So I walked into my college town LCS today showing one of my recent coin purchases, and didn’t come expecting to buy anything. However I looked in...
The 1876-CC Seated Dime, besides possibly being the most affordable Carson City coin, is one of the most interesting Seated Dimes to collect by...
Looks like mine is the more common V-1… date is level throughout. V-2 has a downsloping date. V-1 has the left side of the base of the 1 level to...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Mine isn’t overly nice, but hey, I have one. Might want to upgrade at some point.
Right... in Louisiana the half dime circulated alongside the half real. They were interchangeable in value in local commerce, while the half real...
Congrats on your purchase and I see why this coin spoke to you. It may be an “impaired” Proof but the Proof qualities are still very much there...
I actually didn’t find any cat hair in the package! Seems like you tried pretty hard to keep it out. When I get back home in June I’m probably...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Got your half dime in hand @Bradley Trotter. Very happy with it! And if you caught me looking at old images of some of the...

I think it is a nice coin for sure. In the first set of photos with the closeups I saw some odd colors particularly on the reverse which likely...
I have a cleaned bright white VG 1896-O Barber Half cooking on a windowsill right now. Only been there for a couple weeks though.
Not the most I ever paid for a coin… but the most I ever bid was on a lot of four cull Draped Bust large cents on Ebay. One of them was a corroded...
If it seems that way it wasn’t my intention at all. Assumed Bradley knew what was going on when someone else immediately offered $45… and he said...
Looks like you got the 1800/1798 Large Cent. This is the only 1800 Large Cent to have the Style 1 Hair obverse.
I follow Bradley Trotter on Instagram and get updates whenever he posts new coins up - he posted up a bunch of coins today. Included in his new...
Always a joy to talk to you about Half Dimes and see yours posted here. I actually bought a new half dime today for the first time in I can't even...
