The dealer and I split the profit on the upgrades from 65RB to 66+RD. Fair enough. Whoever bought it as a 66+RD and upgraded it to 67RD, and later...
Here's a follow-up story to the 1893 IHC above. I bought it on ebay in 2011 as an MS65RB. $465.18. In 2019 I consigned it to a dealer who...
Sentimental reasons for saving it, I guess. Surely not because it was worth something to collectors. Looks more like damage from a fire than from...
I love the look of your coin! Circulated cameo appearance. Nice. The O.105 obverse die was cracking badly around the date. Late die states are...
I struggled with the '34-S too. I wasn't completely happy with this one (MS63). Lance. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I shoot coins for a living. I'll say this: there is no one way it should be done by everyone. Different methods and styles and equipment can work...
Looks like a scratch to me. Metal moves with scratches and raised ridges are common. It also looks to have some doubling. Probably strike/machine...
PCGS. Lance.
I was a little surprised this graded MS63. Lance. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

The earlier bust halves are much more in demand than the later years. Lots of collectors draw the line at 1836, the last year of the screw press...
No worries, SchwaVB57. Easy slip-up because the seated series began the same year the bust half ended. BostonCoins - are you looking for a reeded...
1839 was the last year of the CBH series, not 1838. This one looks genuine but with some surface corrosion. And not nearly worth the dealer's...
sorry...duplicate
Yes. So did PCGS. Lance.
The photos are pretty close to the way the coin looks in hand. It's PCGS MS67. Lance.
Not mine, just photographed for a customer. Lance. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
It looks like it's already in a holder, maybe old ANACS? Or NGC? Nobody likes dark copper spots but at least these aren't too prominent. I think...
I hadn't thought of that. I agree with your comments. While not foolproof it is worth noting. I have the 65RD in my possession (also obv die #2)...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] I'm sure you're right. Here are those 66RD's. (The '14 is only a 65RD.) Lance. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
