rexcat Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Whew! Just beat another client by 3 minutes in picking this one up from Mark Feld: 1870 Legend Obverse Seated Liberty Dime NGC PR64 $650 Obverse with a white center (as compared to the pink hue that the image portrays) framed by colorful old time album toning at the border; reverse mostly color-free with considerable cameo contrast. One would be hard pressed to locate a noticeably better example for the grade and price. Way cool dime Victor! Awesome toning, nice cameo contrast, there’s a lot to like in your coin. Any 19th century proof is a fine addition to a type set, but you did great on this pick up EZE. Mark Feld’s website is always filled with good stuff; I go there and drool often.

Bruceswar Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 The dime is killer Victor! I love it! Nice photos as well. I see your getting alot better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZ_E Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Thanks for the kudos, Bruce & Paul. Actually, that is Mark's photo. He's going to FedEx it to me so it should be in hand shortly. Like I said, another 3 minutes and I'd have been out of luck. I was lucky and saw his email right-a-way. Mark always has great coins but most are snatched up so quickly that it is easy to miss out. He has me on his want list for a PR64 Cameo No Motto Seated Liberty Half. He had a beautiful last September but I missed it and someone on these boards picked it up. I hope I get one as nice. p.s. Here's a link for a beautiful Christian song that I'm listening to now: I'm drinking from my saucer, 'cause my cup has overflowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGT Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Here's one I snagged on ebay from Russ across the street. He correctly mentioned that it was a tough one to photograph. The lines on both sides are die polish and don't show up nearly as much in hand as they do in the pictures. Here's the auction with Russ's pictures.

EZ_E Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Cool Dawg! I thought that the 1839 type had no stars? Obviously I'm mistaken but nice coin anyway. I just got this off of ebay from leeg (it was a James Garcia coin so you know that it's gotta be good!): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomB Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 It's easy to forget what years come with what bells-and-whistles for the myriad Seated Libery series, but the dimes were no stars obverse with legend reverse for 1837 and 1838-O only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zrlevin Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Cool Dawg! Thanks! I just got this off of ebay from leeg (it was a James Garcia coin so you know that it's gotta be good!): James definately has nice coins! I have no idea where he finds them all but I'm sure I will get more from him in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ'S Coins Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 (edited) Here's an 1820 I'm waiting on. I was playing with Microsoft Paint around the background of the obverse. The coin is not nicked or damaged. Edited June 27, 2006 by TJ'S Coins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpm9ball Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 (edited) I picked up a small hoard of foreign coins today. These from South & East Africa are of no great value, but I just like the way they look. Any marks you might see, are on the 2x2.

TomB Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Bruce, the 1805 DBH is a much, much, much, much, much, much harder date than the bid sheets suggest! Did I mention that it was much harder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpm9ball Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 (edited) These are couple from that foreign hoard that I think are interesting, too!

Wihlborg Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Here’s my latest acquisition. It’s a HK-497 So Called Dollar in a NGC MS-66 holder, but NGC has it mislabeled as a HK-498. I’ll be sending it back to be corrected with my next submission. It is much nicer in hand than it looks in my photos. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regis44 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 It's a good day. The franklin rev with close inspection does not appear to be scratched or wipped but, has what appears to be a water stain across part of it. It's the only toned one in a UNC roll of 1963 halfs. Obviously someone tampered with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
