Nice coins everyone! If any of you wanna trade them in for some nice new shiny Kennedy halves, I'd be happy to take 'em off your hands.

 

Love all the pics, everybody. Keep 'em coming!

Noticed the crazy amount of hairlines on the obverse of the O-118a. Cleaned?

 

Damn, are those die cracks on the obv. & rev. of that 2nd 1813? Nice!

 

Crusty:

 

Jason, are you trying to tell us that if someone offered you one of those "streetwalkers" that you would turn it down?

I think this is a neat variety, apparently engraved by someone who either couldn't speel or had too much to drink the night before.

Yes, it is an NGC VG Details, "Improperly Cleaned" and has a bit of a shine to it.
However, for about an AG price, I couldn't let it go.

One of my favorite 1795 varieties.

I'll continue with the 1806's another day.

 

If someone offered to *give* me a nice, original, problem free R-4 or higher in VG-F, sure, I'd take it.

But if someone offered to *sell* me one, yes, I'd turn it down.

 

1832, small letters, I believe.
