My neighbor delivered my missing packages. She only checks her box every couple of weeks. So I guess I was lucky.
I've got the S-111 and the S-195 in USPS purgatory. Both tracked to delivery on 6/29 and neither has arrived.
This is easy to attribute, but it goes in my die state collection.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
When it gets here, I'm going to check closely at an 8K Die Marriage. There's certainly nothing that cries out any variety.
There are other things which also indicate a new Obverse. The top variety sits lower than the other two pushing the lowest star on the left...
While I am not familiar with early halves, distinctive new dies are a reason I always attribute coins for myself. Verification of a new die...
The 1894 50c has some die clashing which shouldn't be deductions, but often does with TPGs.
That matches the diagonal marks I saw on my (now formerly) S-121c.
It's a possibility. But I still see the left upright of N(T) left of any Reverse of 1799 Hub. The fraction looks close (but not Rev of 96 close)...
Thanks. There are almost no edge shots of the edge varieties Breen describes for the 97s and 98s except for the gripped edge.
I just picked up this project. It's obviously an 1800. The Obverse has either a huge CUD in the lower curls to the left side of the first 0 or a...
That's not quite as bad as sniping a coin and being the high bidder, but someone else bidding less than 1 increment lower just before you so your...
I hope it didn't cost you $300 like on TV.
It looks like a middle die state S-194 at first glance.
This is a closeup of the date: [ATTACH] If it's Obverse 7 (S-219.NC-2, NC-5, S-220), then it doesn't appear to be a late die state like 4 of my...
I'm looking closely at that (Reverse F) now. Some comps seem to exclude it and some do not. The berry at C(E) appears close to the stem on some...
It came in a couple of days ago, but I had a bit of trouble getting to the mailbox (still recovering from another Arteriogram.) This is an...
I need to check my eyes again. All I see is a touch of the 0 and smudges. Of course there is no question about the attribution with the diagnostic...
That would definitely make a lot of difference.
I was just going by Heritage Auction Records. The visible 4 makes a ton of difference. But this is nice for a dateless example.
