So I guess after the divorce I'll have lots of coins...maybe not.... so I picked these two 1875 Indian head cents tonight. Each under $50 any quess's why?
Looks to me like one has been cleaned at one point, and the other has environmental damage. Just my humble opinion
Snow-3? The numeral 1 seems to tilt forward more than the regular strike. They have a bit of corrosion but I think they're honestly worn cents, I don't mind the look. I don't know too much about IHC varieties, the only one I've found was an 1884 RPD.
Got this for only $1 at a local coin show. Also, I'm happy with this pic I took, since I shot it with my Iphone
Paddy, it feels like we are the only ones keeping this thread alive... does anyone else have any new goodies under $50?
Yes I missed 1 major pup that would of proven these to be the dot cent . They are being returned...at times its hard to see or read the photos posted...and Ive noticed a lot of photos are enhanced color or otherwise. This is why I buy from dealers who takes returns. Some days you win some you dont.... but you got to try if not youll never know
Its mid week however its Spring and local shows should be opening on the weekends. Hopefully come Monday...more to see.
Yep, our first show's coming up Saturday. Not sure if I'll be buying anything, but I'll post here if I get something worthwhile.
Whitman opens this month in Baltimore, I may go...I perfer small local shows where I have a relationship with the dealer. The large shows can be fun but over whelming at times. And I like supporting the local dealers. One issue is parking for the show its $20 and that's is in my mind set $10 to much...I am at an equal distance between Baltimore and Annapolis...about 10 miles thats nothing...but I find due to the cost for a table the dealers are pretty firm on price points. So that said between parking and not getting my usual discount Im at a minus $45/50 before I start. I am fortunate enough to have quite a few shows around me. Gettysburg Pa. Is a nice 75 minuite drive...pulls in local as well dealers from central states. We did have 3 local dealers who put on shows 1 had medical issues and stopped. One dealer sets up at a flea market on Sundays...he does quite well and I like the ability to look over his inventory without the crowd. ...and prices are better too. As his over head on a table rental is much less than a show.
I've been on a self imposed spending hiatus . . . . . . actually been trying to sell off quite a bit. Perhaps I could seed this thread a bit? Z
Guess I'll post a recent eBay purchase... Won the auction as an only bidder for 14.5 + 2.77 shipping. SELLERS PHOTOS: and my photos: Coin has much more red on reverse than photo shows, and the obverse has cartwheel mint luster.
