The best place to be as a collector. I hope the prices go up, but only after I have all the coins I need :)
Don't know if you are saying that's a small amount or a lot. Either way, keep in mind a lot of copper collectors don't get their coins graded....
Buy the coin you like the most and fits your collecting goals. That way, in 20 years, when neither of them have appreciated in price much you...
The big diagnostic for N23 is a spike down to the right through the T in United. I agree it does not look like an N25, which would have a point...
s76 a vs. b is edge lettering or plain edge. Either way, that's a nice clean example, sorry for the loss.
I think the first step is for her, or someone else in the family, to do an inventory. It's a shame her husband didn't, but it needs to be done if...
Condor, that is amazing!!! To the original poster, I think it largely depends on your collection goals and your post brings up the importance...

I have a nod in for the Encyclopedia of Early United States Cents. Although not alwasy the easiest to use for attribution, it has a lot of...
<br><br>Post away!!! I think you would be amazed at how little detail is needed to attribute some coins, that 1803 has plenty of meat. I have an...
Post away!!!
They are both S-71's, but mine has less than half the detail:) I am not very good at early date attribution, but I had just finished checking the...
Look familiar Eduard? [ATTACH] [ATTACH] This is my new pickup from the Baltimore show, just got it today.
If you are going to be there saturday the Early American Coppers club meeting is at 1PM in Room 317. Feel free to stop by, non-members are...
I don't understand the registry set bidding on new coins. No one has any idea what else will be found, I mean people are still pulling BU rolls...
Very nice pick ups, love the consistency of condition across the coins.
