The new:

And the old:

Sometimes very worn coins can be spectacular. Here is an example of one IMO. The luster which is hard to capture - where the luster bands rotate under the light along the edges of the obverse and through the whole fields of the reverse. The toning is rich and the images are accurate for the color bands. The wear is consistent with F12 hence the grade.

 

Best, HT

 

 

I want!

Nice Merc and Bust dimes!

jom

Oh...nice one!

Newps from Long Beach and just a bit before that....

Cool colored Modern gold:

Another nice gold...not so Modern:

I'd call this one a Busty too but it's only the little brother...

Another CBQ:

jom

I just got this one in the mail, I think it's pretty...

I think I agree!

jom

Great Barber coins there guys....I especially like Mike's dime. But that quarter is a nice one as well.

jom

Here's only the second Lincoln Cent I've owned (certified that is). Pretty toning but PCGS overgraded it at MS66...big hit on head. Whatever the case I bought it cheap at $25 as I recall.

jom

One of only 2 star graded halves for the date and one of only 65 for the entire Seated Half Dollar series (business strikes)...

 

That's a GREAT coin....congrads!

jom

Very nice Roosey!!!! Love that reverse especially...

jom

Love it! The AU58s are terrific...as usual. And I always did like that 01-O in XF.

jom

Wow....great 1/2 Cent! I'm not big into copper and I think it's a great one. Nice luster...

jom

Even though that's been cleaned and is now retoned I find it quite attractive.

I assume you mean dipped....I agree.

jom

Based solely on the pictures I would have guessed an old cleaning. You have the coin in hand so I'll default to your description. I think it now has excellent eye appeal.

On the cleaning issue I actually took the "CAC" sticker to mean there wasn't any kind of surface issue with the coin. At least not anything severe. I've sent a good number of coins through CAC and Albanese is pretty picky on surfaces so I had a bit more confidence with it since I couldn't view it before hand. It's definitely been dipped but it's got a proof-like look to it...a shiny look to it. It's certainly different that a similarly graded CBQ I got recently with the same kind of secondary toning...that one is more typical of a VF worn coin.

jom

Speaking of reverse colors. Nice one JCat.

BTW, I saw the post of your other PD ATS in the "wow" thread (or whatever it was). That's just an amazing PD...and I'm not a huge fan of PDs.

Even though that's been cleaned and is now retoned I find it quite attractive.

Nice CBQ. Here's my new one: NGC VF25 CAC

jom

Boiler that is one wonderful coin. That is one if my all time favorites and even though the round is rarer had I the money I would own the octagonal myself.

No question about it. I didn't know the round one was rarer but I like the octo much better. Great coin!

jom

Love the last two posts. Nice going!

jom

Looks great for a 21!

jom

Recent purchases. I added the 1832 quarter again since I took my own photo...

The Jackson coin fits the theme nicely, eh? I've always wanted one of those.

jom

I myself had a nice run of $10 Indians at one time. Nice one Martin.

However, I'm liking that Classic $5! What does it grade? Any luster left? Wanna sell?

jom

Nice Flying Eagle!

jom

PCGS VF30 CAC

jom

Nice Washington!

Talk about a good week, I started out with winning a 1957 NGC Proof 69 Roosevelt dime, I wont that on ebay for $22.50. So I see another one selling on ebay and I was like no way I could get another one for another good price, but yes I did. I got this one for $34.50. Both coins are worth over $90+

 

 

No offense, but maybe the fact that you got both coins for ~ $30 indicates that they're not really worth $90.

Probably, but the new owner should walk the floor of a show to see what he could get or put them up on eBay again to see what happens. I think he'd probably just get the $30 but who knows?
