Nice looking morgan in a Rattler. That cheek

A hammer, vise, flathead, and 10 minutes later, we got the 1852 Braided hair large cent out of the pcgs holder and straight into the album!

Just a little Carson City Dime

Neat coin with a rotated die.

The here have been very few times when I have considered “chasing” a coin because of the toning. This was one of them.

I picked this up the other day as an example for my type set. Yes, photo is of the exact coin. It’s in an ANACS holder and graded AU 55 - Full Head.

I’ve never been a standing liberty quarter guy, but then again, I very rarely ever see them in this high grade, or with this sort of eye appeal. Generally coins from this period had issues minting. For example, walking liberty halves also have quite a bit of trouble having good strikes.

I’m excited to try and get a higher grade example for my type 2 now! Or should I aim for a key date?

Great looking coin
