robec1347 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Mark, How do I become gainfully unemployed like you? You have to have the most incredible collection of coin of any mortal here. Very, very, very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123cents Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 (edited) My little coin doesn't compare to the beauties about but I just got this busty today. Edited February 3, 2007 by 123cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeKing Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 (edited) that is actually a definite sleeper coin, the 1820 curled base two, and the one you have looks unmessed with and has very nice eye appeal. This is definitely a scarce coin, and if it is not in a holder now, I suggest you send it to NGC or PCGS for grading. And don't sell it. edited to add: so yes, it does compare well to any coin above! also, the total mintage for all 1820s is just slightly greater than that for the 1807s, and of course, the curled base two variety even a smaller percentage of that. If you do a search on 1820 curled base two bust halves you will find a significant proportion having been cleaned or altered in some way. It's very difficult to find one such as yours.

TomB Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Thunk! Thud.....thud....thud...thud..thud-thud-thud-thud-thud-thud-thud-thud-THUD...thrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...thwink...thuuufffffff-ffffff-fffff-ffff-fff-ff-f...brrr!* *Translation: Me falling off my chair, hitting the first step of the staircase and progressively rolling down the staircase at an accelerated rate of speed, hitting the foyer slate floor hard, rolling across the slate floor toward the front door, rolling through the front door into the soft snow and decelerating through the snow as it accumulates around my rapidly cooling body and finally coming to a halt while the snow attenuates the swelling.

TomB Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 This coin is significantly nicer in-hand than the image suggests, which is unusual because it came from Mike Printz and Larry Whitlow and their images are generally extremely accurate. I would think the main difference between the coin in-hand and the image is that the coin has a delicate pumpkin hue throughout both obverse and reverse that does not show up well in the images.

IGWT Posted February 7, 2007 Author Share Posted February 7, 2007 I've enjoyed looking at every coin in this thread! This coin isn't exactly new, but I just received it back from the folks across the street. The picture, like Tom's, was taken by Mike Printz.

EZ_E Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 WoW...! There are some gorgeous coins being shown! Everyone, hands down! I bought this coin a few short months ago from Hoot and, since it just got slabbed by PCGS as VF20, I figure that it's deserving to be shown again.
