"PCGS 1793 MS68 RD Atwater Large Cent?"...in pop reports...
If you're referring to the MS 68RED Wreath Cent that Jay Parrino owned and reportedly sold, it's listed in the pop report but just not as an
Atwater coin.

I like this image better, it seems like a more realistic portrayal of what the coin looks like. I never much cared for Superior's images.
Incidentally, I've heard that someone is having Anna Nicole Smith enter the auction room immediately before this coin comes up for auction.

She explicitely requested that she be given at least a half hours notice before she was to come out........so as to have time to pry the remaining pounds of meat and potatoes from her teeth, and get into her corset!
<< <i>Superior's image shows the coin in a fairly scratched up holder - look at 12 o'clock on the reverse - those white lines are scratches on the holder.

I love Ike dollars and all other dollar series !!!
I also love Major Circulation Strike Type Sets, clad Washingtons ('65 to '98) and key date coins !!!!!
If ignorance is bliss, shouldn't we have more happy people ??
<< <i>This coin was actually auctioned by Goldberg in their U.S. & Ancients Coinage Auction in October, 2000. It was lot 1397, and it brought $74,750 of bids, though it was bought back by its owner. Here's Goldberg's image of the coin, at www.coinfacts.com:

This is something that really irks me, here we have a coin that very well may be bid to nearly $100k with a cheap image. What is with Superior and other dealers of high end material? Seems to me they ought to be making enough money to buy the right equipment and hire someone that knows how to use it to produce high quality images. I am sorry, the image in Superior's auction is absolute garbage.
If it was bought in `00 for 74.8 K it does seem likely it will now go for near100 K?
I think with a coin like this, given its condition, I would want more than a hand-written explaination of its origin.
Does a coin like this have papers?Authentic documentation of any type?
Perhaps its all in the grading process and the grade is saying `you,d look a gift horse in the mouth?`
or `papers? we dont need me stinkin papers!!!`
We'll use our hands and hearts and if we must we'll use our heads.
Anyone else notice this? Am I wrong?

Fact is........the lady of the house found this one listed on ebay while i was still in the boudoire, catching a few more zzzzzzzzz's! (her name is Anita..........and she has become a coinahaulic) She's reminded me of that fact more than once, so i thought i might share the credit with her on this one!
Though she is not in a financial position to pursue coins for herself at this time........she has become rather spoiled and fussy after seeing in person the quality of my aquisitions over the past couple of years! Train 'um early and they do some legwork for you!
The only problem i'm having is.....well.......she kinda scares me sometimes. She wants to take some of my coins out of the holders and give um a great.....BIG....KISSSSSSSSS! SMOOTCH..XXXXXXXX!
A statement by her of a desire to then mount them in a pendant for herself has me laughing on the one hand.........and keeping the coins safe and locked up in my bank box with the other!
Anyway.......i've fessed up to my sins of omission, and gotten a chuckle or two out of the little lady for now. Maybe a little later she'll spoil me a bit!
So come on guys,(or girls).......anybody else have a team player helping with the roster of coins coming before your eyes? FESS UP!!

If you read the post immediately preceeding this one you'll know i have an extra set of eyes peering over my shoulder.......waiting to see if she's alone!
HELP!!!!!!!
