Oops! 8 is lower than the 1.
There's a lot going on with this. Die chips above D and at the rim right of the right lower arrow. Apparent die breaks from D, one going left and...
I know quite a bit about early date Large Cents, but practically nothing about Shield Nickels. Could anyone with knowledge of die varieties and...
I've tried to blow up and enhance the contrast of the photo of the edge. There appears to be something on the edge, but it looks different from...
Just purchased a fourth S-195: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] This one cost less than $30. Now as an aside, I'm trying to put together a group of coins to...
I'll keep you posted.

I apologize for my first post since I was looking at a comp coin showing the strong first star and not the subject coin in arriving at VF details...
This is why I value the opinions on this board more than the professional slabbers. They just don't have the time to understand the nuances of...

While it's been awhile, I finally received the S-45 after a three month layaway. It looks much sharper in the copper than in the photos. While...
