Well I have only been to 1 show and picked up 2 coins at average price. But one advantage I can think of about going to a show compared to ebay is...
Could you get a weight of it (And closer pics)?
Because they were made during WWII, and they don't all suddenly vanish into thin air after a specific amount of time.
And certainly not a top-tier TPG...
I don't think it's a doubled die.
Definitely MD.
Sure thing, here is some pictures a friend posted on another forum. It's not his, but someone else's...one of the craziest errors I have ever...
And the first year of memorials to boot! Just wondering and I guess it find it interesting...that an error like this does not receive a grade,...

Damage, plain and simple.
Acetone removes particular types of foreign debris, but leaves the original coin (that is, everything that was present on it when it was first...
Is there a specific book or resource where one can see the varieties to try and compare?
The miller is essentially the variety number of it, that identifies which die it came from. Unfortunately I am unsure of how to go about doing...
That one was much nicer than the one I had. My Connecticut was pretty worn, but had a rarity of R6. The legend on yours is clearly legible, which...
I'm a real fan of copper colonials as well. I just sold my 1787 Connecticut recently. The good thing is that since they were produced more years...
Separate names with a comma.
