I like this trade, it is an S mint, has some chop marks, i just like it...1876S, I believe it is Type II/II. If someone can confirm this, i would appreciate it. Hopefully the pics are clear enough to make that determination.
I wanted to submit it, but under the lights, i see that it will get Details-Cleaning, oh well...thanks rln

You are correct, your coin is a 76-S Type 2/2 Micro S. On the obverse, note that Liberty has four fingers underneath the branch (as opposed to three on Type 1), and that the ends of the scroll with 'Liberty' are pointing down as opposed to left. And yes, it would get a Details, Cleaning grade if submitted, but chopped Trades aren't all about numerical points, they're artifacts from a bygone trading era, and each one is unique!
@ricko said: @JBK.... That Churchill medal with the Navy stamp is great.... Would love to find one like that. Being former Navy and an admirer of Churchill (and a collector of Churchill quotes and items).. that would have definitely been in my collection. Let me know if you decide to let it go.... Cheers, RickO
If Kennedy had not been assassinated would have this Franklin ! I guess I should state this is a Dan Carr fantasy date but with coin you can imagine it didnt happen
Here is something completely different but I'm kinda copying a member here as
I just love his idea and designs. The bottom frame does have one more hole in it, just couldn't fit it in my camera lens
It is a "mock up" as I do have the top (3) 1.5 ounces. But need 3 more of the one ounce Daniel Carr Lesher/Humbert.
These are Daniel Carr silver frames from the coins. 3 are for 1.5 ounce octagonal and the other frame can fit 6.

One of my favorite weirdos, Judd-1779a - a brass dies trial for the 1907 low-relief $20 Saint. Roll cancelled at the mint - now that it's in a prong holder, you can see the lettered edge, which just adds to it's odd charm...

TLeverage, Thanks for the help and info. I did not know about the micro S. Yes, I do appreciate the history of the chop marked coin. Thanks rln
Just because I'll probably never own one.................

Here's a coin (GSA 1882-CC ungraded) I like and I can't explain why.....
Grading would ruin the fun.
I caught a little of the 23 next to it to compare the color. The pic does absolutely no justice to the color. But it's cool.
Because it is heavily worn yet rich in character, and rare........

I could sit her and like a lot more.
Recent auction purchases. The Half was the only US coin in a lot of foreign coins.
