Let's see your newest acquisitions!

Well I would have got the images side by side and looked at them. It was nice that Dave's site mentioned the similarities. I saw the crack and was convinced. Otherwise yes I found that getting the 2 images side by side to compare. The last one i missed the D/E relationship but still got a DM i needed.

New coppers

 

These are much better images.

 

That IHC is CLEAN! There's just something about chocolate brown early IHCs...

 

Well you"re going to love this...I send some images up to David in new England asking him ...he was like none know mpd in the neck....however your specimen shows different as yes there is something in the neck.
Ill send it up have him attribute this hopefully it will be a new discovery piece.

 

Found this one in an ANACS slab. 1811 O-112 R4. The pictures aren't the best but the obverse die cracks are there. But if it's the later die state it could be an R5.

 

I like the relative simplicity of the coin. I have a 1912 2-ore that I also like.

 

I give you this 1880-S Morgan, which I consider PL. I want to grade it too, my concerns are bag marks. Would you agree PL ? Thanks.

 

I'd think DMPL. Nice coin.

 

That would be nice. Now, which TPG be more inclined to give a coin a PL or DMPL, I have no idea.

 

My personal choice would be PCGS. Based on their individual webpages NGC has graded 439 at 65 DMPL and places a value of $725. PCGS has graded 632 at 65 DMPL and places a value at $1075. Assume these values are on past sales?

 

I finally found an Elephant I could afford! I think I'll call him Stompy. The Belgian Congo had a large uranium mine which had been closed in 1937 as no one wanted uranium. The mine was re-opened in 1944 and the newly mined uranium was sent to America for some reason So some of the lower denomination coins were minted in Philadelphia - but these .500 larger silver coins were minted in Pretoria, South Africa.
