Neat find! It's fun when you can pick these scarcities up for no premium.
I'd say xf-45, eagle's body is rounded with good feather details, bust has good hair details but some flatness of cheek and high areas of hair. It...
very informative, Mike. I have sometimes wondered how a number of 'identical' coins on TT being bid on (like Washington quarters) will have...
Well, it is a type II (stars below eagle) so it was made in 1917 or later. With the date completely gone, I would guess it was made between 1917...
Great demonstration and explanation by Lehigh, anyone who buys coins on the internet should read this thread!
Well, I think "ugly" is in the eye of the beholder, Lehigh. I believe you were stating your preference for a particular appearance, although I...
Hello Eduard, another VERY nice coin you have there, I never tire of looking at your collection! I am not a copperologist, so will await opinions...

Nice details on those! A great set and a cool denomination.
I sympathize with all who are stuck at work. I will try to go next year (and learn more about Cu coins in the meantime).

Nice luster, but there seem to be a lot of obverse marks- I'm thinking MS-62.
Me neither. I wonder if Toad will go, that's not so far from Arkansas, is it?
Nice coin with a lot of detail!
On the last (largest) photo I posted, you can see a little black dot where the ear hole should be. Actually, it IS the ear hole. Here is how PCGS...
thanks for the attribution, Toad! I have to say the fugios are sort of addictive, but I am going to soldier on and try to finish my dinky...
Thanks for all the replies and opinions. here is another pic of the obv, lit differently to try to show more detail (maybe I can convince Ruben it...
