New Pickup from Northern Nevada Coin

See I can’t even tell any difference between the F-12 and F-15.

They just look like two equally circulated and worn examples of the same coin.

The hair looks equally worn.
The lettering looks equally worn.
The details look equally worn.

The only real difference I can see is that Liberty’s cleavage is more detailed in the F-15 but that’s about it.

Neither looks better than the other.

But if both were raw and I was picking one for myself I would absolutely not know which one was better than the other.

Yes sir

 

Hmmmm seems like a good reason for TPG's

 

Hard to say with that much wear, what’s clear is that mine was weakly struck from the get-go, whereas yours still shows the design details on the reverse, so it’s at least a solid strike by comparison.

As far as CAC, I think your coin stands on its own with or without it. Doesn’t add much additional value for that particular date/grade.

More importantly it appears to be a nice early dollar without any big distractions that hasn’t been damaged or scrubbed to death which matters much more than a sticker here.

 

Did I mention it's a nice coin!

 

Very wholesome coin. They don't all come looking like this.

 

Thanks .

They had two for sale but the other one was XF 40 and was like $6K and I couldn’t afford that. Lol!

 

How much was yours like $1500? Just curious i really want one I think for the future all I'm going to get is a straight grade 4.

 

It was originally priced at $1540.

But I paid cash so I got it for $1460 + tax.

The shop itself paid $1400 when they bought it from a customer so they only made $60 profit on it. Good deal imo.

 

Yup! You sure did!

 

Great looking coin, I really like them in F with original surfaces like that.

 

Thanks .

It’s funny you mention that because when I got it the first thing I looked at were the details still visible.

The only real missing details I don’t see are the word “Pluribus” on the reverse where it says “E Pluribus Unum”.

Aside from that it’s only the finer details missing but the basic details are still there. Like the hair is worn.

 

Gam3r, if you are interested in a little more about your coin, it is an example of the Bolander-9, Bowers-Borckardt-166 die marriage (number designation based on
The United States early silver dollars from 1794 to 1803 M.H. Bolander and Silver Dollars and Trade Dollars of the United States: A Complete Encyclopedia, Volume One, 1794-1885. David Bowers/Mark Borckardt).

As for the missing letters in PLURIBUS it is quite likely that they were never there in the first place as a weakness here is a hallmark of this die variety.

Nice coin.

 

I searched for this one for a while. I wanted one with a decent reverse which is sometimes a way that coins of similar grades differ. That is particularly true of the 1799 dollar. Probably in part because of strike. This one is VF35 and it does have a CAC sticker.

 

super nice coin ty Reverse is super tight!!!!

 

@Gam3rBlake that is very nice dollar with quite clean fields, original surfaces, great eye appeal. The reverse is stronger than you would normally expect for this coin at F-12. You did well especially at that price.

 

Thanks!

I’m glad to hear I picked a good coin since I don’t have very much experience in Draped Bust Dollars as I never thought I would own one. Lol.


Right now though this is the highlight of my coin collection.
