1874 SEATED 10c "HIDDEN CC"

Hey RYK - you wanted an 1874-CC dime. Here's your chance. So what if the CC is hidden?

JrGMan2004

islemangu

we just call them as we see them and you guys can have at it. ...........If you use your imagination maybe you can see it but we can't

so which is it? call them as you see them or call them when you don't see them

RYK

Yeah, and I should be able to get that one for under 25.



I cannot believe those losers are in business. They are a pox to numismatics and ultimate wannabes. (There-I uttered the "W" word).

Of course, as soon as I say that, I see:

This auction for a good 1874 Philadelphia dime seems relatively honest compared to ah-collectibles' auction a couple of years ago for an ACG-slabbed 1901-s quarter which they christened the previously unknown "weak S variety" after the added mintmark fell off, but the glue was still S-like.

If I stay up much longer tonight I'll be able to hallucinate a CC on this dme!

Who was it that said they were going to run a spoof auction by Full Moon Coins selling "Unsearched 1944 Wheat Cents" or something a while back? They might have more material.....
Come to think of it, there's a contest for just that open right now...

WaterSport

At least he could explain how he determined this is not a "Hidden S Variety"

Betta285

I have a coin like that, Only It's my 1889 Morgan. It has a CC mintmark, but you have to use your imagination to see it

I'll send in my hidden payment very soon.

Tootawl

My bid for this coin will also be hidden.

mr1931S

I seriously doubt Moon's coin is the real deal. The coin is not worn enough for a "CC," if there ever was one, to be so totally absent.

Having said that, I do see some tiny marks under the bow that look roughly like a tiny "c" with a reversed equally tiny "c" next to it.

A better description for this coin might be "1874-CC micro 'cc'/second 'c' reversed."

mtnman

Wonder if my 1901 quarter could have the hidden "S". The more I look at it the more it looks
like it's there. Now I'm pretty sure that's an "S" I see on my '93 Morgan. My coins could be worth
more than I thought.

Barry

There's a thought. I'll email him and ask him if he'd consider a trade for my 1901 hidden S quarter

BigGreek

"This is supposed to be a CC but the CC is worn off. If you use your imagination maybe you can see it but we can't.

And if he uses his imagination maybe he can see bids for that item, we can't.

mr1931S

Barry, offering your quarter for his dime sounds more than fair.

Shamika

Even for Blue Moon, this is a bit much.

Numismanic

Now I'll have to check my '26 Buffalo nickels to see if they're the "Hidden S" variety.

Conder101

You can easily see enough of the edge in the photo to prove that it is NOT a CC issue. The CC dimes of that era had 89 reeds. On the reverse image you can easily count roughly 28 reeds from 12:00 to 3:00 that would mean around 112 reeds.

kranky

Great observation, Conder.

mrearlygold

This guy makes claims to Numismatic author. CW, NN , Coinage , etc


Does anyone have any knowledge of exactly what he's authored and maybe have a link to any of it???

Hidden CC huh?

Amazing

REALGATOR

As Conder101 figured out, many rarities can be identified without even seeing the date or mint mark. The 1911-D $2 1/2 Indian is a classic. You dont even have to look at the reverse to know whether or not its a Denver. A "professional" should (I mean would) know this and not try to pass things off as something its not. And that picture of the old man looking at his Breen or whatever book seems to have taken a whole bottle of sleeping pills and is about to crash and drool on the thing. Maybe thats when he had the CC epiphany...

mr1931S

A basic rule of NumismaticScholarship101 should be, "Don't ever suggest, even on ebay, that there is such a thing as a hidden mintmark on a coin."

Member who did reed count, good work.

mirabela

Yeah, that toned 1896 cameo Morgan I put up last night has the 'hidden O.' I forgot to mention that. It's worth a fortune.

RickMilauskas

(My above comments concerning this thread are hidden.)

mr1931S

Moon did manage to get the reeds to show in his image, allowing an easy count.

This "hidden CC" specimen might be very collectible in its own right.

lordmarcovan

I'm gonna sell my 1909 VDB "Hidden S" cents.

He has written extensively on the "hidden mint marks and selling such coins on Ebay". >>

MrLee

Shouldn't this auction be reported to eBay Fraud?

eagle7

At 9.00 and change for a starting bid this is really pretty harmless, and quite funny as well. No need to report this one as no fraud can be proven here! JMHO.
