I see it on eBay now at about 100% markup. $999 and I know it was acquired for $517. I was at $450. But Friscomint beat me in the end. But no way...
This is a follow-up on what I think is an S-101. The spacing of the S-102 eliminates it, but the spacing of the S-103 is too close to eliminate....
Opinions may vary without them being a mistake. But the strike is a bit weaker or the die a bit worn because the stars have little interior...
There is a significant difference between coins in MS and those under MS over what affects the value and grading. The corrosion on the rims might...
Another episode of collecting old copper on a budget: I just picked up this tired S-153 with a clip. But I like the terminal die states and this...
Nice S-22 with good surfaces and honest wear. I know why you wish you still had it.
Just got this one for $9.99 plus $2.49 shipping: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] The reverse is readily identifiable as the Sheldon 1796 Rev. S (Breen 1796...
This is what I bought: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I expected a very porous piece with little detail. What I got: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Well, It looks...
Looking at LIBERTY and the HWH and SHWH look like the 10 (HWH just right of the upright of R rather than below it and SHWH toward the middle of...
That's the reverse I have Sheldon L (Breen M), but the Obverse looks like the Sheldon 12 (Breen 11.) The conjunction of the Bust loop directly...
I pulled out my copy of The Cent Book I picked up on a visit with John and Mabel Wright back in 95 and the 28-12 appears to show light cracks from...
It looks like a combination to me as well. While I might be wrong, I'm not familiar with a die crack in the field continuing along the face of a...
I need other opinions on this coin. It looks to me like a 1803 Sheldon 12L which shouldn't exist. Probability suggests: 1. Misattribution on my...
Yep. That's one of the problems using images instead of seeing it in person.
Is there some slight doubling or is that from lighting and imagery? It appears to be only on the LIBERTY SIDE and most pronounced at U and N...
While searching for die states of the S-195, I came across this cautionary tale. It was misattributed by PCGS and sold on Heritage Auctions, who...
An additional common element in the S-195s is a raised portion of the fraction (lower half of the first two digits of the denominator) which...
[ATTACH] I just arranged the purchase of this third S-195.
[ATTACH] Looking at these images, it appears that the clash marks are from Reverse Die H rather than Reverse Die I. This would explain Breen's...
[ATTACH] This is the obverse rotated to match up with the Reverse. I'm using the rim damage to align the obverse. There is a feint double image...
Separate names with a comma.
