    Very nice Fletcher. :applause: For some reason I thought you sold or were selling your Fugio's. Good to see I was wrong.

     

    No, you were right ... I did sell them all off. But then I was able to pick this one up @ 60% off last weekend and have now decided to do a colonial type set like MidlifeCrisis for fun. I guess you could say I enjoy the hunt more than the hoarding :)

    I picked up this rare PCGS XF40 19-Z Raised Rims Fugio for a STEAL off of Teletrade last weekend. Interestingly, as numismatic interests ebb and flow, I used to own this exact same coin and had originally paid more than twice the price that I paid for it this time. Who knew there would be Black Friday deals on old copper this year???

    Nice looking New Haven Fugio Fletcher. Looks unc? (thumbs u

     

    Thanks BOILER ... I wanted one of these for a LONG time and I bought it only as a backup in case I got outbid on the Norweb example the next day. I ended up getting stuck in traffic and missed the Norweb auction altogether. However, I think that I got a pretty good deal on this one and John from CRO liked it better than the Norweb example. Accordingly, I think that everything worked out for the best :-)

    Any idea how many of the 1804 quarters are believed to still exist?

     

    My guess would be around 600. However, I have been having a heckuva time finding one that doesn't look like it was worked over by an SOS pad. Even this one isn't as crusty as I like them, but it is the nicest collector grade 1804 that I have seen hit the market in a while ...

    Fletcher,

     

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

     

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

     

     

    Thanks :) I miss those little guys. Right now, I am attempting to put together a complete Quarter type set. Usually, I start at the low end and repeatedly upgrade so that I can learn the nuances of the series and make my mistakes in the shallow end of the pool. However, I just loved this '96 Quarter and it had a CAC sticker ... and regardless of what the naysayer profess, every CAC stickered coin that I have purchased thus far has been stellar. So I jumped on it and have absolutely no buyers remorse. More to come ...

    Looks more like a scan which would explain why the images are so flat and dull. Other than that, what's not to like? Looks like a keeper to me. In fact, I'd be proud to be the owner of that one. (thumbs u

     

    Don't get me wrong ... I love it:) I have a feeling that it will look much better in hand. However, from the picture it looks like there is quite a bit of rub for a 58. I hope that you are right and that the scan is why it looks so flat. We'll see :)
