Dirty silver FH dollar

RYK · October 14, 2012 5:48AM

Not my coin, but I saw it on Gary Adkins' site, and I really like the look.

I think I like it better than mine:

Partial trade plus cash?

I can't imagine Mr. Adkin's wouldn't want to work it out with you if you were so inclined.

pursuitofliberty · October 14, 2012 6:11AM

Oh, indeed ... that one is a looker for sure. Of course, yours isn't to shabby either.

I agree with braddick, partial trade plus cash could be worthwhile if you like it that much more

Any (real) flowing hair dollar is a good dollar!

michiganboy · October 14, 2012 6:15AM

I like it better too

RYK · October 14, 2012 6:15AM

Good idea, guys!

RYK what's the difference in grade?

RYK · October 14, 2012 7:25AM

They are both 20s, but mine is CAC'd. Mine looks better in hand than the FeldView photo.

Gary's has more meat. Meat over sticker every time.

I politely demand an in-hand comparison.

RYK- Yours is a very nice 2 leaf BB-20 vs. the 3 leaf BB-27 which is much more of a common variety. Both are beautiful coins though! However I do like the way the toning makes the 3 leaf FH profile pop. It's a win/win IMO. If I was in a position to upgrade my F-15 I would make an offer on yours. It is quite nice. Good luck!

I like the look of the image of the new one rather than the one you already own. It's got a lot of beef on it. But, that's just the image we're talking about. If there are no issues with the new one in person, I'd go for the better look, and more beef.

DonDebbie · October 14, 2012 8:59AM

Both are really great (and look to be original) coins. I also prefer the 2-leaf variety. Here is my VF-25 to compare--

braddick · October 14, 2012 11:53AM

Just for fun, here's mine:

This is a nice coin!

Anyone who doesn't like the look of the one on Adkins' site really needs to have a good explanation. That coin is just, plain yummy!

mkman123 · October 14, 2012 1:09PM

all of the coins posted are awesome!!

Here you go Rayman311. Yours is a beauty!

They are all great!

BryceM · October 14, 2012 2:29PM

These are all fantastic. It's been a dream of mine to have one ever since I got back into coins. A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to find one that I liked. This coin has made an appearance on the forum before, but she came to live with me for a while. How's this for an impressive clash?

impressive enough to do this!

Another nice job with the clash overlay Lance!

ty

as dry as numismatics can be, at least the way i practice it; i do so try to add a splash of art from time to time, or at least my interpretation of numismatic art

great thread

here's mine (and (shameless plug) it's for sale, PM if interested)

jayPem · October 14, 2012 6:40PM

I really love this one ! (Bryce M)
I think I'll have to hold out for a clasher myself...

lordmarcovan · October 14, 2012 9:45PM

Just for fun, here's mine.

Oh, wait a sec. I don't own one.

BillJones · October 14, 2012 10:46PM

Here is a three leaf variety that was in my collection for many years. I never minded the adjustment marks, but they made it harder to sell the coin when the time came.

And here is the piece that I have for the type, a two leaf variety piece.

One of the challenges with these coins is that all but a couple of the die varieties are not sharply stuck. For example the second piece I posted as a little mint luster inside some of the letters, which would suggest EF-45 instead of EF-40, which it is graded. The trouble is the coin does not have enough "meat" to qualify for the higher grade. I almost did a trade for a sharper one, but when I put the two coins side by side, I didn't think that the extra detail was worth the additional money (several thousand dollars) that I would have had to pay to make the deal.

CoinRaritiesOnline · October 14, 2012 10:51PM

This is my favorite one:

LoveMyLiberty · October 15, 2012 7:13AM

This is a two leaf variety B-1, BB-21 . The die engraver entered the date as "1195"
and then corrected it by sinking a "7" over the second "1". It can still be seen next
to the seven.

ok, it's removed now.
