Well the 18 almost look like they were recut, but not sure about that(leaning towards not). The second 9 looks normal to me for the 1899 - seems...
To me those pictures do not make them look like 67's. I have seen Paul's pictures with the luster and the colors. I can only assume the luster...
Yep - think you got it right with O-101.
And that is why you typically don't see $5 coins on heritage or teletrade. I am not saying they are not there. I have seen some not get a bid...
Ditto what Lance says. Also you can search on great souther coins here and find several threads on them. I don't trust their pictures and if I...
Nice pick up.
I could live with vg-8 as your choice of grade, when I first glanced at I thought g/vg. I don't think it is a bad price. I can't attribute until...

As mentioned get books on the series. I like the red book on IHC's by rick snow. For large cents I have newcomb, sheldon Penny Whimsy and...
Sweet pickups. Very nice indeed.
Here is how you figure out if it is a good deal - you like the coin and you like the price. Simple as that. I think that NGC price is a little...
Well - can't really say, but you did not offend me and I read most of the posts. :)The I got tired of the back and forth - that happens with a lot...
Don't forget lowball sets.
I won't attempt it. Too much corrosion - this is one for Marshall or someone or one of the other real experts. But for $3 a coin hard to go wrong...
None of them fit in my sets. I would be forced to pass. :) Or maybe I would take one and sell it or trade it for what would fit into some of...
Not sure which one scares me more - the hit on the eagle or the picture below it. :) Of course you could probably make a fortune painting Kennedy...
