  1. I am super happy about getting my heraldric eagle and seated (motto) liberty before the prices jumped by 4-5 times what I paid. Problem is, I don't have a no motto, small eagle, or flowing hair. Bigger problem is, I never have money, and they always seem to be getting more valuable, lol. Lottery anyone?

  2. PS- If you sell the other one, I'd be interested!

     

    Haha, you interested in a bust half!? Seriously though, if you want to pop me a PM we can work something out. If there is anything else a little more recent (barber on up) I have silver comin out my ears thanks to being the middle man in this collection, lol.

  3. I posted this with links to your photos on the NGC forums, and apparently in the Overton/Parsley book (later edition than I have) it does mention this edge on some 1834s. The other interesting thing is the apparent edge error in the photo, with OR over the HALF.

     

     

    Thanks for doing some research for me Jeff, it's appreciated. The funny part about the edgework is that they are both the same way, with the OR/ALF. I am curious if they used the same edge collar for all the experimental edges in 1834. In either case they are nice coins, I'll probably keep the nice one too, I wonder how rare the experimental edge on them is?

  4. For the most part I think you're right Jeff, there are a few spots I'm not sure about though. Mainly the dot in the cross bars, I assumed you meant in the shield, but neither coin has a dot as described. Also the E appears to be recut, but the entire letter, not just one side.

     

    Basically the obverse of the first coin seems correct, but I'm unsure of the reverse.

     

    The second coin seems about right, but the eagles head, appears recut, but could just be die shift. Also, the 5 appears to be not only recut, but backwards, checkout the top left side of it.

     

    Here are some more photos, I hope they are of some use.

  5. Thanks Jeff, if anyone would know on here, I knew it would either be you or bustchaser (who I haven't seen for a bit). The first half is dark, but still has lustre hiding in the devices, it's a nice coin. I'll get an edge photo up tonight hopefully.

     

    As for the large cent, I can't really tell offhand what the date is, and it's scratched a bit around liberties head. I'll try and get some better photos tonight. And I love the 83 DDR, it's one of those coins I've wanted for a really long time. Now I just need to buy the G-4ish 1914-D he has and I'll only need 3 more coins! :ninja: (09-S, 09-Svdb, and 31-S) ;)

     

    Oh, one more thing is a book of 1938-1964 Jefferson nickels WITH PROOFS I have to figure a price on, all coins are great uncs, so I am afraid of how much it's worth, lol. But I will hopefully be able to get that as well, which will finally give me a reason to get a dansco, lol.

  6. I'm glad you enjoyed checking out some of my stuff ElleKitty, and don't think you can't get stuff like this cheap. I've had many great deals in the past 5 years or so on some really hard to find notes and coins, and it's all because I've been patient and searched the web basically everyday for new listings on here, on eBay, and Heritage. Be patient and those great old things will find themselves with you as some point. :ninja:

  7. I got a handful of new coins today in exchange for selling off a friends collection for him. He even GAVE me the 1983 doubled die reverse, which blew me away because I've always wanted one, but never wanted to spend the money on it! So I guess for doing it for him, he gave me all kinds of awesome coins! Woot!

     

    Anyway I am hoping Jeff can help me out here, I have two 1834 bust halves, both have experimental edges (a small half inch or so of reeding followed by a single star) and both dates appear to be slightly different. I couldn't figure out what's what, so hopefully someone *cough*Jeff*cough* can help me out.

     

    I also got a flowing hair large cent, but I can't tell if it's a 1794 or 1795, either way I like it. :ninja:
