  1. I would say this is a 1855 Liberty Seated quarter. The S mintmark looks too small though. This could be a fake or altered coin. The coin is so damaged that I can’t tell if there is or was a motto at one point. I might be wrong on the date. Sorry.
  2. They are just hits most likely from the reeding of another coin hitting it when they were being ejected from the presses and falling into the bins. Could also be some type of post mint damage (PMD).
  3. Given to me by a good friend here on the forum. Thank you very much. These are gorgeous and I greatly appreciate it.
  4. Not the nicest example but I knew I had one of these somewhere.
  5. I learned a ton of stuff doing the research for the descriptions for each coin in my set.
  6. I think that set would be almost impossible to finish and you would need some serious $$$ to do it. I mean, how many of those 2000 Sac mules are out there? Just a crazy set.
  7. I’m not really seeing how this is that much different than the Sheldon scale. Both have 29 “grades” or levels if you exclude the plus and star grades. Seems if you compare both scales they aren’t really different aside from the language used. A grade of 1 is still the equivalent of a PO 1. It wouldn’t surprise me to see plus and star grades with this new scale as well. Maybe I am missing something here.
