I was using the seller’s pics. I will use mine shortly
I saw that one. I didn’t think I could flip it for much of a profit
I did an image overlay, and it matched S-121. Maybe @justafarmer can confirm?
You have historically given a lot of weight to minor rim damage, even though the TPGs almost never do. The cloudiness of the surfaces indicate an...
@Conder101 what do you think about my 1797?
This new arrival appears to be an 1797 S-121a large cent in Breen Die State I with a perfect die. The top serif of the B seems to have not yet...

And here, ladies and gentlemen, is the problem I mentioned above.
Really depends on the coin. These coins are both VF details. The first one (from Stacks) has a dig on the obverse, a couple edge bumps, and a...
I see an EDS S-213
This is the first thing I saw, then I was thrown for a loop when the question was about cleaning. I see extensive tooling and smoothing in the...
I know for certain it isn’t an 1893 S. The upright of the 1 should be squarely over a dentil. The last digit does appear to be expertly altered,...
And some were far more conservative when buying than selling to screw over collectors
