PS- that 1856 is amazing for the money! I’ve done well on some, but not that well!
I’m glad you posted that. I couldn’t remember who our resident “<$20 Large Cent Guy” was, off the top of my head*, so I laid out that sentence in...
Fantastic! Illinois, you say? I wouldn’t mind keeping one of those Gem BU Indians for myself, before I gave the rest away, per your instructions....
Yes, I often have to do a re-draw when my own number comes up, which it does fairly often, as you can imagine. Often more than once. I also...
I have always loved those, and love the color a circulated example of the type typically acquired over time. So much so that I too have been more...
I don’t know where most of the ones on the collector market came from, but Sergei of Metal Detecting World (one of the best- if not the best-...

Really. I mean, you’d have to resort to a sack or something, wouldn’t you? More than a couple of those things, and pockets would be out of the...
Wow! Below melt!
Well, I did get it from @CircCam, after all! ;)
Now there’s a proper looking hoard!
PS- I should also note that if you use the Lighthouse brand slab album pages, which fully enclose the slab (unlike the Eagle brand pages), you...
It’s still a Bust half! Never met one I didn’t like.
That’s a very handsome display. I loved type collecting and enjoy looking at type sets more than the sameness of date-and-mint collections that...
Yep. A sound motto to stick by, though I would say “quality” rather than “grade”. That’s an important distinction. If you don’t follow that...
Mine is a mere sixpence. I’d have gone for a shilling, but they didn’t put dates on those during Elizabeth’s reign. For some reason, only the...
Separate names with a comma.
