Even the patina could not conquer this lovely piece. The coin bears fine font-work and a heaviness in its execution that belies its indispensability in ordinary commerce. Their unique unwieldiness, more evident when held in [protected] hands, is what continues to make them a favorite of all collectors. 🐓 R__Rash, Lem E and Hoghead515 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GBrad Posted November 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 5, 2021 Picked up this raw 1946-S the other day. It's a nice DDO-008 or listed as CONECA 8-O-II+V. Also has the RPM-029 which is a bit difficult to tell from the pic but it's there. I just LOVE doubled dies!

Quintus Arrius Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 I "liked" your coin, @GBrad, because "love" is not available. I have a personal question to ask you. I don't know if by "picked up" you mean loose, in person, in hand or a flip but... would you have bought this coin sight unseen, uncertified, seller unknown (but with a stellar reputation) SOLELY on the strength of the photographs 📸 you have provided us? I would and I have on grade alone, as you probably know, and I can't imagine anyone having a problem doing so, particularly where the photography, as here, is superior, but am curious nonetheless. 🐓 RonnieR131 and GBrad 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually got up enough nerve and finally bought a coin off of eBay, first time. As we all know, and have read the countless horror stories, buying off the Bay is always a risk. The seller does have an absolute stellar reputation and has been selling since 1989 so I felt relatively safe. They had several of these advertised as BU (which I would definitely say was true and they all looked really good). I politely messaged them to pick out the best one for me that they had left. I took the pics here in my post with my phone. I am very please with this purchase. Thanks. RonnieR131, 124Spider and Quintus Arrius 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post GBrad Posted November 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 5, 2021 One more for the Copper lovers here. Won this one on GC put up for auction from one of our fellow forum members.

Popular Post Revenant Posted November 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 6, 2021 Just for fun. I just got a bunch of these in the mail. 25 Zimbabwean cents from 1980 (first year of issue). They were copper until 1990. Looking for a really nice one for grading - hoping for a nice 66-67. So far I've bought and looked at 27 from this year.
