EZ_E Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I really like this coin, Mike. I still need one. I got a AU58 once but returned it because it had cleaning compound gunk embedded around the devices/lettering and retoned. NGC slabbed it but I have no idea why.

EZ_E Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Nice coin, Paul! I definitely need to upgrade my FE at some point. It is just XF, but original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rexcat Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Thanks Victor, Always good coming from a fellow type collector. I've seen a few good looking FE cents in MS63 slabs around since I bought mine, so they are out there. Prices were about $600 and I've seen MS64s for around $1200.

I just ordered a PR63 1915 Barber quarter from Pinnacle Rarities to replace/substitute the 1892 PR64Cameo that I've seemed to have lost or misplaced. Will post images later. I hope that it's a keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomB Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Hey, Lee, it looks like Ms Liberty got into a fight with that shiner she has! Here's another 1857 copper, but the coin is nicer than my initial attempts to image it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldhair Posted August 9, 2006 Author Share Posted August 9, 2006 Great image and coin RGT. I love it. What would you grade it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomB Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 That's a nice little coin, RGT. Here's another. The slab is scuffed, which makes the coin look mushy when in reality it is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGT Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 My 1857 is graded MS64 by NGC, which I think is correct. Tom, I still need that one for my set. I notice a lot of these have a weak strike at the base of the shield and the upper left of the wreath. Looking for well struck ones keeps me closer to staying in my budget. Here's my 1872-S. Not the mostly lovely coin, but original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinstonWare Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Nice one Bruce Do you know why the coin is toning more near the rim? I always assumed that coins that had this look toned more on the edges because the edges were nearest the edge of the album/folder/mint set. So I don't know why the napkin coin is doing that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
