This has got to be the ugliest women on a coin, if you have an uglier one I would like to see it! Is this what women looked like in San Francisco 1869? I guess there wasn't any pretty girls around back then lol.... Anyways I bought this piece a while back and just got it graded, according to the census there's only one P/L graded higher and it's a ms 64 P/L. This is a pretty cool piece and I just thought I would show it off a bit. Thanks for any comments.....Joe

Just picked this one up off the Bay - its in a PCGS 64 Non FH Holder.

I thought it was a decent strike as most of the head detail is still there.

 

1930-S:

Sellers images - but he stated that the coin is from a Bowers & Merena

auction - and that he "borrowed" the images. I'm never very impressed

with B&M's images - usually, the coin is much nicer in hand.

 

Once my newest SLQ set is approximately 50% complete, I'll send it to

a professional photographer.

BTW, does anyone know what to multiply the face value of 40% silver to get the approximate melt value? Thank you!

 

The ASW for a 40% IKE is .3161..simply multiply .3161 x spot price = silver value ( of course mixed metal coin silver should sell for less than .999 because of the more complex process of extracting the silver from the other metals)

Halves - .1479

 

Dollars - .3161

 

I think these are the correct numbers.

Buffalo Head and Tejas - I really like both of those halves.

 

I love the 1839's lightly worn patina - and I have always wanted

the "right" looking 1812 CBH. Nice coins, guys !! Very nice !!!
