1869 IHC

Thanks a bunch Bruce for the grade and info. Surface-graining might disguise a tiny carbon spot here or there, but that's about it on the marks, far as I can tell. Appreciate it.

And Dave, yes. And I got the 35mm negatives developed at Walgreen's.

J/K Brucester! Sorry about that. I was having a little good fun with our moderator and y'all. Took these shots with my trusty Canon PowerShot 500-S Digital Elph. Boy that's a mouthful, huh?

Tell ya the truth, I wish I still had that BS-II. Same with my old record player and circular-dial or whatever those were called telephone. Those were the days my friend.

Thanks for taking a look, Frank. Yes, I want to know what you think on that.

Dick, sorry for the long wait, but I still don't have my camera back. This is from an old file of the whole date. I just thought it wouldn't hurt if I uploaded it. It's obscure, but it's the best I've been able to do on that, given the graining.

Eddie,

I am almost certain that the coin is a Breen# 1977 (Snow-3)! Now, the question is, what will it grade?! It is really hard to tell with the Wood Grain toning but it appears to be a solid MS-63RB but might go higher. The Fourth Edition - Volume One of the CherryPicker's Guide which we all know is 8 years old, gives a value of $550 for the Variety in MS-63 and my' September issue of Coin Values gives a price of $1300. I found this one that sold on ebay for $695 but it is only an ICG EF-40!

I could not find a simliar one grade-wise that sold to get an idea of what they are going for! However, if you plan on selling it, you might want to wait until the Coin Market rebounds somewhat.

Eddiespin, Hello again! sorry about the delay, but things have been a bit hectic here, (the wife having problems), and I hadn't come back here until today.
On my camera, there is three holes on the end, one for the USB cable, one for the power kit, and one for the TV image. The only "hole" on the bottom might be where the batteries , and the stick RAM plug in. The fact that it goes "off" after such a short time, and also the lack of a remote shutter control, makes me think about getting another model, or brand. I use this feature a great deal, so (for me), it is very important.
Moderator, if you see fit, you may move this to Photography.
Eddie, If we need to continue this chat, (thread), the Photography section would bwe more apprioate.

Mucho thanks, DV, for confirming the variety classification and giving me that book value on a 63RB grade. :)
