I'm not Baseball, but the answer is both. The older holders don't come close to measuring up to the newest ones.
No real reason to update to the 5th. There's not enough new material to be worth it. The only real difference is Al Overton's son-in-law...
Nice 27s...your O-126 looks a lot nicer than mine. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] and here's my O-146 to go along with yours. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Roger Dodger you old codger!
Overton 108 better known as the "Pincher 8"...one of the most easily recognizable varieties in the series because of the 8's.
The fact that so many people told me not to--that they were "impossible" to authenticate because there were so many DMs. Don't EVER tell me I...
There are 453 capped bust dms... a complete set has only been done 3 times. Since there are only a couple of 1829 O-120s known to exist the total...
I promised myself that I wouldn't buy any more unnecessary 1827's until I reach the magic 100 DM mark needed for Bust Half Nut Club statis. This...

No, it would be a hammer price of 1550.00 plus a 310.00 buyer's fee. Then add shipping plus sales tax if any.
ALWAYS--yes, ALWAYS--do your own attribution on varieties/die marriages rather than blindly trusting a TPG to get it right. Although all the...
My youngest son was born the day of the tragedy so I find it easier to remember the date. As for the coin, like others, I kind of resent the idea...
Randy is correct. Slightly misaligned obverse die. The rim on the reverse is caused by die--not coin--wear. Interesting side note to the O-110...
There is this little problem that if I didn't own over 200 1827 halves maybe I could afford to acquire date/die varieties that I don't own.:( At...
