One of my favorites. The S-30. Not particularly rare, but the only obverse with the double lock of lowest hair. Sheldon thought obverses of S-30...
Admittedly I'm no expert on Silver, but I don't see rub on even the high points I would expect. I know I've seen MS on lesser coins.
Well it (S-251 V) finally made it in from Germany. It definitely has a weak date though the LIBERTY has plenty of depth. The reverse shows the...
Yes. I've never used the Breen numbering system, even though his work on coins contains a lot of outstanding information. Outside of coins, not so...
It was actually about the S-236 which I thought I recognized as the S-265 Reverse without using my comp photos. I'm still not sure about the...
I apologize for posting too quickly yesterday. I was trying to squeeze in a thorough search into a 15 minute window and it obviously failed. I...

I went ahead and purchased this from the seller after realizing I had made a mistake. By doing so I have assumed the risk of purchasing either a...
Agreed on the L being wrong on this Fake. I went back before reading this post. I'm still having trouble with the distances to R and T from the...
I love reading articles like this. Many Kudos for your efforts. I'm still identifying the obvious fakes which are easy. You're doing the work on...
Here is another Fake from the same manufacturer offered by someone I have done business with. I just notified him and fully expect it to be taken...
Could be. A lot of people started saving change in the Coin Collecting boom of the early sixties. He might have forgotten why he started.
Right or wrong, I usually suspect either stolen coins or inherited coins by ignorant heirs. In either event, they are still the currency of the...
