When it comes to Early American Copper, Mark is Tha Man. He was the primary cataloguer for the epic Walt Huzak sale of Early Date Large Cents in...
Yes, that is correct. Basically, the TPGs have one grade and us EAC types see it differently. 99% of the time, the grade according to EAC...
Man, you guys are good ! You found a lot of stuff from a mediocre photo. Yes, there are some interesting die clashes and die cracks. Yes, it was...
I like this coin. Nice color. I agree with the XF graders; there's just a bit too much wear in the forehead curls for AU. Same with the curls...
...nor is it reasonable to call it colonialism. Colonialism involves forming colonies, of course, and that involves migration from the Mother...
