Pretty coin. The Draped Bust is a lovely series of designs (they differ on different denominations). IMHO, among the finest designs we've ever...
Looks like a clashed die to me. However, the heavy scratches are damage resulting, probably, from the long burial. Very cool find!
This variety was and probably still is the most popular half cent to collect by die state, because of the spectacular and progressive reverse...
There are two guaranteed naked eye giveaways that these counterfeits made from 1833-35 obverses and used for earlier dates have. Jack knows what...

In the Red Book, you might find some series that sound interesting. You might then want to read some of the more specialized books on the...
They are.
Wright's book is definitive, though there are a few things that need to be updated. Newcomb is very out of date.
The following is excepted (sans images; you need to be in EAC to get those) from the April 2020 issue of Penny-Wise. Robert Scot’s report to...
The photos in Photograde, if you're talking about the book, not PCGS Photograde online, are of poor quality. They were what you might expect 35 or...
