I pulled this 1893-P Indian head penny out of a roll at work with 49 post 1960 Lincolns. This is my first Indian head penny that I have pulled from circulation. The reverse is especially nice.

 

I just bought these from Laura over at Legend. I only buy from her and my own pickings from Heritage. Unfortunately sometimes this costs me extra as she was bidding on another coin that I was this auction, when in the end it would have been best to let her know I was bidding on it, or to have her bid on it for me. Oh well!

Anyhow the half dimes are pretty sweet. The '35 is ex: newman/green, kind of a cool pedigree!

 

Traz Wow Nice Half Dimes!!!!

 

Now your talking my language LOVE IT!!! Just haven't been able to afford it yet!

 

One of them places I've never been and always wanted to go probably been more fun in my younger wilder days tho even tho I've calmed down a bit I'm still pretty crazy just not as likely to get arrested

 

Thanks man. Check out my type set and my nickels (if you like those...).

 

Picked this one up for a very fair price. It's in an MS62BN PCGS holder. I'm excited because I've been looking for one of these for a long time.

 

Very Nice Red!!!

The price was right...

 

1892 Barber Dime (PCGS MS64)

 

Stunning coin!...But I hate to break it to ya...those pastel colors are too beautiful to be NT...so they must be AT. Being the kind forum member I am, I'll let you send it to me (I'll even pay the shipping costs for you) so that you can avoid the disgrace of having an AT coin in your collection.

 

That does not look like a gold bean

 

The CAC on the gold stickers will appear yellow and the CAC on the green stickers will appear green or blue depending on the angle of the camera in photographs and if you have any doubt just look up the number on the CAC website.

 

. 1842-O Small Date, Small Letters Half Dollar, MS62

1842-O 50C Small Date, Small Letters, Reverse of 1839 MS62 PCGS. WB-101, Die Pair 1, R.5. Ex: Dick Osburn Collection. InThe Complete Guide to Liberty Seated Half Dollars, Randy Wiley and Bill Bugert identify three major varieties of 1842-O half dollars. The present coin is an example of the WB-101 variety, characterized by the small date and small letters on the reverse. The mintage of the small date variety is believed to be a minuscule 203,000 pieces.

That tiny mintage is further divided into two sub-varieties, distinguished by the placement of the mintmark. The present example has a low mintmark, centered over the F in HALF, and a die crack between AL. This reverse die was also used in combination with an obverse from 1841. Die state analysis convinces Wiley and Bugert that this variety of 1842-O half dollar was actually struck before the 1841-O.

As stated in the reference, "WB-101 is extremely scarce in all grades (but especially above XF) and it is one of the key varieties of the entire series." Wiley and Bugert award it an R.8 rating at the Mint State level.

Scattered toning is present on this MS62 example. Among the shades present are blue-green, champagne, and mauve. Adding to the appeal, the strike is sharp. A few scattered marks are present, as expected at this grade level. However, they are not distracting.

This is the sole Mint State example graded by PCGS and NGC has not certified a single example above the AU58 level, making this important piece the finest certified (11/13).(Registry values: N7079) (NGC ID# 24GV, PCGS# 6238)

 

Managed to pick up this 57-O in my local coin club auction. As the auctioneer, I did my best to talk it up, but I ended up being the only bidder. It is a shame I had to take it for such a good price.
