Evidence always trumps logical conjecture. Great example that is much more clearly the result of a rusted die.
Received the Flynn book one day after I ordered it from Amazon, brand new for $28. Here's what Flynn has to say about your suspicion. I have...
I put the same thought another way when I was working and had to explain the corporate bureaucracy to bright-eyed and eager new young things:...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Found one that had the look I wanted at a price I liked. These tend to come with problematic planchets and highly...
Oh yeah, this is not the right coin for me. The grade and the green bean work for me but not the actual coin. Saw a nice AU55 CAC at FUN but...
I saw another 1864 SM yesterday from a respected dealer with a very weak WE which the dealer attributed to a filled die as the weakness of WE did...
I just ordered the Kevin Flynn book on 2 Cent pieces. Might be in tomorrow. But it may well not address the issues I've raised. Anyone that can...
I've been looking for the "right" 1864 Small Motto 2 Cent piece for some time now. I have seen several that have the issues I see on this coin...
Was it Groucho Marx that said it first? Kudos for remembering and double kudos if you came up with it on your own. I think it was from the movie...
Your list is well thought out. But it's perhaps too inclusive. I prepare for a show by taking the following: Messenger bag. In my case it's a...

I have been transferring my collection of slabbed coins from albums into Lighthouse Intercept boxes to save space and hopefully improve the...
1839 Philly mintage of 1,069,150. The Type II obverse which is the same hub for Miss Liberty as used on the 1837 Type I No Stars variety but with...
Your nice coin is almost certainly one of the Randall Hoard cents. My RH example is a 62BN but looks almost exactly the same. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I collect the Capped Bust Half Dime series, 1829 to 1837 by die marriage. This is a fun series to collect and collection options can be chosen to...
Also the JR-9 die marriage, R-2.
Yes, of course you are correct. I'm so focused on the Capped Bust series that I forgot about the Liberty Seated.
I was looking for a nice Feuchtwanger (FW) cent at FUN but couldn't find one. Glad you found this 3 cent and it's a nice one. I suspect that...
