The special six year anniversary of the thread example I posted previously (the 1864 dollar) is actually the silver dollar in the first post for this thread. It is a very nice dollar.

Is that a mint error strikethrough on that 1861 half dime? Looks way cool.
I always thought it just toned that way for some reason but now that you mention it..... I'll have to get it out and take a closer look.
I'm suspicious now, given how the line goes right over the denticles. Maybe there was a thread, hair, or something VERY small. That line is so so tiny in person.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
The other coins in the Wayte Raymond album ranged from cleaned/damaged/tooled to original XF to gem proof. There was not much consistency in quality. Some of the good ones included a 1796 Draped Bust that graded PCGS VF25, a 1797 15 stars that graded PCGS VG10, a couple of R5-R6 Capped Bust varieties in the AU range, a pretty toned 1859 that made MS65, an 1860 J-267 (now PCGS MS63), my avatar coin (1868 PCGS PR65 CAM), and several other nice proofs, all PR63-65. There were two pretty toned coins right at the end of the set, 1872-s (mm above) and 1873-s, that both graded PCGS MS65. Many of the other coins were ho-hum, or else they were problem pieces. It came with a stock box of circ. half dimes, and there were 325 pieces altogether. The total number of coins was probably the most astonishing thing about the collection!
Now back to Seated quarters.... 1890 in PCGS MS65+.

Here is a special example for the sixth birthday of this thread.
These TrueViews came in just this week. There's a few varieties here.... Check out the missing F in "OF" on the 1861.

Wow ~ Love the "no F" ! Hope to get some new TrueViews back this week.
Here is a nice CC dime...
Six years, how time flies. Thanks to all for the great pics.

The no "F" is nice...but I appreciate the overdate more! Great grade on the 1861/0 as well! Nice looking half dimes!

PCGS MS66, old blue holder. I submitted this one in 2005 after it turned up in a Wayte Raymond album that had been sitting in a bank since about 1960.
@rhedden I like your new photo of this coin. I remember this coin from when you posted the older photo last summer, along with the story about the reverse crack at 3:30.

Thanks - I just added the updated photos to the other thread. Forgot all about that one! What a difference a macro lens makes for picture quality.
Ron - What a beauty. What were the others in that Raymond album like?

What is now proved was once only imagined. - William Blake
Where's the "Really like" button?
Wow, an 1843 PR-63, with tripled date.
Is this from Superior 2000-10?
Have you ever seen the ex-Reed Hawn 1843 proof?
Supposedly it is from a different obverse die, with the date higher.
I have an 1843 attribution guide, where I tried to ID all the die marriages; your coin is listed in the roster for V-10u.
https://web.stanford.edu/~clint/hdag/index.htm
This one hasn't been sold since the '50s or '60s, according to the owner.
I haven't seen the Reed Hawn coin, although I'd like to see John Dannreuther's notes on it.

Bought from ARCO on eBay. Not usually a love token guy, but I thought it was pretty unique. His photos.
Interesting how the artist (or jeweler as the case may be) worked on the reverse as well.

My old 1873-CC quarter, before and after doctoring.
Doug
Can your doctor make me look that good? Sign me up!
Justin - That's really a neat item.
cecro - Nice coins, thanks for posting.
Doug - I think it's the same "doctor" that does Trump's hair and makeup.
