New Bustie and 2 cent copper

Anybody want to take a shot at the variety on the coin? It should be pretty easy and is a early die state. Scratches and all I had to have this puppy. When I saw the coin I new what it was, this was one of those varieties I never expected to have. I have not seen this variety listed this cheap - I have seen worse listed at twice what I paid. So Mark is a happy camper.

Hey Clembo - what do you think of the 2 cent piece? This is the first one they have had (and yes I always look) that had the look that I like.

And then just a plain old buffalo.

All nice coins Mark!!!!!!!! First thought was the two cent was cleaned, after zooming in not so sure. The 1806 is breathtaking!

 

Isn't that an 1806/9, Breen 4590? Nice find for a sharp-eyed collector!

 

It's a O-101/2/3/4. I don't have pics of any of them so I don't know which. :kewl:

Sweet DBH! :thumb:

Is it in route to me yet?

Yep - not sure of the breen number and O-111 is the overton number.

Toad - you can use coinzip.com for pictures and of course you would see this one now.

 

Aw heck Mark, you posted the answer too soon. I was just getting the book out (LOL).

 

All good stuff ! Congrats !

For those who like busties*, the 50c denomination is the best value. Higher mintage -> more survivors -> lower price.

Are 2c copper ? I thought they were bronze...



* and who doesn't ?

 

I hadn't had my coffee yet. :goofer:

I just noticed the ones I posted are the 1806/5 overdates and the O-111 was at the bottom of the page and I didn't scroll down far enough to see it. :kewl: I saw the word Overdate and didn't see anything else. Maybe I should take my sunglasses off?

I really need to learn not to type before coffee. :goof:

I like em all Mark.

Pics kind of small for my lousy eyesight but looks to me like that 2 Cent has a pretty solid strike.

I have noticed over the years that 1867 had a lot of weakly struck obverses. I still tend to pick them up if I see a good strike (like I need more).

In short. You done good!

 

You are right of course. LOL - I never even thought about it when I did the title of the thread.

 

Did you click on the thumbnails? If not I can attach larger pictures.

 

Yep,

Nothing happened

 

Lets try these:

 

I've always liked two-centers.

When I was a kid, we used to hit a restaurant in Galveston named the Golden Greek. Off the dining room, they had a gift shop. Mostly beach touristy stuff.

But they also had a little case with some coins, and therein a 2c always gazed up at me longingly.

"Take me home !" it said. "Please ?"

 

Mark:
Great bustie!

 

Clembo like!

 

Hey...I bought just because you have posted several nice ones. Glad you like it.

 

Beaware I attribute it incorrect - it is a O-112, they set me straight on coinzip. So while I hate making mistakes like this, it turns out this is a R-4 coin versus R-3.

 

R-4....Congrats:thumb:

 

If it's a O-112 then it's not a 1806/9 (as per CoinFacts)? It sure looks like an overdate to me. :kewl:
