Roadrunner............Thanks for great Christmas. Great coins but lousy pics!

Baldy

I would like thank roadrunner for making my Christmas great.....But now I have a hole in my pocket.

He sent me these two coins and I was originally going to send the 1859-O back; but, the more I looked at it the
more I liked it . Here are pics of the two. they do not do the coins justice the luster is better and the toning on the
1859-O is really great.

I would appreciate any thoughts






Thank you everyone and Hope you have a great holiday

Very nice pieces Fred - pardon my ignorance, but are they dimes or half dimes?

Images are too fuzzy to have much of an idea, but I can vouch that Roadrunner knows his grades on seated material and is quite picky!

Can you tell me the date, and grade?

Baldy

toyonakataro,

The arrows is a 1853 half dime in a ngc 66 holder and the 1859-O is also a half dime in
a ngc 65 holder. Both very nice coins and as tradedollernut said Brian seems to be very
picky.

Maybe I ought to go out and get next year's Christmas present early: a new camera.

Hard to tell from those pics, but seems like you got great coins from roadrunner(wow, that 1859-O is very rare in that grade, isn't it?)
Congrats!!

Fred,

Thanks for the plug. Too bad the scans don't show the true look of the coins. I've seen a couple 1859-0's in the past year and this was the only one I liked. It also happened to be the lowest graded one too!

I've only seen a small sampling of his wares, and they were all worthy of the effort my buddy and I took to go meet him and see his goodies. Numismatically speaking, I'd want him to cover my back anytime.
