If the greysheet doesn't list the exact variety then I would say it is useless anyway. Every variety has a rarity estimate, 4-E is an R3 variety,...
I have no idea how the greysheet lists them, but a 4-E would be a club ray variety.
Huh, I never noticed that before but had to check. That's the way the coin was designed but does seem odd.
One little niche of my collecting are the 1640 countermarked douzains. They were revalued with a fleur de lys counterstamp, and had a higher value...
You killed it on that 1804!
Well, maybe if I find a 1793 Liberty Cap and a 1799 Draped bust metal detecting, I'll spring for the 1804!
I've stalled out with 6 to go in my large cent set. I think three more are obtainable, then I think it is over!
Heat causes the outer clad layer to separate and bubble up.
Definitely post pictures, but don't get your hopes up! There is one original and thousands of reproductions. You can first take a look at the...
It doesn't seem nearly large enough to be a Continental Dollar, will be interesting. Good luck!
Very nice, I have a very similar accumulation, but none of mine are slabbed. I am quite fond of the earlier issues and have a fair collection of...
I don't have one but have known about them for years. They at least used to be pretty well known, along with the "opium" Trade dollars.
It does resemble that, but I don't see how it would hit the entire rim and not damage the high points on Roosevelt. Is the reverse normal?
Not unusual, it is supposed to stick to a magnet!
Steel cents should weigh around 2.7. If the scales are correct then it is a little on the heavy side. Most likely a slightly thick planchet.
Very interesting. It seems the the most important quality of a candidate during this period was not his qualifications, but who would offend the...
Is there corresponding damage on the reverse?
No, sorry to say, there is absolutely no twisting motion when a coin is struck. The dies are fixed and do not move in relation to each other....
I love the three cent nickel series, those tough ones always scare me away though, well done!
I've dug quite a few live ones, but I live in a rural area with a lot of hunting.
