Woods020 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Anyone know who A biondi is? Should I know them or care who they are? That is a new one on me, and I assume it’s just a personal collection someone wanted labeled. Alex in PA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seller of this coin has several of the coins from this collection. Some are high $$$ coins.

Popular Post The Neophyte Numismatist Posted May 13 Popular Post Share Posted May 13 Back in February, I was ready to buy an 1856 Half Cent in MS64BN, and posted it here. I was able to get the insight of some respected collectors that had me ultimately question my purchase, and return the coin (The pictures of that coin have been removed to not make the next coin owner feel bad). Today, I was able to make a deal on another 1856 Half Cent in MS64RB. It did cost more money, but I am much happier with the coin. I hope this serves as a lesson to other collectors... Be picky, wait for the right coin, and be ready when the "right" coin comes along. Make sure you are buying a coin that is good for the grade!

Speaking strictly for myself, dignifying your contribution with a comment, automatically confirms my rank amateur status. The joke is on me; I get it. Moving right along now, I was going to suggest the "B" in "V.D.B." looks more like the "P" in "PLURIBUS". I like the elongated left arm of the "V" in "V.D.B." and believe yours is the first Lincoln Cent I've seen with an open mouth at the top of the left ear of wheat. None of the foregoing should be construed as a provisional acceptance of your offer to sell the coin to me for $10 mil. tj96 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus Arrius Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 I am not inclined to dispose of the problem so neatly and quickly. What you've got there is a legitimate work of art I happen to like immensely. But my opinion carries no weight. Now, if founding members of the anti-counterfeiting chapter allow it to pass muster, as is, I am all for it. To my brain, still in infantile mode, it is not a true legitimate authorized counterfeit because that cannot be achieved within the specified date/mm range specified for the Lincoln Cent. I like it. I'd be curious to hear what Chopper One has to say about it. He's the cent's biggest fan. 🐓 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus Arrius Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 I would say a sizeable portion of the Forum is in an uproar. Brace for impact! The pontificators, always looking for a reason to unleash the fury of their Gatlings, are on the march and we should be experiencing the first barrage of their lectures shortly. A 1908-s V.D.B. Lincoln! Positively diabolical! I love it! 🐓 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
