I posted earlier that I believed it is a proof and that was based only upon looking at the OP's photos of the coin. I have since looked at it...
I tried cotton gloves for a while and found they made me even more clumsy than my natural dis-talents (love to make up words). After some...
1892: MS-64. Just can't get it to 65 no matter how I squinch my eyes. 1909: MS-63, just too many marks in focal areas on both sides (cheek,...
I agree. I think it's a proof. 600 minted.
These USB cameras usually come with a LED ring light. The Morgan looks like it was shot with that ring light. Mine has a dimmer on it but it...
Thanks everyone for your confirmation of the die marriage. It is a pretty little coin despite the 62 grade. Lots of luster.
@Inspector43 reminded me that I didn't actually address the OP's question. IMO, the chop marked Trade Dollar market is a small niche market where...
Could be flow lines but you usually see those between the stars and rim. Maybe someone who knows more than me (that would be just about everyone)...
Thanks @lordmarcovan. Here's something you probably are expert at, though. Look at the field in front of Liberty's face. Not a clash. Looks...
A seller can make any claim in his marketing that he wants - doesn't make it valid. I would run away from this fast but then I'm not a collector...
Even if genuine, it's not a coin you want and the seller's "attic find" label is a warning. If genuine, it will probably get two doses of details...
66. Very nice coin.
Fascinating. Thanks for sharing.
I just picked up this 1832 and it looks like an LM-4 to me. Obv. 3 and Rev. R. Attributed from Logan-McCloskey. I'm just a bit uncertain with...
No question the reverse strike is mushy but I still see rub in several areas as shown in reverse blow-ups below. Not real obvious but I think...
I am assuming that your Amazon search resulted in USB-type cameras. Do a search on "USB Microscopes" or "USB cameras" in the "Coin Chat" forum....
I'm going with AU-58. There are distinct rubs on the cheek, hair locks, mainsail and main topgallant sail. Toning is OK but I'm seeing muted...
Oh, and you should line up so the rest of us can supply extra kicks. I mean, one of the primary motivations for collecting CB coinage is the...
Dick responded with this comment. "I believe that the reverse damage is the result of a strike-through. A planchet lamination is also a...
Thanks for everybody's thoughts. I have sent images of the coin to Dick Osburn to see if he has an opinion on lamination/strike-through. If he...
