I gotta show this off somewhere. I got this sweet BF-15R at the Kagin's auction yesterday. This was a toughie, been looking for a good one for a while.
1875p - An extremely tough underrated date to find original problem free examples. Especially in circulated grades. I’ve owned this one for a few years now and have not needed to upgrade her . She is crusty original exactly how I like my TD’s

Has anyone seen a doctor?
Interesting. Or just a lighting effect? Very curious.
It’s not the lighting.
The image on HA says it is invalid. Has it been removed? If so, wonder why?

One of my favorites!

Stupid - What a beauty. It deserves more than one showing.
Doug - I can see why. Great to have you back.

You want to see some nice quarters, I stopped and looked at Darryl & Lens Seated quarter display In Baltimore, nice!
would kill to have that 73-cc
Regulated - Interesting what lighting (or Photoshop) can do.
Jim - Would like to have seen the display.

Low grade but tougher date.
Guess the grade.

Doug - Since I've seen it in hand, I can't guess the grade. It seems that's what our hosts did tho.

The 1843 half dime with bisecting reverse crack which Vern posted is the "newer" shattered reverse,
described by @MrHalfDime (Stephen Crain) in his 2015 article in Gobrecht Journal #122.
I called the above early/middle die state V-7u in my attribution guide.

There is a later die state V-7ua with horizontal cracks added.

My latest purchase. Only a PCGS 62, but for the price vs the aesthetic appeal of the coin, I feel like this is the holy grail grade (and the MS63).
61
Edit: forgot to say I LOVE IT.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
Low MS grades are where it is at! You still have two nickels to rub together and you often get a fabulous coin.
