As 1898 happens to be one of my favorite dates - I have a "few" halves...

here's a sampling:

Boiler - No one can ever say you don't have a fantastic set of Flying Eagles.

Nice 1856 & 1858 - very - very nice !!

Rarity of the 1858 - R

fake??

They scream FAKE.

Send them to ANACS for authentication.

The 89-CC's may not be the Real Deal.

Thanks Bob !

Staying with 1898 -

here's the closest thing I have ever found

of the 1898-O Micro O.

Its not designated as such, but, compared

to all the other 1898-O's I have - or - have seen

...From my 1898 Proof Set:

Can we back up a couple of pages, please?

 

Fletcher, when you said "copper" in your 20 cent piece post, did you mean as in J-1412?!

 

BTW, do you guys realize that the 1804 quarter that he posted has a total mintage of less than 7000 pieces?

Bob,

Fletcher's tastes in coins runs to the very esoteric - mintages - type - and high grades.

Yes, anyone who's been involved with coins for any amount of time realizes the rarity [ and the quality ] of all of Fletcher's coins.

Personally, I'd love to sit down with Fletcher and view his collection at great legnth.

Yes Bob ... nice catch

 

 

I caught it too - but thought I'd respond to your question first.

I also love that copper Double Dime. Where did you locate it ?

Fletcher,

What's amazing is "where are YOU finding those fantastic Bust Quarters " !!!

I've always wanted an 1804 quarter - your's sure is nice.

Another new addition in care of my friend BROADSTRUCK, a choice

1909- P Half in a PCGS AU 58 holder.

This is an upgrade for me, and my AU 55 slides into a lower tier set.

My other NGC 58 stays put in my better set.

As far as where I locate them ...oh, here, there and everywhere as they say.

I've found a few more upgrades that are being shipped to me as I type this -

so - when they are in hand - I'll post the images.

Absolutely stunning Half Dimes.

You're formulating one of the Premiere Half Dime collections

in existance. Congratulations !

My modest example of a 1837- Lg Date - in NGC 62

although beautifully toned - is the sole certified example

I have of this very interesting series.

Great looking coins everyone, I especially like that ALA toned commem. Nice find.

Here's an upgrade to my better Half Dollar set:

Here's another nice 1898

[ PCGS 65 ]

Larry - very attractive Large Cent.

Shane - great toners - especially the 1st Franklin you posted.

Here's the newest addition to my Barber Nickel collection:

Its in a PCGS 58 holder.

The MS 65 dime immediately above is in my 1898 Mint Set.

This MS 64 dime is in my Barber Dime collection:

Fletcher,

Its already been said before - but - WOW what a coin !!

Looks like you've given up on those cheap little Barber Dimes...

Following up with 1898 Barbers

Picked this up at a recent Heritage internet auction - Final Session @ Long Beach:

Chris,

Very nice looking collection of Franklins.

I didn't notice it the other night when I posted

my new half. [ I'm trying to limit my on line time ].

Going out of sequence to show off some Tru View images which I just received from

a Regrade Submission at PCGS... three coins got a nice bump-up...
