I agree with the othe posters, that is a very nice coin!
This one just makes it into this thread at 45 euros: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I used to visit often coin shows run by Ernie in Massachusetts. I agree, they were well organized, well attended, and always plenty of interesting...
Closest I'm coming up with is S-200.
Thank you all for your thoughts and comments. It was a good discussion. I will call it VF20 for now, maybe VF25. (I paid VG10 price for this so...
Civil war years are always interesting. Nice coin!
Nice example, thank you for showing it.:)
You really have an impressive collection of H10C's. Another one which is quite interesting is the 1840-O with drapery.
And then you have this PCGS XF40. The reverse seems weakly struck, and the eagle's head shows practically no details. Strike really does seem to...
This is one that I like a lot. The 'with drapery' Philadelphia and New Orleans mint half dimes of 1840 are interesting and quite elusive in higher...

EAC grading is tough! Even at EAC VF25 AveMinus this is a very appealing (and valuable) coin. Interestingly, the previous CQR (19th Ed, 2008)...
10 euros. It has really pretty luster. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Interesting topic. I have often asked myself how the romans pronounced words in latin. How did the roman pronounce words like Cesar, Cicero...
Wow! Do you have an 1846?
I am not a Morgan guy, but that is a beautiful example, jtlee321! Can I ask what camera are you using?
