Bikergeek CBHDs with Major Varieties 的钱币相册
R2. Saw this on Heritage and fell in love, so I determined to win it. It replaces an MS63 in this marriage that was a fine coin. I can't imagine improving over this coin--for me, it's the total package.
R3. CAC. Snapped up from US Coins when it hit eBay, to replace one that didn't cross. Cartwheel luster abounds.
R3. CAC. From David Lawrence. An early purchase, I wasn't sure how I felt about this one at first. But as I've been educated by those more experienced, and as my tastes develop, I have grown to love this one. Dramatic smoky toning provides a contrast for the gorgeous luster, and all of it accentuates the strong strike. The bit of chatter (which is probably what kept it from Gem) isn't noteworthy to me.
R2. This is one of two marriages known as "3/inv 3" due to the 3 in the date having first been punched flipped on its vertical axis, then corrected (together, the punches would make it look like an 8). As a Redbook variety, it's in demand. When I spotted this on Harlan J. Berk's site, I decided to upgrade my colorful and crunchy AU58. I'm a sucker for color, but I also like "+" coins.
R3. CAC. The LM-5.2 is by far the more common of the two remarriages. Bought this as an NGC 64 and it crossed as a 63. Although it's got a great original look to it, I can accept the 63 due to some scuffs on Liberty.
R2. From eBay in an NGC MS64 holder. Cracked and submitted raw. I was pleased that PCGS saw the Gem quality!
R1. CAC. Ex Meaney via Perkins. Soooo common (and seems even more so to me due to its simple attribution). I was happy to get a nice set piece with provenance to my friend Richard Meaney so I could stop looking at all of them online.
R4. CAC. "Only" an R4, but not easy to find'em like this! Ex Jim Mathews, ex Dave Perkins sale of 2014. Acquired from Coin Rarities Online. This was on the cover of the December 2006 Coin World Coin Values magazine, which featured capped bust half dimes: "Value-packed, Historical, Surprisingly available." Credit to Richard Meaney for informing me of this; he contributed coins and expertise to the article.
R1. CAC. Ex Chuck Link. Lovely coin that I had to stretch for a bit, as '37s in Gem are precious. No regrets!
