My best guess is that the double stuck portion of the obverse is there, but either it was struck out or just very hard to detect. Based on the...
Thanks for posting those picks of the 1803, good to know the fakes are still pretty bad.
Can you explain this a little more. Specifically what bad results can occur if you use xylol after VC?
I doubt anything is wrong with them. People are not bidding on them because he has them priced pretty high as a starting price. For instance,...
I would keep the 90% silver and convert the war nickels/40% half dollars to ASEs.
One more point, and I am not trying to beat up on you. I tend to think leaving a large/valuable coin collection to heirs is a bad idea. If the...
I would disabuse yourself of the idea that coins are an investment as quickly as possible. I know how attractive the 'I am not buying coins, I am...
Low feedback plus the picture from the ebay sale is the exact picture from the Heritage sale. Worth a shot at bidding, but in my opionion there...
You have better eyes than I do. Is the die chip on S38 lost in the corrosion here, or is the chip missing on the earliest state of S38? Now...
I second this approach. If you like it, buy it, it's why I have a gold necklace, or use it as a hedge against major economic downturns. But...

Now that I keep looking, I think it may be the S37. I really don't know, but pretty sure it's reverse M, with the single berry. Either way, the...
I take it either you are a very rich man, or you don't really collect large cents :)
Call me crazy, but the reverse looks like it's the reverse for S36/37/38. One berry left of the bow, nice even spacing on the bow tips around the...
I can see why you though obverse 26, but it's not. The missing dentil's do not quite line up. Plus, the S64 has a missing fraction bar, this one...
We are back to a more normal correlated return environment. Stock market moves up, precious metal, bonds move down. Money flows out of 'safe'...
Price is not based on age, it's based on supply and demand, there were 25 billion wheat cents minted vs 2 billion indian head. Last point to...
No, they are a horrible investment, even given your very generous estimates for future value. If they go from $0.05 to $0.15 in the next 35 years...
