After missing out on the S-143, I had the funds to go for this and made it. It is a misattributed S-206 which was called S-205. It's an easy...
I just got outbid on a very nice Large Cent that I wanted badly. But someone with greater means wanted it too and employed the same strategy I...
Does anybody else see what looks to me like an overstrike? I took a chance on this because it's eerily similar to the NC-2 which was overstruck on...
I had to go out of town yesterday and lost this eBay bid while gone. It is labeled, and probably properly so, a S-242. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] My...
I know quite a bit about early date Large Cents, but practically nothing about Shield Nickels. Could anyone with knowledge of die varieties and...
I just picked up this off eBay and hope to find gold. It is definitely a S-76, but one photo gives me hope that it is the S-76a (R5) and even some...
I need other opinions on this coin. It looks to me like a 1803 Sheldon 12L which shouldn't exist. Probability suggests: 1. Misattribution on my...

I am posting this as a cautionary tale when attributing well worn Large Cents. This on had me going for a while: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I imediatly...

Here is another pick-up I did on the spur of the moment because the price was right and it held my interest. Can you see what is interesting to...
I thought I'd continue the Large Cent series by posting this coin I just put on layaway. Take your shots a attribution and then give an opinion...
I have two 1800 S-195s which were quickly dismissed as S-194s by attributers of some repute. After reviewing the findings and the coins, I must...
I just won this Large Cent and am excited. Can anyone tell me why?[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I'll post my reason in about three days unless...
I saw this posted on eBay and not only is the obverse wrong for the type (close to the large diameter quarter which was discontinued in 1828), but...

Just a quick post after a little health scare. My Kidneys shut down so I've been gone about a week. The scariest thing is that I was relatively...
I'm posting this for assistance in determining an attribution. It doesn't fit expectations in my opinion and I need someone not predisposed to a...
I recently purchased a S-67 for no other reason than the edge shot looked like an edge of 93. It wasn't, but it renewed my interest in identifying...
