There's always that element of hope that the coin matches up with the images until you see it in the copper. I know I'm still waiting for my S-45...
I'll ID it for you and take you through the steps I use. 1. Second Letter style with more pronounced serifs on the L and Es. This eliminates...
I'm bringing up an old thread because I think some photos, even poor ones, are good enough for identification. These are the two I believe are...
Breen's Encyclopedia indicates ANS no longer has their coin and Breen illustrates the variety with that same coin AKA Newcomb/Clapp in a State IV....
This is the Holmes Die State V for comparison. With the obverse die state markers highlighted for those of you wishing to pick up Die State...
I concur with an EAC 25 / Market 45 grading. However, my attention is drawn to the Obverse die crack below RTY which is supposed to be there on...

If it were better, there are numerous differences in the reverses. This is either just past identification with good images or almost past...
I am posting this as a cautionary tale when attributing well worn Large Cents. This on had me going for a while: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I imediatly...
I love your ability to stay objective and not get caught up in the HOPE like I do. I tend to "see" what I hope to see instead of what's there, or...
ps This is the 1801 NC-3 and one of 14 known and none better than VG10.
I hoped to post my newest acquisition this morning, but my high bid got sniped during the live auction last night at Heritage. This is what I was...
Nice coin. Thanks for freeing her.
I'll confirm the S-28. Perhaps this is a case of whether you concentrate on the obverse or reverse for grading. Perhaps a G6/Fr2? Anyway, nice...
I'm generically opposed to entombing of coins. But I agree the details grade is justified. It is a nice coin, but I suspect it would only receive...
