Aside from the brockage errors that I posted in the error forums I also managed to acquire 3 significant upgrades to my collection, all 3 from the Doug Robins Collection

one is already graded, 1854 1/2p crosslet 4 in MS64 (shown bottom of post) and 2 raw.

I am so pleased to be able to own these pieces of history,

For evaluation:

Doug-Robins-Dragon-Slayers

For show:

The top one looks amazing. The strap on the chest, the crown and cornucopia on the obverse all show no signs of wear, and the fields look free of major marks. I'd say probably MS-64 (large 2)

The second one, I'm not sure about. There may be a little wear on the chest-strap and helmet, and the fields look a like they may be grainy. I'd say AU-55 or MS-60/62 depending on whether the peaks show wear in hand and whether it looks cleaned under a magnification. But nice coin, and neat die crack in ONE ... is that a documented variety?

Those are really nice Wade! Those are all nice MS in my opinion.

I like the reverse die cracks and grainy fields on the obverse of the second one. I think that makes the token more interesting. Is that one a Courteau #170? I'm just guessing at that based on Courteau's description. Doug will know for sure.
