I will post and sell coins on ebay as I see fit.

The only posting rules listed in the initial post are; "Let's say next someone post an image of a 1936 Washington quarter. You would now need to post a pic of the same type coin (a Washington quarter) or anything dated 1936." Currently posted; 1831 Coronet Head cent. (The year is easily visible, imho). 1853 Braided Hair cent. What has been done in the past is that the series was broken to return to the prior series. However, I will continue with the latest posting. If there needs to be any additional rules considered, then I would recommend editing the initial post with those additional rules.

On another side note. I began posting the rarity rating when I was asked about an 1807 half dollar, with an R1 rated die variety (O-112), that I had listed. I explained to the requester the details and that this was not a very rare type. Of the 10 1807 O-112 half dollars currently listed on ebay, only one indicates R1. It is not simple to find rarity designations.

Thanks for the bump.

Thanks for the bump. On a side note, I assume that you are aware that there are 100s, and more likely 1,000s, of R1 die variety specimens posted on ebay, much less other sites that sells coins. Including the rare rating is only an informative element, of which even acts as a helpful notification to a viewer.

There have been a number of posting issues on the "Follow the lead picture post" thread on the "US. World and Ancient Coins" board. However, while I have made this same post on that forum, the post is not easily visible.

I am quite aware of the meaning of the rarity ratings. There is nothing wrong with the statements that I have made.

Thank you for the bump.

Here is a coin (1943 S Walking Liberty half dollar) that I have graded as AU+ (almost uncirculated). AU has 4 different sub-levels (50, 53, 55, 58). Lower grades (VF, XF) have 2 sub-levels. Grade Uncirculated (MS) has 11 sub-levels. Obverse- All detail is of extremly high quality. Only very few small wear spots on highest area. Reverse- All detail is of extremly high quality. Only very few small wear spots on highest area. Also, for comparison, is a PCGS rated coin.

Here is a coin (1887 Seated Liberty dime) that I have graded as VF (very fine). Obverse- Face detail, such as eyes, nostril and lips are clearly visible, with some detail. All letters in word "liberty" on the shield is easily readable. Most, if not all, lines on shiled are visible, but some may be weak. Some of the creases in the cap and curls in the hair are visible. All letters and date are full and very readable. Wearing is even and on the higher areas. Reverse- All letters easily readable. Wreath is complete with some details visible in ribbon, corn and wheat. Wearing is even and on the higher areas. Also, for comparison, is a PCGS rated coin.

Just FYI, there are more than 2,000 matches for "rotated die" on ebay. Seems like a grease strike. Although, I do know of at least one die variety with a buff out, which is a very specific structure and that N seems to be completely gone. Perhasp grease weak and buffed out?
