  • Hey if you went back in time say the 1800s and retooled it you could make it nice, now where did I put that time machine???

    Nice coin??

    Even excusing the heavy corrosion it is quite harshly cleaned.

    You'd think they would know better to title it as such.

    Let's put this way. If his tag line was "This coin really sucks image," would you open his posting to take a look at it?

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    I was gonna try to figure it out for you, then I saw that there are like 47 different 1798's and decided to let you do it instead. image

    Actually, I would out of curiosity. Unlikely I would bid on it though.

    corroded, cleaned but still a low end piece of history.


    there are ways to title something without trying for the full makeover on a pig.

    Firstly, as a Forum member I believe I am encouraged by others' example to believe that other members should do my work for me.

    Notwithstanding this general syndrome, while my needs are particular and precise, even if somewhat obscure, the information so obtained will surely universally inform and gratify. Also, I am sometimes a "special needs" coin person. I can reply 10 or 11 times to a thread until someone (anyone) accepts my perspective. Then I get worse. . image

    Perhaps instead you might throw me a bone and attribute an 1827 50c for me? image An Overton specialist's input might make you think twice. . image

    Say "Yes". It should be worth it to shut me up (briefly). . image

    This reminds me of the Mythbusters episode which showed that that it is indeed possible to "polish a turd"!

  • It's S-153. Notice the cud at the bust tip. Actually a kinda scarce variety and die state, but a "real nice coin"??? Nope.
