jackson64 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I was holding the coin on the proof pics and my hands are a bit shaky in the morning ( 4th cup of coffee) thanks for the tips on the lighting. I'm not sure of the pixels on my cam. I bought it because it was cheap (on ebay for about $70) easy to use (uses 3 1/2" floppy discs) and has 10x zoom.

bsshog40 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Those are two nice looking walkers there Jackson. The 2nd one's a little blurry but can still see it's nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsshog40 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 It looks to be a nice CBH, but you are right, it also looks to be harshly cleaned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jman425 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 It looks to be a nice CBH, but you are right, it also looks to be harshly cleaned. Wonder what NCS can do about it ? Think it's worth send it to them ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it's worth send it to them ? I don't think anything can actually be done to repair a cleaned coin. It may be worth sending to ANACS, as they will grade cleaned coins. Someone else may have a different opinion on this, so don't jump at my words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get a small cheap camera tripod and it could make a huge difference....as will the additional lighting.... (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomB Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 NCS can't/won't do anything about the cleaned CBH, but they will at least encapsulate the coin if that is what you desire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kryptonitecomics Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Christmas anyone........man am I happy with this one....looks like a Christmas Wreath on the reverse and becuase it's an early "S" mint it has that PL look to it......this is the first 1878 Morgan I have ever owned and I picked a good one Then a few more old NGC holdered coins to add to the pile.....

Revenant Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 I picked this up this morning. I'm looking forward to seeing it face to face soon. The images provided by the seller were very big, about 2300x35000 pixels and make the coin look 15 inches wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibyandsellsmith Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 From the pics I'd say that's a pretty good MS- 63. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revenant Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 From the pics I'd say that's a pretty good MS- 63. My grading is pretty worthless after MS 62/63 so I can't offer much of an opinion there. I just saw it and decided that I liked it and bid on it. The seller had set the starting bid so high that I was the only bidder but I was okay with the price tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyMan Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Seated dime, I love the breaks on that LS. Very Cool!!! Jtryka, nice looking old gold. (thumbs u 123cents, good looking '79-S. (thumbs u ES, another sweet Barber half. (thumbs u Ibuyandsellsmith, nice grouping, I particularly like the '67cameo SMS. Winston, good looking '29/7. (thumbs u Jackson64, nice looking Walkers. (thumbs u Jman, fun CBH. (thumbs u Shane, good looking grouping of coins ... but what are you doing with a Christmas wreath at this time of year? Shouldn't you be looking for a Turkey instead? William, that's an attractive Morgan. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kryptonitecomics Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Sy, I have had plenty of coins that were Turkeys over the years....but I would rather stick with colorful Christmas trees.....better ROI (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoard Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Upgrade for the type set via purchase from 123cents. Thanks for the coin. A lot of glare shooting through the slab, sorry for the image quality but the coin is excellent. The coin is also my grandfathers birthyear which is partly the reason for the purchase.

Elbesaar Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 I've added a couple of Barber Dimes to my collection and also the return of an old friend, a 1908-P Half that I mistakenly sold last year and was more than pleased to take back.

RGT Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 I like your picks better RGT. Please tell me they better represent the coin in hand. Yes, the coin looks very much like my pics in hand. The color is even better though because you really can't see all of it in the shaded areas of my pic, especially on the reverse. I wasn't sure what to expect from the sellers pics but I was pretty sure it would look better in hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
