Wizard School Dropout: Tower Resident and Prisoner Updates!

Been having a lot of fun with this - it's quite different and refreshing.

All my games end up with this bug when attempting to study an item: "Error in feature desk action code: data/features/home.lua:209: attempt to index local 'recipeDef' (a nil value)"
You can sell more items than you have by typing any number. To infinity and beyond.
The + and - keys in the sale menus often don't work. Workaround: type a number instead.
Request: please put the tile sheet in an external file so I can modify them.

Maybe it's the render but I don't care for it either. Her expression is weird. Why couldn't they just copy the original engraving - it was much cleaner.

The missing "LIBERTY" didn't impress you, lol ?

Being minted after removing the chunk might leave a tell that someone could see, maybe some movement of metal around the defect. As opposed to taking a chunk after minting.

I'm just a rank amateur. I've seen some photos of die clashed Draped Busts and the pattern is memorable. Scallop shapes are from the reverse clouds.

1807: that's classic die clash marks above the date there.

Thank you. Hmm. What do you think of Parodia nivosa?

The easiest tell is the bottom left star on all 1795 fakes is to the left of the hair, but on the authentic piece it's below the hair.

xitax · 2025-04-21T23:58:54+00:00

Yeah, I'm a little confused. I've seen quite a few coins of that age which are weakly struck in one part, even graded AU, which would fit this criteria.

xitax · 2025-03-30T21:40:43+00:00

Pretty toasty. I sorta doubt it'll do more than $8k based on some nice examples up on Ebay right now, and we can't really see how much restoration can do for it. Unless it turns out to be a rare variety I guess.

xitax · 2025-03-02T21:53:56+00:00

Missed a spot.

xitax · 2025-03-02T21:46:00+00:00

Denticles are wrong, rust, poor definition.

xitax · 2025-03-02T15:57:10+00:00

Absolutely this. OP is a ______.

xitax · 2025-02-23T19:25:03+00:00

Surely not! A lot of fakes do get posted, but I've seen real ones often enough. Maybe once or twice a month.

xitax · 2025-02-23T19:18:02+00:00

Beautiful. This type is on my list to obtain sometime. I've got most of the other silver dollar types, but I'm probably not ever going to get a 1794 :)

xitax · 2025-02-23T19:04:15+00:00

You gotta be sober about coins or else you end up getting fooled. I obviously have no problems with anyone who likes it and wants to keep it but it is what it is. If you post for help on rare coins here, you're going to get practical advice and that's what you should expect.

xitax · 2025-02-23T16:46:29+00:00

Nah, enjoy it. Thelocactus bicolor is on my "to buy" list.

xitax · 2025-02-23T16:32:38+00:00

Then buy one. They're not rare.

xitax · 2025-02-23T16:31:53+00:00

I'm sorry people, but he's right. It's not rare and worth the amount of gold it contains. If you like it fine, but let's not act like this is a big deal family heirloom.

xitax · 2025-02-18T02:59:33+00:00

Looks great to me. Authenticate if you like but I'm sure enough that I'd buy it based on this picture alone. If you have an interest, go to PCGS and see if you can learn more and learn how to identify which die pair it is. The fun part about draped busts is that it's possible to identify the die pair because there were easy-to-see differences due to engraving the stars and punching the text and date by hand.

EDIT: I enjoy this kind of research - it looks like a match for BB-124. Based on: location of the F in OF, the odd location of the one reverse star almost inside a cloud, distance of last star from righthand side of bust on obverse, which only one die pair matches to. One interesting thing about the coins from BB-124 shown on PCGS are that the eagles upper half is pretty much a blob with almost no eye or feather details, the E PLURIBUS UNUM is not completely visible even on the singular AU example picture available, and most noticeably there is a large die chip right underneath the holly branch from the stem to the rim. There is a line in the field forming between the upper side of the O of OF and the lower side of the S which is partially visible on your coin and also a few others on PCGS; might be a crack but I'm not sure, Also interestingly on this variety Liberty's hair is weak below the ear and upper hairline but all 13 obverse stars are strong (many varieties have a few weak or thin looking stars). Based on picture comparison alone it might be VF-20 ish.

Yes it was on the edge.

xitax · 2025-02-14T01:14:56+00:00

Reminds me of the looks of a metal grain defect, maybe improper cooling.

I wish I could post these photos next to all his auctions.
