@wxcoin: You are correct that the TPGs are often more lenient with early coins but CAC is not actually a third party grader. The grade is...

Here's my favorite-1836 half dime, obverse clashed into the reverse. [ATTACH]
OP's coin appears to be GR-15. R-3. Diagnostics from Graham's work that I can make out from the photos are in black type and diagnostics I...
John, I have your 1992 edition. How can I obtain the addenda/errata and update pages. More than willing to purchase them and pay postage.
Thanks for everyone's thoughts. I think I'll call it a 61.
