This is a particularly interesting coin since it shows the Obverse break through the bust area usually seen on the S-264 and without the advanced...
I would agree that no nice coin should ever be cleaned, but sometimes they are already damaged and conservation/cleaning is required to mitigate...
The biggest problem so far is getting a focused image. Check to see if you have a MICRO setting on your digital camera. Many do.
That is sometimes true on early date large cents and similar striations radiating toward the rims on worn dies is the rule, rather than the...
I like the effect. It didn't "improve" the surfaces as much as it removed the grease, grime and dirt which interfered with seeing the coin as it...
There's no way to examine the coins without removing them from the display. At best, you could get an ID on the obverses with a good close up...
This is an unattributed S-74 R4-. But it's priced appropriately (or a little high) for a properly attributed S-74....
I have to go with Sheldon over Breen on this one. The hair is different on two or three locks. Perhaps this was an early experiment with...
I cringe when I hear 'preserve' unless it's being done by the right professionals. It's so easy to do further damage when you think it's improving...

Congratulations! First, the 1794, has been a favorite of collectors for over a hundred years. Some even specialize only in 1794. I'll link you...
This is an unattributed S-108 R5. While a low grade specimen, it is priced right for one of an estimated 43-56 known....
Yep. What Conder said on the Obverse . The Dotted I on the Reverse is Sheldon's Reverse L while Reverse K has (N)I between dots. Let me know if...
And when we lose faith in the fiat currency, what will we use as a medium of exchange? Worthless cash and coins are no better than imaginary money...
Yep!
This is misattributed as a 1795 and is actually a 1794 S-32 R2+. It's not particularly rare, but another example of knowing the coin, even without...
This is properly attributed as a S-98, but this low grade specimen is priced well for beginners in Variety collecting. An R5 which indicates one...
I would trust CT guys over the local brick and mortar guys too. They have to be generalists and we have specialists for almost every collecting...
S-267 r1
