I wouldn't put it that way. I purchased it at the Buy It Now price and he sent it. He could have canceled and wouldn't hold him to it. My 1876...
How about this one? I think VF but a couple sources consider it EF. One way to tell the difference is if the ribbon is distinct from the lower...
FYI, I use GIMP. It is like Photoshop but free.
Huh, the second looks like 1866 under a loupe. I sold the 1869, don't understand why it sold so fast and all the interest. I listed it for $20...
That type of thing usually involves someone listing a BIN by mistake or with a lack of knowledge. I got this coin for $9.99 with free shipping....
Right, just because a thread talks about a Federal institution like USPS or the mint, doesn't mean it has to turn into some political debate on...
I don't know how you would do that, only if the organization provides a specific service like USPS or the Mint. How would you expect to do that...
How about this? 1866? Easier to see in the light though. Could try a better pic with a digital camera in the light. [ATTACH]
Does this look like 1869 to you? Looks like it to me. [ATTACH]
That is what I heard too. All the coins after 1864 are "L" coins with pointed bust. There are other differences like the shape of the leaf and...
I was looking at the shape of the bust and unsure if it was pointed I thought maybe not but do see what appears to be an "L" on the ribbon? Is...
Speaking of corrosion. Do you think this coin is corroded? I saw it for sale on Ebay and it is in a problem free slab. I am thinking it seems...
I actually have a good portion of Roosevelt dimes up to 1964 complete mostly from circulation. One of the early dates I found in the coin star...
I don't use acetone on coppers since it can turn coppers funky colors. Distilled water and Verdi-care is the only thing I have seen improvements....
That's alright, I don't hunt for issues and expect perfection with circulated, 180 year old coins. Seems the majority of the matron heads have on...
It appears that porosity and environmental damage are very common on these old coppers especially early matron heads. I wonder if the TPGs hold...
I am thinking VG-10. Is that right? What about the rim bump? It doesn't appear to distracting. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I don't think it is wise to buy coins as an investment for your grandson. A savings bond doubles in 20 years and is backed by the Federal...
I am debating about using Verdi-care or maybe mineral oil on this coin. Does it look like it is worth the trouble? Would I see a good...
I agree though that the term cull means taking some pieces out. In the coin industry to use that to separate out coins that have problems. Too...
Separate names with a comma.
