Those LCC auctions almost never contain anything that interests me but when I saw this one and examined it closely, I really couldn't see why it...
I don't know much of anything on the topic of fractional currency but I couldn't resist this cute little 5 Cent piece offered at my local coin...
I gave CACG five coins for crossover at the FUN show and one for stickering. While none crossed or stickered, I did get the results within two...
Thanks for the clarification. I suspected that might be the case.
The two books previously cited are both great. I have both. But the New Jersey State Coppers, Siboni, et.al. c2013 has a new edition called the...
My bad memory, it was a Leeds & Northrup Conitel 2500 system.

I'll be there all 3 days. I can be found at my Local Coin Club table, 740, unless I'm wandering the bourse. I'll have a few of my coins on...
I excerpted this from my copy of Early Date US Large Cent Rapid Attribution Guide, Volume 1, 1793-1797 by Thomas Walker, c2020. Obverse and...
Well, I am into die states but that wasn't the reason for having four of the 1829 LM-7.1 rarity R-4. The details coin came super cheap in a GC...
I mentioned in an earlier post that I only bought one coin at this show. Photo'ed it this morning and here it is. I now have four examples of...
