Chapman 的钱币相册
S-2 R4+ Ex. Chapman (5/1885) Plated in NNP catalogue archives. Light chocolate brown obverse. Reverse slightly darker, looks UNC, containing several planchet voids or "drift marks" as Chapman called them, signifying impurities in the planchet that subsequently eroded away. Incredible example.
Sheldon 5. Very pleasing with no visible marks other than normal "background noise". No porosity, good color, a small planchet fissure behind the head, looks like a bit of extra hair. Few trivial rim nicks on the reverse. Probably the nicest S-5 I will ever own.
S-75 and about as perfect an AU-50 as there could be. Fabulous.
MS64+BN, CAC. ex. McAllister-Oakes. Source: Heritage. A great example of this Nichols Hoard variety. Perfect color and nice glossy surfaces. Unquestionably new.
S-287, R-2, Normal Date. EAC 60. CC #3 in Noyes. Breen Die State V, ex. James Mossman, Cardinal Collection. Rare "7-Digit Blue" holder. One of the difficult dates of the series, and the lowest reported mintage. Coin has nice original color and hints of original red throughout the reverse.
N-13, EAC 65+. Ex. Joshua collection, sold as PCGS MS64RD in 2008, and again as NGC MS65RD in 2014. Now PCGS MS65RD. Coin is amazingly well preserved. Luster is surprisingly strong. The color is very much red and hasn’t apparently changed at all from the 2008 auction photos. Thanks Stack’s Bowers, and thanks PCGS for the level cross!
EEPS. Very Cameo, Deep mirrors. Looks DCAM enough. Not your usual 1861 proof. A frost break across the cheek, but even for the type, one of the best and most proof like I've seen.
PR67RD OGH CAC Ex. Brian Wagner. A mesmerizing RED example with about 35 optimum viewing angles on either side! The obverse is about 95% red toned and has quite a bit of orange-peel surfaces and cameo frost with deep enough mirrors to warrant the designation. The reverse is untoned and looks like a lock 68+(+) with plenty of cameo contrast and near perfect surfaces. In hand and under a halogen light, this coin exemplifies the concept of dancing light, something that defies photography and exists only between the hand and the eyes of the viewer. Thanks, Brian!
PR67+RB, CAC. Source: Angel Dee's. Obverse is a beautiful, barely muted red color with just a splash of color near the rims, but the reverse center is as perfect a red as the day it was made, framed by darker red that fades into a rainbow at the rims. Perhaps the ultimate look for a copper cent!
MS68. CAC. Struck on Zinc coated Steel. Plentiful in this grade but still difficult to find "the right coin" at "the right price". This one has nary a mark on it and is beautiful to behold. The S-mint coins of this issue are the most likely to display semi PL surfaces and this one does not disappoint.
