    Anybody buy the 1873-cc Seated Quarter out of the heritage auction last night. I was watching it, but decided to pass, I was #2 underbidder, only because if it would have went cheap enough, would have taken the risk to cross it. It was an ngc 55, obv was quite decent. IMO, obverse looked better than the Gardner 55 with all the spots. But the reverse had die deterioration and corrosion. May or May not have crossed, at least for me. And frankly, in today's market, if the coin isn't pcgs and cac, forget it, you will never get your money out stretching. If this coin would have crossed, it most likely wouldn't cac. It actually went cheaper than I thought overall anyway. it sold for like 44K where as the garder 55 went for like 73K or so.
    I would liked to have had the date, but currently, I want coins that have the wow factor!
    some years ago, I had some trouble getting rid of a 74-cc dime in similar grade with similar corrosion , dealer I ended up selling it too, down crossed it , to get rid of it, and still lost a few dollars.

    My current coin collecting interests are: (1) British coins 1838-1970 in XF-AU-UNC, (2) silver type coins in XF-AU with that classic medium gray coloration and exceptional eye appeal.

    Here it is: https://ha.com/1280*3038

    It would be interesting to know if it's crossed or not.

    I just discovered this - an 1853 Fortin-121 without the 121a cud on the reverse - it's apparently a die state
    of an R.7 variety that hasn't been seen before:

    Few are up to the task of attributing an 1853 dime or half dime!

    Plenty of people are up to the task, but very few bother.

    It looks lightly cleaned under the brown, waxy color.

    JBN - Nice looking half.

    Jim - My guess was that 73-CC had been tried more than once, without success.

    Regulated - Was that dime straight graded?

    Kkathyl - Good looking dollar.

    It's a PCGS XF45. Lustrous for the grade, but flatly struck.

    Yes love the look... it was between this one and another, but this one had a stronger strike and had the clashing... got it for a good deal too!😊

    Here's a newp for my attempted assembly of a PCGS XF45 "type" set. I didn't realize until the last few years just how hard these guys are to find with that classic medium gray toning and without a bunch of distracting marks and unattractive/splotchy toning. There are a lot of ugly, cleaned, scratched up dogs out there (even in "problem free" plastic). That's why I jumped on this one when I found it despite it being a common date in the series.


    My current coin collecting interests are: (1) British coins 1838-1970 in XF-AU-UNC, (2) silver type coins in XF-AU with that classic medium gray coloration and exceptional eye appeal.
