Okay - someone can correct me if I am wrong - I thought they were agreeing with your post. And a -1 means they disagree. Of course without...
No problem with any of that. I can perfectly well understand why you don't read everything and why even if you do you do not respond. Sometimes...
LOL - stopped to check the forum at work - this coin looks 67 from work and 66 from home. Which monitor is correct. Looks like a lot more luster...
Nice coin - would have been tougher if you said F-15 and VF20. :) If you had included F-15 I would have probably have to make a tough decision....
I second Marks opinion. I also see what could be a scratch across the cheek into the hair.
Based off the obverse only I would say 64 or 65 - if no breaks in luster. The cheek is very clean, but luster appears around the outer devices on...
Well - those aren't rare either. :) I found one also. As to the original post - I think most dealers most of the time have a S-VDB in stock....
That is why your answer to this question surprised me - you came across just like mbt used to. You are the one that said "most posts" and "most...
It certainly would be real fun. I like to look at everything at shows. :)
Easy to get involved - pick up a book or two on collecting from change and away you go. Well - a red book also. It is a fun hobby and you can do...
Sorry you feel that way maybe you can request Peter to setup a non-dreck forum. It is a pity not everyone can spend 10x the normal cost for a...
Interesting question - several of the ones who responded to me when I first joined are still around. And I consider them experts. Some just don't...
Good Luck!
Yes - if you know what you are doing then you can search for ANACs, ICG or any of the other graders slab and cross them to NGC or PCGS. You might...
While that is true of the image posted, the lighter chocolate colored coins can be found uncleaned and with luster. Some years were just...
Well - I sure some will argue against, but I think more will say it has helped. I collected prior to the internet, but mostly from the mint. I...
Maybe it is the slight discoloration or maybe luster breaks across the cheek. I do not see any wear either in the pictures. Still a nice looking...
I lean towards 65, but the tick marks on the face say 64 to me. But going to go with 65 since the pictures always seem to make them look worse....
Nope - don't give up on early copper. Certain years and dates are known for having darker planchets. The mixture was not as perfect as it is...
Yes - for 150 for the 2 you did just fine. And if your curious the 1872 is the bold N - now try to find a weak N. :) Nice additions.
