Lets see your Cherry Picked coin

This was a nice find.
The 1840-O Half Dimes exist both with and without extra drapery at the elbow of Liberty. This example clearly shows the drapery, and is much scarcer than the variety without the drapery. The seller (and I) both missed that particularity.

Very Nice! I can remember when the 1864 L wasn't a must have to complete the IHC set, now they are pretty popular. Without it you have to live with a empty slot in your Dansco . I think this variety might travel the same path.

 

One more type of 56.

 

Posted last week in the $50 thread. S/ Horizontal S variety.

Is this the one with the MPD? I think I can see it below the 8 in the dentils

 

1877 SLQ S/ Horz. S

 

Two examples of the 1858 'over inverted date' half dime:

 

Yes the 2 I need for my h -10`S collection

 

It's a great variety but nearly impossible to cherry pick.

 

MPD-1847

 

Years ago, you could cherrypick these all the time. It's the Snow-9. Die clash with the 50 cent piece.

 

These are my three favorite cherrypicks:


1939 "Doubled MONTICELLO" Jefferson Nickel
NGC MS66
Cherrypicked off eBay in an old (late 80's) NGC slab for less than $40.






1967 SMS Kennedy Half Quadrupled Die Obverse
NGC MS66 Ultra Cameo
(Cherrypicked in an original SMS set at a local auction.)






1875 Seated Liberty Quarter Misplaced Date
PCGS MS64
(Cherrypicked in an MS64 slab from a coin shop.)
