Finally, said goodbye to the people I meet and ended up picking an 1849 N11 die g, with reverse cuds along the bottom of the reverse, from Gary...
Spent the rest of the night at the bar meeting other people and checking out some sweet coins. The large cent happenings included the 1846 N15...
1852 N11 die e with reverse cud over 'TES O', 25/15 which puts it bottom of around 20 known: [ATTACH][ATTACH] Last up from the Auction was a 54...
Just got back from my first EAC convention, quick weekend trip with the family so I spent one day at the show and one day at the falls. Got into...
I can also confirm, I had one **** of a time attributing my new s89 last night until I realized that the picture of the S88 was really an S89 :)
Very nice coin, it looks like a S254 to me as well. The 3 is not really inbedded in the drapery like on a 244 or 245, you can actually see the...
I attended and won a couple lots. I will have a post up in the next couple days with pictures of what I won, and what I bought off...
I just went back and looked at some auction catalogs and my grade was way to low. It's sharpness is at least a 20, maybe more. I do have a...
I have actually never used Newcomb, how different is it? Do you run into problems attributing varieties which were added in Grellman?

Some people grade early american copper by the EAC standards which give two grades(three if you count condition). The first grade assigned is for...
The 1803 looks like a S245 to me. The 3 is imbedded in the drapery, so that narrows it down to the 244, 245, or 261. The point of leaf by the...
I don't like to have my coins entombed in plastic. I am with cole, when I buy graded coins they are freed shortly after. I do not pay a premium...
I see you took your understatement medication today :) I find with copper I can either get the color pretty accurate or the contrast/details...
Thanks for sharing, and I bet seeing it in a 65 made you lose your appetite. One more confirmation that the TPG grade inflation is alive and...
Very nice photo. I love the amount of contrast you have which can be hard with copper. I particularly like your use of a single light from above...
Medoraman, I agree that if the knowingly keep coins in an internal reject bin then it's a problem, but that is not what they do. I have never...
I will sell my collection, if my kids are interested in the coins they can bid at auction against other collectors. I want my coins to go to...
Very nice 93 cap. Low grade with nice surfaces is hard to find!
Is the date readable on the S1 you picked up? My guess is you lost money on the reingraved coin.
