Low Ball Madness 的钱币相册
POP 1... Cherry Picked out of a junk box in an unattributed flip at the Conroe Coin Convention Jan 2024
Even though the holder has the Gold Shield, when looked up on the verify site it says "Standard Holder" and does not have a photo??
Another Gold Shield holder that does not have a photo!! At least this one shows it is a Gold Shield when looked up in the verify app, an earlier Gold Shield holdered coin in this set doesn't even reflect it is a Gold Shield holdered coin!??

Chased this coin over the course of at least 1 year, and finally bought it at the ANA Mid Winter in Colorado Springs in 2024. Thank you Chick for your invaluable assistance with this coin!!
Picked out of a junk box at the Hot Springs Ark Coin Show in 2021. This could be the "Poster Coin" for Low Ball Collectors, absolutely no Obverse details, and only the "CC" mintmark showing above Bow on the reverse. Seated Dime collectors immediately understand this coin to be a one year type, hence it doesn't need to have the date showing as it can only be an 1875! This was one of the high points at the Hot Springs show...
Bought raw from Jack Beymer in Feb 2022 and certified.
This is the "Famous" Charles Manske coin!! I ran across a story (Early 2022) about finding this coin in a recent roll search in the Gobrecht Journal which was complete with photos of the coin... I thought the coin had a good shot at grading a PR01, and I needed the coin for my Low Ball set... Contacted the author of the story, Charles and at first, he didn't want to sell as he was "Attached" to the coin and the story... Many months later he sold the coin to me... It didn't grade the Poor I thought it would, but made a FR2 which I was happy with... Funny story continued... Fast forward 2 years later to a coin show in Conroe, Texas and I'm sitting at a dealers table asking if he has any Low Ball type coins? The person sitting next to me turns and says; I know you!! I look at the person and have no idea who he is, and he introduces himself as none other than Charles Manske!! We have never met, and only spoken on the phone, and I believe he is from the Northeast!! What are the chances of this brief encounter more than a thousand miles from home??? Small world... Thanks again Charles... BTW.... I still think the coin should have graded a PR01...!
POP 1... Bought in an ANACS FR2 holder and cracked out and certified raw. I thought it had a really good chance (50-50) at down-grading to a PR01...
Bought in an NGC AG3 holder from Stacks Bowers in Sept of 2023. Crossed over to a PCGS AG3 holder.
