Totally in agreement

 

And these 5 with my eBay bucks

 

I really liked the ‘43-O gold piece, but it was gone by the time I got there. Enjoy it! If you snooze, you lose.

 

I’m really excited about this 1888 gold eagle.

PCGS has graded 57 others at MS62, 8 at MS63 and one at MS63 plus. That’s it. NGC has 46 others at MS62 at 4 at MS63. That’s it.

This presentation comes via of Mike at ToughCoins!

 

It is really a sweet coin. Going to imagine where it was after minting.

 

But before it came to be...
From report of Director of the Mint dated Jan 27, 1851 to President Milliard Fillmore (accessed via Google Books) "Prior to the discovery of the California mines, The deposit at ... (Philadelphia)... and the New Orleans mint Were almost entirely in foreign coins, which, being already refined, were fit to be passed into ingots for coinage...".

So it is quite likely that this quarter eagle was previously another coin from perhaps Mexico or Europe.

 

That’s why I liked it. A really sharp looker for one that had been in commerce.

 

Just in, NGC VF30, now my earliest H10.

 

What is going on with the E and R , MD hard to tell from image.

 

Well lemme go have a look see.

 

I’m having a hard time seeing clearly through the plastic with the loupe that I have.

 

Can’t see the obverse but I think it’s an 1838 or 39 from DavidKhan I had seen if I’m not mistaken. Nice looking crusty coin

Oh nevermind I just saw your original post. @Nathan401 Yep that’s the one... nice !

 

Good eye! I’ve had her on my watch list for quite awhile. eBay bucks made it happen for me.

 

Sure looks like V-2 to me, bud.

 

That 1858-O Half.......
