PCGS dinged it for a significant, toned over obverse scratch near Liberty's leg. I like the coin for its look and color, but aside from the...
A new circ cameo. PCGS VF25 [ATTACH]
A scarce 1840-O WB-6. I had to have it. [ATTACH]
My white whale has become an 1839 No Drapery half dollar in F-VF. This date has haunted me for almost two decades now. I passed on them when...
There are several 1852-Os being auctioned by Heritage in December. Several of the rarer S-mint coins and other rare dates are represented by...
A nice upgrade from my AG3. I couldn't resist this coin and am delighted to win it. Now I have to sell the other two to afford this one. PCGS...
Well, I was initially interested in purchasing raw coins that I felt would straight grade to fill Dansco albums. I've had about 110 raw coins...
The 1858-S and 1853-O likely had PVC as both show corrosion. I don't see PVC on the Texas. What do you see on the Texas that makes you think that?
Here are the remaining four that straight graded, aside from those shown already (53-O, 56-O, 59-S, 66-S, 72-S, 77, 78) 1839 drapery VG10...
Out of 20 coins submitted, 11 graded (though one is that VF30 59-S that graded VG10), 9 failed to grade. Now this submission included a bunch of...
And I just purchased its step-sister, the WB-40 "Weird F." The obverse die has the date slightly further to the right than that of the WB-6. Both...
I finally filled the 1875-S slot in my collection. Instead of an XF-AU coin, I purchased a VG8 WB-19. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
However, they also let some sketchy coins slip through, IMO. They tend to endorse crusty, original-looking coins even if the coin's surfaces show...
Yup. It was somewhat startling to see a heraldic eagle staring back at me, I grabbed it immediately. The date is obvious from the reverse. Look...
I received grades and photos of some raw coins submitted to CACG today. XF45 [ATTACH] XF40 [ATTACH] VF30 [ATTACH] FR2 - one of my favorite...
I forgot this coin. 1857 XF45 (raw) [ATTACH] I could not find any graded examples, so I started looking at raw coins on eBay.
Here's another SLH I picked up today. 1863 XF45 (raw) [ATTACH]
And that was my thinking when I saw that reverse 37 years ago. How often does one get a nice heraldic eagle reverse on a dime for $2?
It is a dime. One can figure out the exact year by the reverse. Can you figure out what it is?
$2 - in DC Beltway coin show junk box. [ATTACH]
