More of a common BF-16 newp, just arrived and imaged:
1875-S Double Dime PC30 (BF16)
Although R1, it is kind of nifty due to the die cracks and S/S or $. For those of you tracking rotated dies (which is prevalent for this date), it (maybe) might be close to 10% or so counterclockwise.
EDIT: Addition of close-up imagery from @JeffMTampa's macro set-up
MPD in the dentils
S/S or "$" RPM

A Barber Quartet is made up of Nickels, Dimes, Quarters, and Halves.
1840-O WB-14 (R5) PCGS XF45 - I finally found a WB-14 that would straight grade (it's already graded), and this XF45 even helps my registry grade score. Unfortunately, it's an early die state that lacks die breaks. If I have it attributed (it's supposedly an R5), it will become the plate coin for the die marriage, replacing a nice late die state XF40 that has all the diagnostic die breaks for this DM. Well, at least the variation will be apparent in two top examples for the DM on Coin Facts.
This 1861-S VF20 fills a slot but hurts my registry grade score. Or maybe it's all those damn "details" coins ...
These GFRC photos are the first photos I have for this 1856 half dime graded ANACS MS62 in an OWH. It has some nice iridescent toning, particularly in the SW quadrant of the obverse.
Ive always wanted a proof to go with my business strikes for my type set. This one I just couldnt pass up.
(The large scratch by the shoulder is on the holder...)

Nothing is as expensive as free money.

These aren't new - I've just been re-imaging my collection.
Does anybody have a nice 1873 Arrows or 1874 Arrows in a PCGS VF or XF holder that they would like to sell? PM me if you do - thanks!
