Very old crappy pic, but this is the very first coin I ever purchased, in 1971. [ATTACH] Not much later I was spending lawn mowing money on...
It's also scratched on the 1857.
Gosh, that's crazy. I never win anything! I'm sticking with the 1864 2c. Thanks a bunch. PM sent.
Pictures of a computer monitor always suck. Just saying.
I never thought about it before, but I think that's the best depiction of Liberty on a US coin.
"Grandfather's collection" is often used by scammers but that's because it's often a real story. In this case, since the coin looks legit, it...
This specific coin or in general? Blurbs in general can be found here...
Thanks. For something like this I'm too lazy to save it off and zoom in I guess.

I like the blue more. Part of it perhaps is that the background size fits the coin better. The black one has too much empty space and draws my eye...
It seems like there are tons of reputable dealers with online stores to choose from. I have used David Lawrence and L&C Coins in the past.
All recent coin dies are made using single-press hubbing (for quarters since 1997 I believe), so traditional doubled dies no longer occur. But...
Thanks. Perhaps a lesson in recognizing AI - nobody on here said anything about weight or edge reeding, and the ebay listing was poofed a year...
Yikes, so much verdigris in addition to the scratches. I don't see how it could possibly get a sticker but I'm frequently wrong.
Lawnmower or garbage disposal is my guess. You should ask yourself - how could the mint possibly do this to a coin?
Authenticating the 1901-S Barber Quarter http://barbercoins.org/BQ1901S.shtml It appears to be die pair B. ANACS goes to tons of small coin shows...
