BNB I've seen your posts and generally avoided responding because there are plenty of other people who have given you advice (most of it good,...
Great strike on the large cent, but I love the original look of the Barber.
The absolute best part of this is the following from the seller: "again, go back and read the part where it says you may get a reg old wheat...
There seems to be a fairly small abrasion under Tom's eye and possibly another near six o clock on the obverse that I would think preclude a 68....
Well-done, Kanga. Tough date. Don't particularly like the dark around the mintmark but it otherwise looks like a nice, clean piece for the grade.
paul Thanks for posting that attachment on the grading course -- very interesting. I am going to print it out. Although I have heard a lot of...
Thanks, Alex --maybe one of these days, I will take the time to figure out how to take photos and post some of them. (By the way, I've been to...

Thanks for posting, Kanga. Good photos as usual. It looks like it has booming luster.

Well said. I think one of the big steps on the road to being a skilled collector is the willingness to pay a "premium" for a very nice coin. An...
It is a good question and I have often thought it would be a good thread to discuss which series are more "obverse-focused" and which are at least...
