Found this one. 1825 classic head half cent. Which is a lower mintage issue at 63,000. A nice little f15.

 

Nice and very unique, thanks for sharing !

By the way I'm the self slabber, at my age and with the turn around times I may never get to see them.

 

These three arrived Saturday to complete a Franklin proof set.

 

Won this other capped bust half last night I didn't expect to win. After winning the small stars I went to bed and my 99.00 bid on this prevailed at 93.00. Being an r4 die marriage with an r5 prime. This is an all around pretty scarce variety. 1819/8 o103a r4

 

Will get better pics once it arrives .

 

Interesting background from Mr. Bowers in his 2008 Redbook on commemorative Coins. Seems this may have been one of the first modern comm US mint issued that sold out, people couldn't get one, prices went up then eventually came back down. Great design. The proof original cost in pre- order was $35. I picked this up in OGP for $25 on Saturday. Some toning or hazing along the rim fields.

 

Looks like greysheet is around $45 for this in OGP. I think because of the iconic design and what it represnts this could hold value above issue price.

 

Yesterday online purchase 1881 Seated 50C Proof 62 Cameo. I'm not a big "toning" guy but the evenness of this around the edges obverse...lesser on reverse I forgot to save image...but looks and strike are comparable both sides. Total mintage 975.

 

Well here is the 1807 small stars after it was released from its 2x2

 

Finally my white whale...
1858 aRPD-1858 /1858 inverted

 

$8

 

Just started adding these to the hoard. Figured I'd knock out the key and semi-key dates early.

 

1889 O MS 64 Morgan. Better date and grade Morgan. A really nice blast white and lustrous coin. The Reverse is near flawless too. So yay..
