@coinfrog your "old gal" is one of my all time favorite examples of an 09 S VDB. I'm dying to see a video of it.... I bet that toning really pops in real life! It's an excellent example of why I prefer some Lincoln cents in a RB vs. RD. It's so hard to find a 09 S VDB with that amount of "eye appeal" in a 64/65 RB. It deserves a CAC in my opinion.

Quote:The 1850-P Seated dollar is scarce in all grades. With a tiny mintage of only 7,500, Dick Osburn and Brian Cushing estimate that only 400 survived. Amazing dollar!  |

So many great examples - I'm humbled. @GERMANICVS - that Half Cent looks great (for her age). The chain cent obverse is rough, but the reverse has such a great example of period design. |

Key date in the Carson City GSA series (since there is only one 1889CC in a GSA hard pack which makes that date uncollectable)   |

joeturbo - Thanks, it's quite something to look at, appreciate your thoughts.
jfransch - A really super example, pushing 64.

thank you for your kind words Coinfrog. I was fortunate to put together a full set of GSA CC dollars long before they became so popular, and to keep them in the original GSA case.

An impressive undertaking I've not heard of before. Can you share some of these with us? I'm sure everyone here would be interested.

Yours looks a lot better than mine, which is probably MS60 or MS61 -- that's one problem ordering sight unseen directly from the GSA (bask in the early 1970s). I only have the early GSA CCs, from 1878 through 1885. The 78 looks like it has counting wheel damage, so it would be an UNC details coin. |

According to the Red Book, the Boystown 5 dollar gold commemorative has the lowest mintage of the series, so it may someday be the key to the series. United States -- 5 dollars, 2017:   |

Sorry about the poor photo. A 1928 Peace dollar has a mintage of 360,649 as they came from the U.S. Mint, but fewer than that have survived. So this coin is worth well over $200 even in the lower grade like G4.   Edited by cashhound

1844 Seated dollar: With a small mintage of only 20,000 and an estimated survivor rate of 1,000, the 1844 Seated dollar is the second most rarest issue of the 1840's.   |
