I would wait for other people more knowledgeable then me to weigh in, but I don't like the fabric of any of those coins and suspect they are...
Ancient coin grading to my mind is more akin to the way U.S. coins use to be graded, and still are by people like EACers. AU coins are almost...
Very nice coin OP, here is mine: [ATTACH]
100% fake, bow ribbon ends do not match placement to s8. Not even close.
Yes, get a safe deposit box and keep your collection there. It is by far the safest place to store a valuable collection. If you don't choose...
I am in agreement, the only possible combination is S-8, and I see enough differences in the serifs and the bottom of the bow to think it's not...
Yeah, i know that's the preference for most U.S. collectors, it was never mine and luckly still not for a decent chunk of large cent collectors....

While I can't speak to the degree of the influence, of course the assigned grade impacts them, we aren't moist robots after all.
A real brockage will have the image in reverse, letters and numbers included. This coin is not a brockage, as its impossible to get a brockage...
Just gonna through it out there, but Reiver wrote the book on late date large cents with Grellman, and it's his date position reference numbers...
Don't take this personally, but please don't make these types of comments off the cuff. This coin is obviously not a double denomination, so...
Think through the minting process, there is literally no way this came out of the mint with that strike. If it was feed into the dime press and...
You are correct. Every single denomination and year is worth much more than face value if found in high enough grade. With that said, the...
