Good thing I asked. :) 6r
Is the mark under N on reverse on the slab or the coin? I believe the former, but wanted to ask.

[img] Eduard is correct, it is a s137. FWIW, in hand it is darker and less contrasty than even the darker photos in post #1. While under light...
Insane sounds good to me. :)
After all these years, it was good to finally meet you, Chris. :) This coin was the subject of a little discussion today at FUN between Chris...

A few things have conspired against adding to my collection in the past year or so... I've had some medical challenges, my job has been...

I have to tell you that of all the mint set grades, the difference between 64 and 65 is probably the EASIEST to tell. Good point, bad example....
I'm about to receive a 1797, but I don't want to post pics until I actually commit to the purchase. First new large cent for me in quite some...
I have no knowledge of the issue, but the above makes a lot of sense. Sometimes you see the same thing with colonials. You look at the coin...
No worries, CBD. We just get a lot of posts like this, and it distracts us a bit. :) Welcome to the forum & neat coin -- has a lot of meat...
Somehow I ended up with two examples of the 1855.... First, a very lustrous and original-looking brown example. If memory serves, I got this...
