Just a point: Getting it grade by a third party grader will increase the market for the coin by easing the minds of those who know less than those...
As far as I know, each early type has it's own reference book, and some of those are no longer in print. Having a single source for all 18th...
Let me provide you with a better comparison photo of the variety then. There are six known obverses for the 1796 Liberty Caps with 7 reverses...
I suppose my collection is of identifiable varieties, which puts a premium on detail over aesthetics. But we each have our own priorities. But...
Lot's of people don't like damaged coins which is why they are affordable to those of us who like them IF they are cheap. In this case, without...
Variety differences can be almost indistinguishable or significant depending on the particular die. The differences on the six (6) obverse dies of...
I came up with S-174 based on the stemless berry right at (A)M and the pronounced clash from the head on the left stem which matches up. The berry...
As long as I can abbreviate Draped Bust - DB, I'm OK with the censor.
I was attributing a coin listed as S-113, but I think it might have been a 1797 NC-5 which shares the reverse with the 96 S-113, S114 and S115....
I hate attributing on an Ends Soonest sort and then the listing expires just as things get interesting. I need to remember to capture the images...

You do pay for the details grade, just not close to full price. Details VF30/net VG7 should sell for about the same price as a trouble free VG7.
I just responded to an alert and didn't realize there was an earlier page. I figured you wouldn't make that mistake and was wondering if I was...
I'll just repeat that I don't expect anything but insurance from authentication. They just aren't good at it.
That's what I just paid for the damaged S-101, so it's about right. The higher price would be for less damaged coins. I really wouldn't be too...
Wrong OP coin. I was comparing a comp to my comp. The opening comp is the S-81. I was wondering why the complaint about corrosion I couldn't see....
[ATTACH] After adjusting for rotation, this matches up.
This is my favorite online site for Early date Large Cents: http://www.icollector.com/The-Pre-Long-Beach-Sale_as14916 This was the collection of...
This looks like the S-87 to me and if it is a fake, it is the best one I've ever seen. The 6 is far too low for the S-81 and while similar, the...
