"Retained struck through" is a whole error category. Look at it under a microscope. They're interesting, but not really any value. http://www.error-ref.com/struckthrougherrors/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtryka Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 What is that first coin? It looks interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbbpll Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 1904-S Reverse 2, "thin ribbon" reverse of 1900. The proportion of 1904-S with reverse 2, roughly 25%, means they are relatively easy to find. However, the low 800,000 mintage also means a relatively expensive coin, and I was unwilling to spend $500 on an AU example (being the cheapskate collector that I am). I think I did OK for the price ($81 all in), mostly looking for a lot of meat left on the reverse and not obnoxiously cleaned. If you've been following my quest for the less common transition varieties, I still need a 1901-P reverse 2, and I've realized that I don't have a nice slabbed example of reverse 3 (reverse of 1901-1916 "thick ribbon"), so I'll probably pick up a 1901-P for that as well. Then take them on tour! Coinbuf and rrantique 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly Clean Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Just arrived today. Once I saw in person, I'm surprised it didn't get a *star designation. Obv is at least as nice as PL and other *stars I have. Maybe there is something I'm ignorant about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly Clean Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I wish I had photography skills. The yellows/golds and greens are cooler than pics show. Why doesn't PCGS use star or similar designation? AcesKings and rrantique 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post kbbpll Posted April 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2020 1901-P Reverse 3 "thick ribbon", the most common of the 1901 reverse design transition varieties. My research indicates the "thick ribbon" was introduced around April 1, 1901, based on the monthly coinage records and how well the proportions of the varieties across the 3 mints plus proofs line up with before and after April. Reverse 3 was then used exclusively through 1916, except for SF which sporadically used Reverse 2 through 1905. This coin reminds me of a Seinfeld episode, where his girlfriend only looks beautiful in the light of a specific booth in the cafe, and in other places, he looks at her and goes "Aaah! Yikes!". I haven't decided if I like it or not. Difficult for me to photograph with the coin so deep in the holder.

Coinbuf Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 A great many toned coins are that way, rather ordinary until tipped just the right way in the light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you trying to corner the market on these, or are you just acquiring enough coins to take your show on the road? kbbpll 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha, yes. First step, corner it. Second step, create a market. The latter apparently involves handing a bag of cash to a TPG or publisher.

RonnieR131 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Found another coin, this time in the bottom of a box, 3/4 way wedged underneath cardboard flip at the very bottom. Box didn't have coins in it, just other handmedown stuff, so this was pretty exciting! Turned out to be a common 1880 S, up close looks like it's been in motorcycle wreck, no toning etc., so not worth grading, but hey, made my day! rrantique and jtryka 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly Clean Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Most of my collection is MS64 (or as close to it as I can afford) but I wanted one that was higher grade.

RonnieR131 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Truly Clean, when I showed my 1880 S the photo of your 1880 S, and she saw the beautiful MS67 that she could have been, she just hung her AU50 head. She knows she never should've gotten on the back of that motorcycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
