Heritage LHN-1904, what do you think?

1907Quarter

what do you think of the color? reverse 2-tone? What makes it a 62? Seems higher to me.

Looks better than a 62 to me. Maybe the color on the reverse is hiding something we can't see from the current picture.

Ditto that except to say that I'm not completely sure there are different colors on the reverse. That could be the way the lighting is playing with a cartwheel.

I'd spend a bit more and get a nicer coin. As I see it, you're typically in no-man's land in 61 & 62 grades; these are strictly market grades.

You have a typical strike with star 7 not full and the left corn weak. You have a carbon spot at the top of Miss Liberty's bonnet and a series of small contact marks around star 3. You also have a series of what appear to be either hairlines or striations on at around 4:00 on the obverse. The toning on the reverse looks hideous.

It is appears fairly graded to me.

Uh, why does that show a user name of "Placid"?

Weird. Now, it shows a user name of "szrvl". Are there some security issues on their site?

It said my name just because I had a previous heritage cookie and used the link.

The reverse of this 1912 PCGS MS62 had nearly identical toning- a gold "halo" effect, sort of. And my coin was also in a green label holder.

That coin was in my old pre-Registry type set and was also the giveaway prize in my Virtual Type Set giveaway I did this summer. The first player to "collect" all the pictures ("virtual" coins) from the set won a real coin from the set- the 1912 PCGS MS62 Liberty nickel. I PM'ed different clues to people and encouraged them to trade clues with each other. I also hid clues around the forums. Whitewashqtr won the Liberty nickel. It was a lot of fun. I might have to do something similar again one day.

Anyway, even accounting for my small, poor-quality picture left over from the Virtual Type Set game, that Heritage 1904 looks a quite a bit sharper than my 1912 did. Nice coin for the grade, and possibly an upgrade candidate IMHO. Looks like a sharp strike and there's some nice luster beneath the toning. As I recall, the toning on mine subdued the luster. That coin's luster shines through a bit. Nice. I like it. My coin had traces of iridescence, which might be the case with the reverse on that one.
