There are contact emails on their website, I would shoot the secretary an email. Forget about their forum, that is absolutely dead, but the email...
You are absolutely correct! The very nature of the manufacture of these type coins kind of rules out much original documentation! I may be...
I am pretty shocked that the ANA would have such an article, the author is completely confusing evasions and counterfeits. Even including...
Yes, that is from Crosby, been reading him for 40 years! There were some erroneous assumptions in the 19th century that the bungtown tokens...
I really like the Wood coinage. The Rosa Americanas were struck in halfpenny, penny and two pence coins for circulation, Hibernias were struck in...
There is an excellent article in the latest Journal of early American numismatics. Evasions were made during a short period in the last few years...
Ah, much more doable! I have a couple Massachusetts cents but need to get a half cent.
Nice, I really need to get a harp left!
Good luck on New Hampshire, I think there are only a dozen or so known! I'm pretty sure you would be looking at at least a 5 figure price.
I'm slowly working on a low grade large cent set and I would have been all over that! Yikes, I can remember getting low grade type coin draped...
N12 is currently listed as an R2 I believe. Pretty common, but yours is a nice example. I will second the recommendation of joining C4. It is a...
Yep, did mention it earlier, any decent metal detector would easily differentiate between a cent and a dollar. In fact I would guess it has...
A good metal detector could tell the difference. If it can ID a coin in the ground, it could ID one in cereal.
Normal weight for a cent. As stated you have a counterstamped cent, without seeing it I am assuming it is plated making it look silver.
I get most of my coins from ebay and get some absolute bargains. You just have to be careful who you are dealing with.
It's a great book at a good price. The first edition had a few errors, but I believe these have been rectified in the second.
If you want a British halfpenny with American connections you should get a 1749 as well. Huge quantities of 1749 farthings and halfpennies were...
1895 for sure. You can tell by the position of the lowest feather. In mid 1886 it was changed from pointing at the "IC" in AMERICA to pointing...
I'd keep the wheat cents, even though they are only worth a few cents each. The rest are just spenders.
That was on some of the counterfeit halfpennies, not Hibernias. The Wood coinage was very well made. Syd Martin wrote a great book on the series...
