What was the expected grade on that one?

Congrats. A very nice grouping that is for sure!

Heck, instead of sending in a cleaned coin next time, I'll shoot you one of my widgets for you to throw in the box.

Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.

What was the expected grade on that one?
VG-8/10
Looking forward to seeing this one!

I agree with the gentleman from Washington. I cede my two minutes to the honorable Pistareen, who can comment on the coin as well.

I, too, would like to hear from the experts. Based upon the photo, I would send that coin in without reservation.
Beautiful 1837 LC.

Maybe the 1798 was recolored? (some mottling?)
I knew it would happen.
<< <i>May we also see the DBHs? >>
Sorry, I am done granting wishes for the day.
(I have them on my computer at home and will post them later.)
I've seen that one before. The surfaces are actually pretty smooth. The obverse exhibits an uneven strike from the die - hence the lack of LIBERTY.
TPG's still struggle with early copper. At least they got the 1837 N4 right ....

I know you probably wouldn't let that go..... BUT
<< <i>Holy CRAP!!!! I love that 1802 half. I didn't get a chance when it was listed. If you ever upgrade/dump that beauty..... Please remember me!!!
I know you probably wouldn't let that go..... BUT
I am well known for my short attention span.
That's enough I better stop or the price goes up!

The ecstacy...the James Stack pedigree was correctly placed on the 1837 large cent slab
