Nice pickup weasel.
I first thought 1911 - with a hit on the second one.
Congrats.
I think VF details is the way to go. I think EAC grading would net it at F.
Me personally I would put it at F details - just because it looks like some old corrosion that was removed. Over all very nice looking coin. I...
Actually I always turn off live bidding - I don't want to make a mistake. The most I have done is up my maximum before the lot hits the floor.
And don't forget to comparison shop. Sometimes dealers will sell the same quality of coin close to heritage prices or maybe even the same.
Very true - or a 42/1 variety. I just spent this last Friday trying to cherry pick the local dealer. :) I don't think that variety will slip...
I don't think there is a certain age. When I was little from about 6-7 I loved just searching Grandma's pennies for wheat cents. Then when I was...

64 is a nice coin and the 66 is very interesting. I would love to hear CAC's comments on the coin. I personally think it is over graded, but if...
Looks okay to me, but I am not sure it would be worth the grading costs.
Still not sure what this thread is really about - some people like to collect moderns and some like to collect older coins. Nothing wrong with...
Yes - you can bid during the live auction. I have never used bid protection - which from what I read will bid one full increment over your max...
I love heritage, but see the post I quoted. One thing I have noticed on heritage is sometimes it is best to be first bidder. So lets say the...
I think it was a combination of both. People just seemed to jump on those coins. A bunch ended up straight on ebay with even larger premiums for...
Don't blame you better safe than sorry on the shipping. Not a bad profit. Congrats.
Man - the 1909 and 1899 IHC's both look ugly to me. Based off those pictures both would come back "questionable color". Several do look nice -...
Great present.
