This lot looks to be not too bad....
Don't do it... You'd be better off going on eBay and buying an uncleaned lot, coins that ACTUALLY need cleaning rather than pleasantly patinated...
Correct, but at least with a search engine / written word you have the option of interpreting the information for yourself. "Answer bots" do the...
Robert Epstein, a psychologist I really have enjoyed reading the works of, called the way search engines manipulate the mind 'Search Engine...
Good photos, but it looks like it was in an aggressive crimping machine as stated above. The displaced metal is a key sign of damage. Keep looking!
Depends... Are we talking about KNOWN mintages? If so, and the requirement is that it was issued by a government, it would likely be the 1891...
Not quite serious enough to be a BIE cent, but it is approaching it. Good catch. Keep an eye out for these, they are pretty cool!
Exceptional! Definitely more costly than my vehicle at the moment. These are three hard-to-hit criterion for coins of this age, it appears. You...
I saw this one too. ID'd the variety but clearly not what he claims it to be. It's bad enough that it is obviously circulated and scratched with...
Sounds like a die chip. Likely no added value, unless it is REALLY large. In all likelihood, it is only worth 25c to 50c. Wait for other...

Interesting, I looked under the scope but I'm not seeing the MPD. Which is unfortunate! Here is an image. [ATTACH]
You say that now, until you get pretty much every date from change and then only the 'biggies' are left... which is where I am at right now :)
Any day you can get a wheat cent for 1c is a good day! I haven't gotten one in a while now.
I debated sharing this to the world coins board, but chose not too since I thought we would get more eyes here. I really like that, I didn't know...
Very nice, Randy. I like the 3 cent a lot, I've thought about picking up a proof one, but I haven't had one fall into my lap... yet :) The half...
hmm, I don't see anything in the denticles but I should take a bit to research.. You have my curiosity piqued.
Very lovely, Ron. I think the 1891 really stands out from the other two you have shared. I also really like the GIF format you have, showing the...
Hi all. I've long had interest in 19th century proof coinage but for a long time they were out of my budget. I saw this coin (my profile...
