Going in a little different direction for this one.



Sellers images from eBay hope to see it first of the week.:devil:

 

Flea market last weekend, better pics to come.


500th Post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

My most recent pickup ...

1906 Liberty Head $2.50 Gold (PCGS MS64)

The seller thought this spent some time in a leather pouch due to the "unusual and enticing" color. I tried color correcting the seller's photos to get the color of the coin closer to the shades of gold I found in a number of TrueView photos of old mint state American Gold Coins from the early 1900's. I am not sure how close this is to the coin in hand, but will post some of my own photos when I get the coin in a few days. I think the color variation on this looks very interesting - especially some of the subtle coloration on Miss Liberty's hair and neck.

I still have a hard time believing that less that less than 80 years ago you could get a coin like this in change (at face value). Imagine going to a bank back then and getting a 40-coin roll of quarter eagles for $100, then coming home and splling out 40 mint state gold coins on your desk. That little $100 face-value roll would have a fair market value of around $40,000 today (depending on condition). When I finish my time machine, I will take orders for all CoinTalk members.

Arriveed today sellers images were spot on the money on this one very happy with this hallmark of the new set I will be working on in the coming year or so. I hope to do the Silver Commemoratives 50 Piece Type Set, Circulation Strikes (1892-1954) in XF and AU grades. Progress to date seen here. http://www.pcgs.com/SetRegistry/publishedset.aspx?s=96489&ac=1

 

So does that mean you will be releasing your hold on some of your halves?

 

You have to realize that 48 of the coins in the new set are Halves too......:hail:

 

Yeah I know that, I was just hoping you might need to release some coins to obtain them.


:devil:

 

A few types added...

 

Glad to see a legitimate trade dollar on this forum. Haven't seen one since I joined. :thumb:

 

What would be an illegitimate Trade Dollar?

An illegitimate China issue?

 

Wouldn't that be illegitimate?

Thanks.
