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.
Ex: Eliasberg, OGH CAC. Silly Head, Newcomb 9 with the bisecting die crack. I grade it EAC 67.
MS65RB, Die 1, Fully Proof-like, First Strike, Die Stage A/A, PS. Perhaps the most interesting 1877 cent there is. I waited at least five years to buy this coin and then I waited another 8 months to get it crossed equivalently from NGC. It is the ONLY mint-state 1877 seen to date WITHOUT the reverse die clash above the O in ONE that essentially defines the reverse of both die pairings of this issue. Fully brilliant and at least ninety percent red. Actually looks full red under the light. Thanks Rick Snow for this wonderful unicorn of a coin.
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.
