Is this good enough to identify or is the coin or photo insufficient? It is unlikely to be what I came up with. I appreciate your attributions to...
You nailed it. It arrived bronze in color with exceptional detail. Unfortunately, the problem ares were corrosion and not a protective layer. At...
I think you are right. The size and location are just too convenient to match the prong that closely.
Warnings are rarely accepted with enthusiasm by those who need the warning most. Those who have been around the block need the warnings less and...
Not to mention intentional human damage...
It didn't take me long to get over finding that S-208 that I thought was a S-202. While ugly to some, this is a nice addition because I love...
Note. Upon arrival, the "missing" stem in the photo IS visible in the copper. So the last piece of the puzzle falls nicely into place.
Oops! Brain lapse on the planchets. But I was looking above the F AM at what appeared to be an elongated rim break CUD. I agree with rim bruise...
Is this a CUD or a shadow/reflection of the holder? I estimate about a $300 question. (unique die state premium) I originally thought it was a...
The funny thing is that I like the problem coins like this. But not at that price. I'd probably be a buyer at $600. But that's not going to happen.
I guess this is EXPERT BODY WORK... [ATTACH]
They had to be guessing based on the reverse. I would have called it MUTILATED rather than "Expertly" re-engraved. But I just passed by quickly...
Back to the basic collection. Just picked this up: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Hint! The obverse is confusing and misleading, but the reverse is rock...
I guess I'm starting a second type of set. High detail problem Coins to go with my rare low grade problem coins. I hate the damage, but it makes...
That's a really nice S-237. I hope mine comes out close. Did you treat it to get it where it is now or did you receive it this way? I generally...
Now another High detail problem coin I picked up. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] The seller says it is a metal detector find. It looks like it might have been...
I just spotted another diagnostic for S-208. A feint die crack from the rim to just left of the serif at the foot of L and on to the hair below L....
Yep. I couldn't believe the bidding was so sparse. I'll take all the $35 R-5s I can find in any condition.
Based primarily on the rotated B, but with clash marks from Reverse Dentils above RTY where there is unusual wear on the subject coin, I'm leaning...
On second look, it may be Reverse S. 1800s are a tough year. Points: Obverse 1 closer to curl than hair above 1 Blunt or pointed not evident to...
