Most of what I want -- and can afford -- are really inexpensive. The problem is that they are SO inexpensive that no one sells them. Ones I find...
As I'm finding out with my Braided Hair Large Cents some Newcomb varieties are very difficult to impossible to identify in grades lower than AU....
Thanks to all who responded with Newcomb Numbers for these and the others I've posted the past few days. Now I can finish formatting them for...

Thanks for keeping at it. Now I can complete the picture. The question now is, can I get NGC to redo the label? I've already got a slab being...
