Would anyone have a picture of the edge of an early dollar or some information.

I have an 1800 dollar in an NGC holder, and know it says 'HUNDRED CENTS, ONE DOLLAR OR UNIT' on the edge, but of course on my slabbed coin I have never seen it. I haven't been to a coin show since I was a kid, some 30 years ago and have never seen one raw to look at.

 

The red book says, when describing the 94-95 flowing hair dollars, there are decorations between words on the edge. Are there also decorations between words on the bust dollars, and what are these decorations.

Does the wording go around the entire edge of the coin, or just part of it? I know you folks are great with pictures, and was wondering if anyone had a picture? Any help would be appreciated

A reply, ending the shutout.

Had to get rid of that goose egg.

Your best bet would be to Google up a shot. I spent 5 minutes and could not find an edge shot, but you may be luckier. www.google.com

Is the coin well graded? If so, then crack it, arrange for some high quality photos to be taken, then send it back to NGC and have it graded ans slabbed again. I've done this more than once myself.

Thanks for the replies. I tried a yahoo search, I'll try google.

Hoot- Yes, I think its well graded, NGC AU50, conservative grade in my opinion . I bought it on the Collectors Universe site when they used to have auctions, this was in early 2000. If I ever learn how to take pictures of coins and post them, I'll post one. I really hate to crack it out just to look at the edge and take pics, but if NGC or PCGS ever comes up with a holder that shows the edge, I will definitely have it reholdered in one of those.

 

Great board you have here, I've read several interesting threads. Thanks.
