I voted not at all, but...I think it depends entirely upon the relationship between dealer and customer. If of long acquaintance, good relations,...
The "nickel" 3-cent piece is only 25% nickel. The remaining 75% is copper. So, your green spot is a form of copper corrosion and you may want to...
Gotta love those apprentices with the number punches.
Very nice indeed. I am relegated to one end of the kitchen table, unless something more important comes along.
First a little background. I collect the Capped Bust Half Dimes (1829-1837) by die marriage of which there are 92 and also some 32 remarriages....

I am not disputing this claim nor what @Insider had to say about it, just discussing it and speculating upon the mechanics causing the result. My...
In general, there is one fundamental difference between in-person auctions and on-line auctions. That difference is the lag time between...
You're fine posting in US Coins. All that was suggested was to start your own thread.
Are some of those marks on the reverse adjustment marks?
Yep, I make it the JR-3, Middle Die State. Note die crack above T2 that develops into a cud in the Late Die State. Nice coin. I don't mind the...
The Variety 1 has a weight of 13.36 grams. The Variety 2 has a weight of 12.44 grams. It's pretty clear to me from the weight and the coin's...
Separate names with a comma.
