jelida Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 OK so they're not special, but here are my offerings from the Midland Coin Fair, an F77 and 1899 wide date. The former will fill a gap for the time being. Jerry Quote
Nordle11 Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 Still nice Jerry, the patina looks good on the F77. Although I thought buying coins to upgrade later was a no-no Quote

jelida Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 Just spent half an hour sorting my tub of ex circulation 1899 pennies. The result is as follows. BP1899Aa. 8 BP1899Ab. 30 BP1899 Ac. 5 7 coins unidentifiable. The first two figures are somewhat at odds with Michael Gouby's estimation, but does demonstrate the relative scarcity of the widest date. Jerry Quote
PWA 1967 Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 Was the 1899 sold as one Jerry or was it one of your other good finds . The F77 is nice also Quote
1949threepence Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 Your F77 is superb, Jerry. Really nice looking coin. Quote
Peter Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 The F77 maybe upgraded but it would still be a keeper. IMO Nice coin. Quote

loose54 Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 Thanks! It is the best one I have ever seen personally by quite some way. Previously the best I had seen was the LCA one that sold recently (they graded it as VF)! Quote
