Even more so. Here is one they got wrong, even to a basic grouping and you can't blame NGC for this one. [ATTACH] It is actually a Reverse of 97...
This reminds me of the types of coins I could still find in circulation when I first began collecting in the mid 60s. Coin collecting was really...
Are any of you Copper guys planning on going? I see there is an Early Copper Auction both days and it's close enough for me to go if there are...
Ground find General overall porosity with very fine details.
The obverse doesn't match. I don't know. I'm back to square 1 on the 98s.
[ATTACH] This is the comp I used for S-161 which shows the encroachment of damage at the lower left berry.
Here are some follow up photos of the S-161 which confirm the attribution. [ATTACH] The obverse confirms a 1798 and adds a countermark W. This...
Sorry. Grant is still the enemy in my book.
It takes a week to get out of California or Washington St., but once it reaches Texas it's pretty quick. It's in Seattle right now. The 1796 NC-2...
I pulled the trigger too quick again. It was labeled correctly as S-76b and Obverse 3 was obvious. But the reverse is worn and rotated and I...
I'll let you know when it arrives. I've been fooled before on a scratch that looked like a new die break.

It's interesting that I've been watching "Forged In Fire" on the history channel. I've been thinking about the process used to produce these...
Once again, it does not appear that they ever crossed the M and this shows both letters on the same coin. That leaves the question about why the...
It has the general impression of a Liberty Cap 1793-1796. If it is a thin planchet, it would have a plain edge and weight ~ 168 grains...
I'm still working with a 2010.
I think it's the S-161. In a middle die state, the lowest stem on the left appears to come closer to bisecting the gap than in the earlier die...
I'm going to take a break now. 1798 is a big one.
1797 A - Loops (Reverse of 95) - eliminated B - Lowest outside berry on the left - eliminated C - A not close - eliminated D - A not close-...
While these 4 diagnostics do not exhaust the possibilities, let's see how many reverses we can eliminate. 1796 I - Lowest outside berry on the...
Separate names with a comma.
