It will be easier in 50 years. :)
For the benefit of others who view this later, someone should point out the reverse was shown upside down. Sear lists two variations separated by...
This is the best way to spend $2.84! No one knows how many variations there are of most coins. Books can tell you what is known to them but no...

I don't arrive early enough to these ID parties to be of much help but am very impressed by what I see as someone quite capable of doing this work...
What is the earliest numismatic record of a goatee? For that matter, when do we see neatly trimmed beards come into fashion? Here on CT, certain...
