Baltimore Newps

[lkenefic]

Hello everyone... Friday was my birthday.. care to guess which one by the theme of my purchases? I had occasion to get down to the Baltimore show for a little while. Here are the fruits of my efforts. Two were cracked out of plastic... care to guess which ones?

My guess would be the half cent and half dime! Nice pick ups. I really like the half cent - lots of character.

Happy 50th!

I'd say 20 + because the grade of VF20...just a guess though

Cracked out the Barber Half and the seated half dime?

 

Nice Pick ups! (thumbs u

I like that C-1.

Aegis... I did too! The dealer had another 1804 with slightly better detail but it looked like there were very light scratches on Liberty's head. I liked the overall look of this piece and the die breaks too. The small patch of schmutz at 9:00 o'clock on the obverse isn't too distracting... Thanks, L

Thanks for the feedback. I cracked both the 1838 RE and the 1909 Barber from PCGS VF 30 holders. The 1804 HC and the 1854 H10C were raw. The 1804 HC (C-1, R-3) was graded F15 and the 1854 H10C was graded XF40+. I was in agreement with the grade on the half cent but felt the half dime was more VF35-ish.
