    Kevin, you certainly didn't skimp on any of your 1899 year set coins. Great stuff !!

    Fantastic!

    I have no idea why people buy high grade red Indians in new slabs....that's crazy to me.

    But this red blazer in an OGH is the bee's knees.

    Beautiful coin - everything going for it - OGH, EERC-PS and CAC. image



    This is the one I had in my collection - sure wouldn't mind having it back!

    Beautiful IHC.... both of them.... hard to believe there are still IHC's that look like that.

    Of course, if it were a silver coin, everyone would say 'dipped'....and often be wrong too.

    Cheers, RickO

    Gorgeous lustrous piece you have there!! What type of work do you do that's so boring?

  • MarkMark Posts: 3,561 ✭✭✭✭✭
    That coin is stunning. 116 years old and it looks like it could have been minted yesterday. Of course, given the generation of the slab, it couldn't have been encapsulated yesterday. But it sure looks like it could have been minted then!!

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    Thing looks like it can lessons to a proof strike. Nice.

    I wish I could carry my coins with me at work. I'm afraid one of my students would steal it.

    Great coins guys,

    Hard to believe a cent's original color can be saved for 120 years such as that.

    And I thought half red was cool to have.
