Obverse VF20…Reverse XF40. Very nice coin!
@Bob sap …the first thing to do when you suspect doubling is check Wexler and Variety Vista for a match. If you had done this you would have...
UPDATE: Because only the “C” and “S” of CENTS are broken, mine is FS-904.
Purchased this 7Jun25. Obvious hard life but still substantial detail. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] For unknown reasons I had to shim the right side to...

Not really a “shame” since holing coins and putting stout twine or wire or a small chain in a loop to safeguard while traveling was a prevalent...
I was there with you, had to look it up. The following is for everyone: Technically, it is a Half-Disme, and yes, that’s the correct spelling,...

NumisMedia/FMV lists 1883CC MS63 for $384.00USD, a fair base price. The OGP and COA should give a bump in value but, alas, it doesn’t seem to...
Doesn’t look like a Flared G to me. Looks battered from circulation.
Coin shows, Coin clubs, person to person or even here on CT. Members here would tell you the truth and get you a fair price based on all the...
@green18 is right because they are both borderline value candidates. The 1893 is approx $185 and the 1895-O is near $375-400. Adding grading,...

They’d have to pay me to take that coin!
