I actually think if the cent U.S. cent becomes obsolete it will push down the prices of the series as a whole in the medium term. The only...
You didn't break protocol, just not a lot of half cent collectors here, or anywhere for that matter :) I would say around vf 30 by EAC standards,...
Nothing special, it's a common overdate, although it looks like it has decent surfaces. I think 50 is a pretty fair price. If early copper is...
I'll second the S-196 for the same reason, the second 0 is high which is diagnostic for the 80/79 varieties.
buy some of this:...
It's not a good deal, but it could be worth doing if you want to pay for convenience. Otherwise, if all you want is a bag full of common date...
Owe, I pay!!! And I owe taxes come April 15th almost every year so none for me.
Sounds like an electrotype, that's the bad news. The good news is that they are still collectable, particularly if it's a rare variety. I would...
I don't think the weight on these is particularly consistent from coin to coin, but somewhere in the range of 140 grains, or 9 grams, was typical....
If it has obverse and reverse diagnostics of a known variety I am inclined to agree it's probably real. It's the same way with large cents, most...
G5 in scudzy has a book price of $400. Found a pretty decent comp at Heritage, corroded with damage:...
I know man made damage like that kills a coin value, much more so than corrosion, but I think there is a nice profit in that coin still. I'd call...
If it were me I would leave it as is. I don't think there is much of a premium between MS60 and MS63 so whatever it comes back as will not matter...
I will second the advice to look at a lot of coins and take your time. Remember that nice coins will still be available in the future :)
It's an scarce variety at R3, but it does not bring a premium. Not worth slabbing, and in general most early copper is not slabbed. A lot of the...
I am not too familiar with values, but I would put this in the couple hundred range, maybe $300 or so. It's got great detail but heavy corrosion,...
1800 half cents only had one die pairing, and it's common. Seems like you are pretty interested in the early copper, an area I love as well....
+1 on S-166 and I agree with Mike for grading, it's got great xf detail but I would net it down to vg with that corrosion.
So those are both small 6, of which there are three varieties. With a stemless reverse it's C-1 and the most common. If the reverse has stems it...
What, no half cents in there, try to find a no pole 1796, or any 1796 for that matter
