Nice 1886s! Does the 1886 VAM1-C sell for a premium?
Do cherry picks count? This coin cost me $103. It sold for $512 on GC two weeks ago.[ATTACH] Cost $110. Sold for $335. [ATTACH]
One of my best circ cameos just got stickered. This coin was part of a raw, two-coin lot along with a nice, original 1853 quarter in Fine that...
It's a nice, well-struck coin, but I'm also getting anxious to finish my set and have been throwing money at the problem. I've had a tough time...
Two 1855/54overdates. This WB-2 was my third cherry pick off of eBay ($103) when I started hunting for these 55/54s back in Spring of 2021. It...
That's a good price for that attractive coin. I paid about $200 more for this XF45 coin with a green sticker off of Stacks Bowers. That was about...
Wow! Rutherford is a family name several generations ago amongst my Canadian ancestors in the Maritime Provinces. It may be a distant relative.
Sorry. I wasn't 100% sure what you wrote, and I just wanted to differentiate cleaning lines from planchet lines. I also thought there had to be...
I bought a coin this year that has planchet lines, die lines, and some random hairlines. It's very interesting to look at and differentiate the...
The lines on the devices are not from cleaning. They are perfectly straight and parallel to each other. And why would they diminish in the fields?
These are clearly NOT die lines. Die lines do not weaken in the fields or are strongest on the high points. These lines are on the planchet from...
I believe it's the same DM as this coin, which I have tentatively identified as WB-2. This is another nice, circulated cameo. VF30 [ATTACH]
Planchet lines are not rare but one doesn't see them nearly as often as die polish lines (raised lines that go directly into the devices and...
That's a nice, mark-free Morgan, and the planchet or roller lines are kinda cool looking and a nice discussion starter. Beware of the seller,...
Neither. The coin has planchet lines, probably from rollers in the planchet production process. This is of mint origin and will not prevent your...
Here are my 1877-CCs. PCGS XF45 [ATTACH] PCGS VF30 - color adjusted to better represent coin. This is a really nice coin except for the "rubber...
I collected a small hoard of 1876-CC Lady Libertys raw off eBay on the hunch that they would appreciate over time with the 250th Anniversary of...
I decided to look through the first 180 1877 (P and S) halves on eBay. After 180 coins searched, I found two '77-S WB-38s (R5), a '77-S WB-25...
I agree that the CACG 1853-O and the 1858-S show clear signs of corrosion. The 1858-S looks burnt and I wouldn't be surprised if there were some...
Here's another gem from my collection - a plugged 1855/54 WB-1. I couldn't resist this WB-1 because of its conspicuous overdate, even though it...
