NGC calls it (O) medium letters. PCGS calls it (O) reverse of 38. Thanks for posting the description, Insider. I should have done that! As I...
xf40 - pretty hard to find. An Early New Orleans mintage. Weak obverse strike perhaps around Liberty's head. What do you think? Original...
My bad on that one - the 2000 survival rate - turns out that the estimate of surviving small date 1820's. Their estimate for large date survivors...
Wait a minute - I saw a 64 PR67 go for $29 on ebay yesterday? What....... the.......? Oh, but it wasn't a D. Weird coin.
And - a quick check of 1821 pennies - a non-hoard year - shows double the survival rate (even though 1820 was a high mintage year) and almost no...
Interesting point and I'm sure that the majority haven't been slabbed - however, would you deny that certification percentages aren't at a least a...
From what I gather - around here and other places where it's discussed, crackouts seem most common in MS and maybe AU grades. I once cracked an...
Further muddle. Ironically, PCGS estimates 2000 coins surviving and only 50 of those over ms60. Apparently this bears no relationship to the...
What you say is true I'm sure, but certified small dates are pretty unusual in comparison to large dates. There do seem to be plenty of raw ones...
SuperDave - thanks, I noticed that there are very few small date 1820's for sale right now on the most common lists. Ii found one website that...
Ok. Thank you for taking the time to check that out. I looked up the Randall Hoard. No wonder there are so many mint state copper coins from...
Excellent - kind of what I was thinking. Since I know so little about early copper, and you and others have helped me make some good decisions...
Yeah, that seems likely. As some of them do have CAC stickers - makes sense they would have sent them all in. This one has some mottling on the...
One that I can afford, that I like, and that fits in my collection. I will have to pay little more than it sold for at the heritage auction...
It says it's available, but just below that it's marked "sold". hmm?
I'm not a tone collector, but I'm curious as to how TPG's and CAC fit into this? In the older US coin market CAC has certainly had an impact on...
My only issue with Heritage is their no return policy. Dealers and Ebay (and of course dealers selling on Ebay) often allow returns on items in...
It's an interesting, and obviously subjective question. I've found that CAC coins will generally bring about one grade higher money than run of...
Pretty much the same situation as me except I have slightly more NGC than PCGS graded coins. I don't buy the holder and because I collect older,...
Did it! Thanks.
