Nice Small Head FH half, Bill! Larry's clashed FEC is very cool. In fact everything on this page is cool!
Probably my 1913 var 1 3 1/2 legged/FS-901 nickel-fewer than 25 known. Concerning the '09-S-VDB cent-they are quite common due to a couple of factors-1.-First year of mintage 2.-They were put away in quantity right from the beginning due to the low mintage.
i have an Mexican 10 centavos coin with a hooked eagle and i cant seem to find its worth because its date is too low its 1936 not 1937 im not sure what thats about :|
my rarest coin is a 10 centavos coin the date is 1936 and its an Aztec calendar on one side the other is a hooked eagle but i cant seem to find its worth i have looked and it only goes back to 1937!
I vowed to not show this coin to anyone until better photos could be taken, even though my rarest coin is a fairly recent purchase I can't keep it secret any longer. Only 900 minted (yes, she is a proof), but the demand/rarity is in the date ;-) I will be restoring the slab to try and get better shots, then off to CAC....or re-holder if the scratch can't be buffed out. My new pride and joy:
This is probably the Rarest coin I own now, 1927-D 3 1/2 Legged FS-016.65 Here is one that I used to own...
I think it's these: 1867 3cs PF58 - mintage 625, R6.4, estimated survival (all grades) 300 1869 3cs XF45 - mintage 4,500, R6.4, estimated survival (all grades) 300 1870 3cs XF45 - mintage 3,000, R6, estimated survival (all grades) 500 1871 3cs XF45 - mintage 3,400, R5.4, estimated survival (all grades) 800
By mintage, I suppose my 1926 Sesquicentennial half dollar (140,592) followed by my 1994 special strike Matte Jefferson nickel (167,703). By value? Not sure, but my VF 1872 Indian cent would be in the running.
Emperor Trajan Denarii with Mars on the reverse. Not the rarest ancient coin, but extremely rare in this condition.
As of now, it is a combination of either of these two coins M. Scaurus denarius, 58 BCE (Scaurus was a bit of a show-off, so this has got to be the most boastful coin in Roman history). M. Junius Silanus denarius, 145 BCE. (Nice Roma and interesting ass' head symbol on obverse)
Not a particularly valuable coin, but my most rare non-error. This die pairing (OH-175L-3a) is R-8 in the latest Fuld guide. Mine is AU-Details (Cleaned), but I won't be picky since there aren't a whole lot to choose from...
