Mistakes happen at the TPG. It can happen from ignorance, sloppiness, negligence, hurriedness, etc. It pays to check the coin versus what's on...
It probably wouldn't grade higher. I have no idea if the slab has any value. Nice coin.
Not just 1829 but all the die varieties of all the dates, 1829-1837. I don't ever expect to get them all since there are a few R-7s that even in...
Of course. If I ever start to take myself too seriously, I just look in the mirror and if that doesn't work then I just ask my lovely bride to...
I am the temporary custodian of these coins as they will live beyond my passing. I never post a coin that is not mine without stating that it...

In a recent thread by @kanga regarding a nice 1829 half dime with a cud, I offered a die marriage attribution which elicited some fun comments on...

Ooh! I like that cud. It's a LM-2 die marriage, rarity 2, and many of these do not have the cud which develops late in the striking of this die...
@ldhair, yes that is the Huge 0 variety, Obverse of 1839, Reverse of 1838-O. Kam Ahwash calls it Obverse 7, Reverse 7. Fortin calls it F-108,...
You're welcome. If you're going to collect early copper, you might find it beneficial (but not absolutely necessary) to buy a copy of EAC's...
Please don't misunderstand me: There is nothing at all wrong with the OP's coin. It's a nice, higher grade example of a circulated coin....
How about a Sacagawea mule?
I think the OP's coin would grade AU-50 today. The obverse shows some high point wear that is about a 55 but the marks on the cheek are...
Edmund Randolph's legal opinion was that the President was operating under the Resolution of 1791, not the Mint Act of 1792 and could thus hire...
For some number of years, there were arguments that the Continental Dollar was some kind of official issue of the US either as a pattern or a...
