Very nice run!
Nice coins! Huh - it's interesting to me that the mint marks are in different places, and they are TINY.
Here's a later date:
My current "Box of 20"
Also interesting is that they're incuse. They couldn't be applied to the dies in the same manner as what we're accustomed to, with a mint mark punch. They'd have to be part of the hub that made the working dies.

It really is a great design

The coins shown in this thread are very very nice.
I sadly observe that between the pricieness and the number of fakes coming out of China, this is almost becoming another coin that you cannot safely purchase raw anymore.
Sweet !!!
Very nice group.

Beautiful!
What are the grades?
Gem 65 or better are very scarce in that series especially those not dated 1929 or 1930.

Very nice.
Hoard the keys.
Beautiful coins! This is one of my favorite designs.
I picked up one a few years ago and still need to get good pics for it.
The 1900-C is AU, and will probably come back cleaned. The rest are raw and look 62 to 63 to me when I compare with others I have. If one has a shot at 64, it's the 1909-B. Light field scuffs on the obverse seems to be the norm for these. Maybe I'll find a 65 for one of the 1930 slots in my collection. My 1929-B is a 63 and I have a 29/1-B in NGC 63 that'll be headed to our hosts along with a few others. It'd be nice if PCGS included the overdates in the registry. There are a lot of them for this series.

Here's my '29-B. It's just a 63, too

Nice group! Before reading this I suggested a British Trade dollar for a box of 20 on the US forum.
And I noticed there is a PCGS MS67 1907-B offered at Heritage's NYINC sale...

Wow! Only two 67s for the type at PCGS. It'll be interesting to see where that one hammers. I wish there were a TrueView in the pops for this one.

Nice high grade group. One of my favorite designs they even look good in lower grades.
it's crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide

Did you get them all from one source?
Yes. More to come, which I'll photograph tonight.

Where are the prime number dates - are you holding back the 1901, 1907, 1913 ?
Pacific Northwest Numismatic Association
Ha! I already have a 1901, the 1907 I'll photograph later, and I haven't bought the 1913 yet.

Here are a few more I got. Just a bunch of overdates:
1897/6-B
1907/7-B (OK, a repunched date, rather than an overdate)
1908/3-B
1911/00-B
1929/1-B
One more to post tonight.
