If you all will excuse me I have to visit my other room for a moment

 

They are fine, and I do enjoy them.

 

I'm replacing this that I removed from my Dansco

 

What you have more than one room?
I alway thought we collectors had 1 room, a padded room.

 

Thanks.

 

the pics are fine to me.

 

A couple of WHY WOULD YOU BUY THAT??? For your viewing pleasure. But I paid less than melt, so how could I resist. Besides I think the Mercury dime should grade at least AG3+ and should be resubmitted hehehe!

 

These coin were struck before the time of the modern high pressure presses (the high power steam presses were introduced by the British around 1850-1860 and made their way to most of the countries in the world in the 1870s). It is very common for the early Mexican coins to have flat areas of strike and flan defects that looks like scratches but were on the flan even before the minting process (there was very little quality assurance at that time). Mexico City minted coins are actually very "nice" when compared to Oaxaca minted coins for instance

MEXICO FH
1/2 ESCUDO
1825-1870
1860

 

The slab is why I bought this, paid no premium and wouldn't have paid one if they tried.

 

Yeah, in the 50"s my Grandpa got offered to buy into Mc D's, Gma said,
it's just another Hamburger Joint. not a chance!

 

I might have found a raw 38 d/d, last weeks coin show. xf.

 

Got this for a toned example. I thought it may be artificial toning, but both sides are evenly toned. I've never seen a Morgan like this. This is just about what it looks like in hand. I'd say it's AU.

 

Sounds like my wife, but she's the reason why we're still eating. An opportunity to 'eat more'? Perhaps, but I love living the 'real' life.........

 

I really like that one. AU55 or 58

 

If it was natural, I was thinking of submitting it to PCGS for an Everyman set because of the color.

 

Yeah! It would fit well in my collection Too.

 

Agreed, the present lustre, some dull.
Is there a Star for AU?

 

This would be my first PCGS submission. I recently found my registry set stuff from 2011, lol. I figured now I have a reason to use it.
