I could see that, identifying a coin "in the wild" makes it more personally liked than something you buy already identified. I have the same...
Now THAT is a nice Jeff, better than all the rest.
Fair enough sir. However, what will happen to the hobby because of this "mechanical error"? That is my worry. Someone who does not know how to...
It's a weird type to be sure. I don't pay that much attention to these, but haven't seen one before I believe. I still see a very intact right...
I bet most of his coins had the same sad story. Poor man. ;)
I say no. Look above the head. On one the right side of the symbol is combined, on the other two separate marks.
I agree I thought that at first, (maybe 67+ or 68), but looking at it longer I am not a fan of Jefferson staring down that big scratch in front of...
I agree they will claim its a "mechanical error", (like this changes liability, if I mess up in one of my plants due to a mechanical error I am...

Everyone in the coin industry for the last 80 years has realized a 16d is not the same coin as a 16. I would say inform them of their error, and...
Any 2.5s are tough near spot. They have had premiums for at least the last 30 years I have paid attention.
What are they going to do when they run out of room on the base? That is where my mind went. Sorry, not into racing...
Eh, I never get hung up between ancient and medieval for stuff 1400 and earlier. Byzantine is frequently labelled ancient, so why differentiate...
I would agree history does not say it will go up, but it also does not say it won't. Both of these shocks had to due with price of crude, though...
To the OP, buyers wishing to hold long term should always hope for cheap prices today but a long term healthy market. I love buying in doldrums,...
