My favorite copper from the Jules Reiver sale (liberated, of course....)

[James_OldeTowne]

1833 N-3, NGC AU-55. It has a gorgeous doubled-profile, and the coin itself is really choice. Enjoy!

sweet wow wild!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

james can i ask you how much you paid for this coin??

 

 

and if it is for sale to me??

It looks like Jules Reiver paid $20.00 in 1968. What a phenomenal coin! James, I'm really enjoying all the pictures that you're posting of your purchases out of the Reiver Collection. I'm not responding to each thread because I'm . . . speechless. I can honestly say that this is the first time I've felt a strong urge to stop outside the focus of my collection. STOP IT!

 

Michael, you don't want this coin. It's value clearly comes from the slab, and James has foolishly cracked it out.

Fabulous coin and a great variety. You can add me to your list of jealous onlookers!

Hi Michael! It's already found a good, permanent home.

 

I paid $267 + S&H, which to me is a fantastic bargain, considering the grade, quality, doubled profile, and the very cool original little box it spent much of its life in.

Ain't coin collecting just the greatest?

James: Great coin and congratulations!

 

Geeze -- I learned something today. I had this 1833 cent that had a strongly doubled profile in my personal collection for over 15 years now. Never did anything with it. Now I finally know what it is. I can't tell in your scan -- but my coin has a die crack beginning from the "C" of AMERICA that runs thru the bottom portions of the letter "A" continuing west over the stem. Does your coin exhibit that die crack?

[michael]

wow that is a cool coin

 

it is just that geo french lived in rochester ny and in a house close to me and he also founded my local coin club

[James_OldeTowne]

Bill, my coin does not have that die crack. I'm sure yours must be a different Newcomb variety. Post an image, and maybe we can get it attributed!

Hi James: I could scan the coin but it probably wouldn't be very good for trying to attribute it. I plan to shoot some photos on it, especially the die crack and other die markers and I can post the photos when I get them done.

 

Or -- I can mail you the coin if you want to examine it? I got it out of a dealer's junk box and it's cruddy coin but if you want to examine it -- just let me know.

 

Thanks ....
