Dang those look like the condition of the majority of my coins! Old, Worn, and lowgrade. BUT, original

[rrantique]

Like me Bruce,"old and used", but still looking good.

 

[Dwaine]

Lovely group of coins Bruce.

Love that holed 1798!

 

 

 

Sorry, but I'm not big on holed coins. I think if you took a poll of coin collectors you would find that "holed" is the worst defect there is.

 

As for the other coins, some of them are OK. I'll have to take a closer look to find my favorites.

I agree. Although a very small, very neatly drilled hole isn't too bad if its an otherwise prohibitively expensive coin (or if the mint made it )

 

I like the 1834 half. That coin appears just about perfect in every way.

I agree cool little group of coin's wouldn't mind owning 1 or 2 of them.

[Just Bob]

Bruce, you DO have a way with pictures.

 

I like the "paper towel" touch!

[Bruceswar]

For reference the 1829 and 1826 bust halfs have been cleaned. But they were cheap in a trade deal. I traded junk silver rounds for the 1798 Dollar, soo score if you ask me. The 1833 and 1834 Bust halfs are orginal as one could hope. The 1888 Dime is nice as well XF coin. The large cent might have post mint damage, but a sign of use. And last the 1823 Bust half and 1862 Quarter prolly has been dipped a few times, but that is part of history. Take it for what it is. Oh yeah almost forgot the 1812 Bust half is starting to retone nicely.

I took a quick look at that holed coin and did a double take as well...I don't think its real.

[Bruceswar]
