I gotta show this off somewhere. I got this sweet BF-15R at the Kagin's auction yesterday. This was a toughie, been looking for a good one for a while.
1875p - An extremely tough underrated date to find original problem free examples. Especially in circulated grades. I’ve owned this one for a few years now and have not needed to upgrade her . She is crusty original exactly how I like my TD’s

Nice.Now how about a reverse shot.............please of the I/II.
I’m terrible with pics . But I found this pic of here online which the previous owner had done. Trust me this is better then any pic I could ever do...
My only seated coin at the moment. I have a thing for any 1883 coins as its 100 years from my birthyear of 1983. This ony has a little weakness in the hair but I love the eye appeal.
Just picked this up yesterday at a local show: PF65 in an old PCGS slab. Now I need to figure out how to get some quality pictures of it. The toning is beautiful and the mirrors are deep and watery.

Interesting. Or just a lighting effect? Very curious.
It’s not the lighting.
The image on HA says it is invalid. Has it been removed? If so, wonder why?

One of my favorites!

You want to see some nice quarters, I stopped and looked at Darryl & Lens Seated quarter display In Baltimore, nice!

Regulated - Interesting what lighting (or Photoshop) can do.
Jim - Would like to have seen the display.

Low grade but tougher date.
Guess the grade.

Doug - Since I've seen it in hand, I can't guess the grade. It seems that's what our hosts did tho.

The 1843 half dime with bisecting reverse crack which Vern posted is the "newer" shattered reverse,
described by @MrHalfDime (Stephen Crain) in his 2015 article in Gobrecht Journal #122.
I called the above early/middle die state V-7u in my attribution guide.

There is a later die state V-7ua with horizontal cracks added.

My latest purchase. Only a PCGS 62, but for the price vs the aesthetic appeal of the coin, I feel like this is the holy grail grade (and the MS63).
61
Edit: forgot to say I LOVE IT.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
Low MS grades are where it is at! You still have two nickels to rub together and you often get a fabulous coin.
