Kenny, PM'd you.

Kenny, the pickles were to die for. When the time comes, PM me if you can ship a jar or two.

What happened about taking long walks

It is interesting to me that a coin site has such interactions. It is also interesting to me from a social perspective. Hope all is well with everyone regardless of your opinions.

Thanks to all, including the SSDC. Just a benefit of doing die studies.

Just arrived today. Long story. But glad I finally have it.

To my knowledge no one has done a die study of the 1899-Os. Bigbub has been studying the 1900-Os, but likely can't answer your question. It would take a die study of both years mintage. Since they are both large mintages, likely the answer to your question may never be answered.

Looks kinda small. Can you out a tape measure up to it?

The 2nd one looks like, well, some sort of manhood thingie.

I will reinforce what Ray said. At least that what it looks like to me also.

Wonder why the guy opening the bag didn't wear gloves when handling the coins?

Kurt, sorry to come in so late on this. There is a very long story which I won't get into. But the bottom line is I don't have my 1904-O Reference Set available to check any of this with my coins. But your observations seem sound, as do your photos. Maybe one day when things settle down. Hope all is...

I think that is the whole point of a FORUM is it ? To throw out ideas and thoughts and see what
other peoples opinions are.

Guess I was just sharing my opinion.

Whatever happened to "buy the coin, not the holder"? If you care about CAC stickers, then great. If not, then great. Why start a thread about it? But I get we are all likely stir-crazy.

Guess I should post this in Lloyd's memory. A little piece of history so to speak, as others have done.

John, does this link to a NGC 61 example help? Note the much stronger die scratches below Liberty's capfold.

For what it's worth, and likely not worth much, the die pair comes with and without the cracks. Both with cracks and without cracks have the same beveled fields on both obverse and reverse. Here are my notes from reviewing over 1256 coins in AU50 and up in grade. "The primary characteristics of this...

Ray, that is what happens when you do a continuous die study on 83-Os for 15 years

I guess the curmudgeon is coming out in me. But can anyone explain to me why would I consider this thread important?

One mans "significant rim break" is another mans "die poop". Leroy may list this type of thing today, but then again, why? I mean, why have every darn die stage/state listed? Does this really help the hobby? Does it increase the value of a coin? Or, is it just the same die pair that isn't worth anyt...
