Very nice old gold..... a real treasure. Cheers, RickO
I really enjoy looking at the images of these coins, hope to see one up close some day.
A coin that nice deserves a better thread title.
MS early gold, impeccable provenance. Fantastic!
yeah, that's nice
Nice coin! I am going to get myself a 18th Century US gold at some point. Gotta have goals!

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
Fantastic coin

Indeed. I wonder who figured out that as the country kept adding states, they would either have to keep using smaller and smaller stars or standardize the number at 13?
I love old gold

In a rarely before seen image from the presentation caputured by a report of the Baltimore Bugle on January 3, 1796, Thomas Jefferson opined as the United States adds more territories into the Union, careful thought should be given to future coinage designs.
Edited to add ... NICE COIN!!!

WOW!
Simply amazing. 1795 and in MS condition. Awesome.
Mama mia.

I might get flamed for saying this, but that black spot on her jawline is quite distracting. Maybe if l think of it as a Cindy Crawford-like beauty mark it will be less distracting! Regardless of the spot, or not, it's a stunner and a keeper!
Very nice indeed,
Consider yourself duly and rightfully flamed.
Henceforth this example shall be known as the Crawford specimen! Lol.
.
The average grade of 65.6 (at 48% completion) is pretty amazing.
And that 1799 $1, wow.
Thanks Bruce.. I think Yos said it as well can be said... amazing. In just 4 months too. At this rate are you planning to be complete by YE?

Ha. It will take quite a few years to do this right. And a lot of stressful “is this the right price point” decisions...along with “if it’s not, will the right one ever be available?”
@astrorat, you did not get nearly enough love for that photoshop. Made me crack up. Well done!
That 1796 Dime is FIRE!!!!! Beautiful set!
Beautiful, love the 1799 $1

Okay, I'll call you out. So on my computer screen, the obverse of the G$5 is 174mm in diameter, and the black spot is 1mm in diameter. In reality, the coin itself is 25mm in diameter, which means the black spot is 0.14mm - less than 1/6th of a millimeter. So you are saying something so tiny is "Quite Distracting"? I don't know if you could even see it in hand. If nothing else, it proves the originality of the piece!
You are probably correct. In hand I bet it's not noticeable. In the true view it was the first thing my eye was drawn to. I still think it's an amazing coin!
This problem with scaling of contact marks, spots, etc. is of course proportionally worse for even smaller coins like half dimes.
Unfortunately, it seems that most of the time we look at the photo, or at the coin under some type of magnification,
so it helps to keep in mind the actual size of the contact mark.
Very nice coin.
Bruce, I just noticed your 1804 is missing. Did you sell it?

Nope. Missing from where?

Lovely piece of Americana.
Those early pieces always make me wonder though - is that what everyone thought eagles and people really looked like, or did our artists and engravers just suck? No offense to anybody, but the eagle looks like some bizarre dinosaur, and Liberty looks like she's holding onto Ben Franklin's kite.

Wow, gorgeous and well struck coin with good color and luster!
The minor graffiti in the fields is barely noticeable. Awesome piece!
