Very nice coin, I love when they actually have all the design details visible! It's a C1 variety and the planchet clip looks right.
That certainly clarifies what you meant, and I know you said it twice :) Just keep in mind, almost every week someone comes here with a low post...
That's great news that they think it's real! If this coin were mine, I would get in touch with a dealer who specializes in large cents as the...
Although copper coins can tone very nice shades of green, I do not believe either NGC or PCGS have a designation for green. It's red, red brown,...
Thanks for clarifying that for me, my head was spinning reading through all the die states for 213. What I don't understand about an...
Looks like a cud to me. The edge view picture is very helpful as it shows the cud as raised metal. If it was a fold over lamination it would not...
Coins are not an investment, I strongly urge you to reconsider.
Very interesting, and certainly not the s215 the seller is claiming it is. I agree it is obverse 2, the hair in relation to LIBERTY rules out...

If you draw a line between ONE and CENT horizontally, where that line crosses the leaf above the C in CENT, or a little above the line, there...
Well, once you put it that way I guess the comparison was pretty funny :) But they do have a lot of similarities, first and foremost the amount...
Congratulations on the pick-up, sounds like you are in the beginning stages of addiction!!!
Shows are one of the best places to go and view coins. The only way to get more comfortable with grading coins and spotting fakes is by looking...
I don't think most of us do, we just extend our collecting interests :) More seriously, I stay patient by doing research on the series I collect....
My grade was EAC, I think normal third party it's probably AU. I don't know how third party works on die varieties, but the weakness on the...
I would grade it 40 net 30 for nicks. Surfaces look very original, very nice color.
Trainwrecks do that.
Very cool S161, looks like state IX. For middle dates I have both the Wright book and the Noyes book and I prefer the Wright book. For the early...
