Yes, I checked the die state section of your book before I posted. I had concluded my coin was an early die state, even though a very scudzy...
I would say 25 or 30 minutes using the Bowers/Whitman Guide Book of Half Cents and Large Cents largely because I had to look through every 1794...
This Nova is already heavily corroded. If you are going to keep the coin, then you have absolutely nothing to lose by cracking it out and...
Thanks, I will. I've been cooking for her and am about to go get some drugs for her. I am also, and this is what really shows marital...
LOL! I call my accountant about April 10th but he has to answer the phone because his 90 pound Black Lab has extremely poor phone manners.
Just to familiarize myself with the book's methodology, I attributed my sole 1794 large cent using the procedure recommended by Thomas. It took...
Thanks, I passed this on to my local coin club's newsletter editor.
I had every intention of attending Lakeland including meeting a friend from Melbourne there. But he had an unexpected business commitment. And...
I follow the same strategy. Where I am date collecting a set in a grade less than the target for my type set collection, I will buy the best...
Received my copy today. Closely read the first few sections and then paged through the attribution sections to get a feel for it. I am...
I probably should not have used the term "Type". Here is what Bowers says in the book A Guide Book of Half Cents and Large Cents, Whitman...
Bowers, in his Whitman book on half cents and large cents, divides the 1801's into Type 1 and 2, based on the "1"s in the date. The Type 1 has a...
@Insider , thanks for taking the time and effort to identify this. A friend dropped this and a handful of cull Matron Head cents on me the other...
Can anyone see enough on this 1801 for attribution? I think I see a serif on the first 1 of the date and the blunt second 1 making it a Type 1,...
Latest upgrade for the IHC collection. Replaces a raw F-12. My photos and the TrueView for comparison. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
That depends entirely upon what YOU mean by "better". My "better" is the 1809 based upon my criteria: 1) Don't buy problem coins. 2) Don't buy...
Just saw this as you originally posted it long before I joined CT. Thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a few things. One thing I had a question...
I agree with a hit/scratch due to raised metal along and parallel to the anomaly. I also see the left hand side of the upper right serif of "N"...
My copy will be delivered Wednesday!
I'm always happy to see a new attribution guide. From you, I would expect it to be all we would need or want.
