NGC PF-63, a bright blast WHITE, the way they were made, and the way this stayed... no narsty toning.

Post by: ElleKitty on August 27, 2008, 09:18:38 AM: No, you'd be correct. The link to the photo is still there, but it looks like the photo was deleted from the webspace it had occupied. So, there is no way to view the photo short of asking ScottishMoney / the real OIdDan to put it back up.

Post by: ElleKitty on August 27, 2008, 10:43:53 AM: It's probably still in your temporary files, triggersmob. I went so far as to follow the link that was posted, and it came up missing.

Post by: scottishmoney on August 27, 2008, 12:04:35 PM: Sorry, I had misnamed the file and it didn't correlate with the rest of the naming conventions of my files in the USA folder so I renamed it without thinking I had posted links to it here. So modified the original post with the new file name.

About the photo - although maybe not perfect, it is good enough for showing the coin's quality. Looks a bit like it was taken through plastic (slab). That's always more difficult.

Dear Friends:

I post a scan of rare Danish India 'Lead' coins. Even in VG grade they are rare.

Post by: TwoShadows on October 11, 2008, 08:34:52 AM: My old Seated Liberty dollars went on the sale block when I lost my job in the fall of 2005. I know what I got for them back then and they were not nearly as good condition as the jewel Scottishmoney is showing us. Those dollars, in that condition, do not come easily nor cheaply. That is a fantastic addition to any collection both in rarity and value. Great coin!

Post by: scottishmoney on October 11, 2008, 01:17:33 PM: I have an 1859-O that is probably one of my worst dollar coins in my collection. It is VG at the best. It is with all my Morgans, circs all, CC's S's etc. I think I am going to be holding off on buying more coins and banknotes for the time being, I think prices are going to go lower, and the parsimonious Scot in myself wants to hold out for a lower price on goodies.
