an 1878 CC $?
Looks like a copy. Welcome back Twiggs.
wow, neat errors.
most likely: acid bath.
just a thought, but unless that is strange light, could that be a cast base metal copy?
Welcome to the forum. it is a magician's coin, made outside of the mint. no value, just a curosity.
I assume that you meant 1864, not 1884. [I hope.] good luck cherry picking! I've gotten a few of them.
GO TEAM! [Thanks, Phoenix.] Had to get this in before Doug locks it.
rlm: I agree with your story. In fact it has been written about many times, not those two individuals particularly, but many collectors...
right, but they'll raise the price (if the spot price goes up) fast as anything.
nah, they don't give credit unless you are one of the 'in group.' check out the 1909 S Barber Half, inverted MM. no credit given.
I voted for the design of the half, but the Merc has more varieties. Both are great.
Another one from Phoenix. LOL
I can only say: It ain't the time to sell!
All that I can say is: WOW!
Darryl: You sure can dampen a dream! But, you are accurate.
Glad to have you around. Have fun.
and be honest, just say: "It would be extremely rare if this were a Doubled die."
