Been to the coin shops in the UK again

9 posts in this topic

Hi all went scrounging again and there was very little in again .. always the same when you have a little spare cash to spend. (shrug)

 

but what he dis say was that i should save some money up as they are "Finally" going to have a coin sale/auction sometime before August !!! and there are lots of accumulations of USA coins in the sale :applause: when i asked if there are any "good" single USA coins he said "NO" (tsk).. so i guess i will have to keep listing on eBay and stop spending at the moment.. !!!!

 

i did pick this 1906D up for my dansco

and when i got back from the bank with the cash for it some one had come in with a lot of coins and i grabbed this for £3 out of the bag.

I don't have a Redbook handy at work, so I'll have to ask: is that an overdate or a re-punched date in the '47 large cent?

I think they are all solid coins except for the Barber Half. Spotting may be nice on a cheetah but it's distracting on a coin. :þ

"strong repunching at left base of each digit + weaker repunching at the tops of the 1 & 8"

 

I think its a die state c as there are no die cracks or die lines evident on the reverse
