I'm at Lakeland now. Knew I should have gone yesterday! Nice coin.
I don't find it in my Snow either. It's the Large Letter, Low Leaf Obverse. But I don't see a doubled or dramatically repunched date listed.
And others: right of U, between tip of olive branch and lowest arrowhead. In photos, none of them seem really bad so maybe this coin is on the...
About 7 out of 10 show dealers I buy from volunteer a receipt. Of the remaining 3, 2 of them will give a receipt if asked. The last one is...

All of the genuine 1827s use the same obverse. That is why the date is the same on all genuine pieces regardless of when struck. This obverse...
Absolutely correct @KBBPLL. The genuine one on the right is the 1827 B-2, Late die state. Characteristic is the rusted die marks at the date and...
That is often true where the real one is more or less common. But I don't think it would be the case for a 1827 quarter. They are so rare (R-7...
It is not the B-1 nor the B-2, the only two die marriages for the year. Neither obverse nor reverse are correct. Reeded edge is correct for this...
A few years ago a dealer showed me his dateless 1916 SLQ in a PCGS slab graded P-01.
I agree. The flow lines around the periphery with the stars drawn to the rim give it a look that's unique and offsets the rim mushiness.
It's a fake. The whole look of the coin screams it. But on a more fact-based basis: The obverse is clearly taken from the BB-51 obverse. That...
45. The weakness at PLURI is most likely due to a bulged die although someone more experienced with this series than I might have a different...

Very nice research and write-up. I also looked for a FC for some time and finally got this one. It is what I chose as my Hard Times Token for my...
Greysheet lists individual pricing for all 13 by Cohen numbers in G4 to AU58. They have a separate listing for 5 varieties by generic description...
I think it's graded 45 but I think it's very possible it's really a 40.
Here is a somewhat unique LS dime: It's the 1853 No Arrows variety, minted in the early months of the year before the With Arrows, reduced weight...
If you don't want to spend the money on the Snow books, the Whitman book on Flying Eagle and Indian Head Cents is very informative on many matters...
I don't recall ever seeing the Shallow N/Bold N listing on a PCGS or NGC label. PCGS lists these as Die Varieties in Coin Facts. I suspect that...
