<p>[QUOTE=&quot;900fine, post: 571238, member: 6036&quot;]<b>1pm Thursday </b>- <b>Auction lot viewing !</b></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This year&#039;s auction has ~500 lots. Last year&#039;s had ~650... 30% more than now. Here is the &quot;big picture&quot; :</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b>Anything dated 1793</b>: forget it. No 1/2c. The only chain 1c is Poor-1. Only the slightest hint of Libbie&#039;s visage, and only 4 links of the chain visible. An atrocious Wreath cent with a major planchet lamination. Looks like the back part of Libbie&#039;s skull was lost to a rocket-propelled grenade.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b>Half cents:</b> Forget it. Very, very few. None interesting.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b>1794 Liberty Cap 1c:</b> A staple of EAC, with more die varieties than any other date. In fact, an entire part of the club specializes in only these ! The &quot;Boys of &#039;94&quot;.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Well, the &quot;Boys of &#039;94&quot; had little to choose from. Only 21 lots. The entire Cap 1c offering had only two to interest me.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b>Draped Bust :</b> A glimmer of sunshine. A few nice ones.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b>Middle Dates: </b>Plenty of nice ones - the meat of the auction.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m throwin&#039; down some bids on some affordable, yet nice, Hard Times tokens.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ricky B - ovah and out !!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
