Breens Encyclopedia lists several types of edge devices for 1797, but the only one usually photographed is the Gripped edge device. I would like...
The 1803 appears to be an early Die State of S-261 before the crack appears between 8 and 0. But the reverse clash marks are not there either, so...
That is actually getting pretty close to the real thing. The 9 punch broke and left the end flattened. This was overdone in this case, but still...
The second coin has caught my interest. you may have bid against me on that one. It seems to be S-164 but the closeness of the date on the obverse...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] The most obvious distinction between this and a real coin is the shape of the "extra" curl. That curl at the shoulder "A" was...
There is a tendency among Early date collectors to emphasize obverses and then mention reverses; I would like to take the opposite approach. Each...
If you have a product, just sell it at market rates. You are not a profiteer unless you try to manipulate the market by limiting their...
I'm experimenting with a new digital microscope on my S-32 Die State I to see if I can produce images and a format I like. Is this one good for...
Thanks for catching that. I'm entering the phase that my memory can't be trusted. It's just a starting point for research.

Big day for my 96 collection. I picked this up this afternoon. It was labeled as a 1797 rather than the 1796 it is. It's not rare, but a nice...
I suspect it would be even better if it were a 1968 SMS half since they stopped making SMSs in 1967 as far as I know. In 1968 they resumed the...
As you can tell, verification that it is a mint product and not a third party package will be a significant factor in determining value. If it is...
The first thing you have to do when grading is know the distinction between TPGs and EAC grading. The differences are significant. I don't see a...
You've already got the best, but I'll throw in my concurrent opinion on S-49 Die State I.
I just got either a bargain or got taken to the cleaners on this one. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I believe this is right at the border of Basal-1 and...
I think many of us who really like variety attribution have a touch of OCD (Obsessive Copper Disorder).
I just noticed I failed to attribute it as the S-105 R5-.
