A Lousy Pic Of a Lovely Coin 1860 $1

NGC PF-63, a bright blast WHITE, the way they were made, and the way this stayed... no narsty toning.

Beautiful coin!  Amazing surface for one of that era.

Nice coin Dave!

And to think that Lincoln was alive when that coin was minted.......A truely nice coin!

I don't know about a lousy pic, since it looks like one of the nicest coins I've ever seen.

How to view the coin, please?

I'd say that there is no pic, but I might be wrong 

[ElleKitty]

No, you'd be correct.  The link to the photo is still there, but it looks like the photo was deleted from the webspace it had occupied.  So, there is no way to view the photo short of asking ScottishMoney / the real OIdDan to put it back up.

[Triggersmob]

I can see the pic OK.

[ElleKitty]

It's probably still in your temporary files, triggersmob.  I went so far as to follow the link that was posted, and it came up missing.

[scottishmoney]

Sorry, I had misnamed the file and it didn't correlate with the rest of the naming conventions of my files in the USA folder so I renamed it without thinking I had posted links to it here.  So modified the original post with the new file name.

Oh!  What a Nice coin.   It glitters like au.

That has less scratches than my lousy modern Chinese proofs 
About the photo - although maybe not perfect, it is good enough for showing the coin's quality. Looks a bit like it was taken through plastic (slab). That's always more difficult.

Beautiful coin.

Dear Friends:

I post a scan of rare Danish India 'Lead' coins.  Even in VG grade they are rare.

A very beautiful coin.

My old Seated Liberty dollars went on the sale block when I lost my job in the fall of 2005. I know what I got for them back then and they were not nearly as good condition as the jewel Scottishmoney is showing us. Those dollars, in that condition, do not come easily nor cheaply. That is a fantastic addition to any collection both in rarity and value. Great coin!

I have an 1859-O that is probably one of my worst dollar coins in my collection.  It is VG at the best.  It is with all my Morgans, circs all, CC's S's etc.  I think I am going to be holding off on buying more coins and banknotes for the time being, I think prices are going to go lower, and the parsimonious Scot in myself wants to hold out for a lower price on goodies.
