And probably my favorite foreign coin right now, picked up from a dealer in the UK.
1883 Great Britain Florin (Dubbed Gothic Head)

 

WOW! That is an awesome design!

 

got this for around $50 today, 1938-D PCGS MS-66FB, my first high grade Mercury dime

 

I acquired two ms acadia (D) Rolls from my bank today,Does anyone wish to swap ? For one acadia (P) roll,They are in clear wrap .

 

Got my first Bust half!!!! A 1819 in probaly VG, not much but I like it. And it also looks to be a 1819/8 with large 9

 

Show us!

 

It is pretty awesome, the natural gray toning and old english fonts make this a dark and gritty piece . A little quiz for you Cannyn, can you make out where the date is on there?

 

I double dog dare ya!

 

Sorry but no pictures until Sunday, when I go over to my aunt's house.

 

Shweet. Is it raw? Very clean; I'm curious about the grade. Care to divulge?

 

It is PCGS MS64FH CAC.

 

Got in an eBay B.I.N. listing. The seller had it priced at low VG money - It's a solid F15 in my book. A little slicker than I typically collect, but it's very wholesome and entirely original.

A nice example of an early die state - O.106 R1

One step closer to qualifying for that BHNC membership!

BTW: These are the seller's images.

 

Hey Brian, what's the min. quantity of bust halves needed to join BHNC?

 

Minimum of 100 die marriages not including the die states.

 

I do believe the Roman Numerals state 1883. Between 2:50 and 4:00 on the obverse.

 

Love the New Orleans coins. I favour the Arrows and rays more though. Nice pickups.

 

Got this lil' lady from ebay BIN for the PCGS Price guide of the NON-DMPL MS64. A little baggy but at that price I'll buy it all day
