Newp 1847-O NGC VF-25 CAC
Only 16 CACs for all grades. Some small lines on face, but they did not bother me much. The rarest O mint $5.

    I like the look of this coin quite a bit. Wish the lines not there but still really like it.

    I feel the same way about the lines vs overall appearance.

    Could that be a planchet issue vs. marks? NGC/CAC didn't seem to mind.

    It is not that life is short, but that you are dead for so very long.

    Well I like that one, very scarce. Best I could swing was a 42O in 20.

    I do appreciate the really old and lower-grade coins that sticker. They took some punches but no one used them as a science project.

    Nice coin, good quality for an album.

    This is a really nice 1842-O you have! Very few have the original look like this one!

    Interesting question. Can't really say.

    I think it would give me a coronary to crack it out to do it, but it would look nice in an album!

    Plus no clearly detectable chemicals! Thanks!
