This is a first. I believe this is an unattributed 1796 NC-4. I'm sorely tempted to bid on it myself. I wish the pictures were better, but I think...
Yep! S-57. I narrow the search like Conder on the obverse side with the proximity of LIBERTY to the hair. On the Reverse side I use the Large M...
Only one of those (1797 NC-5 R6) and it's still at home here along with the S-94 (R5+) and my second S-142 (R5+, the holed one). The rest are with...
Just Liquidating. This is the first of about five groups. The kids aren't interested, so it's time to dispose of the collection. Now if I can only...
This is pushing the rules, but I have several items from my own collection on eBay (including a R5 and two R5+s) which I have shared with you on...
It is almost impossible to see anything from a photo taken through a 2x2 with glare. Offhand, I'm not sure why this is called a 1794 when it could...
That is not likely to be a mint produced condition. It is almost certainly a post mint result of damage from an impact to the copper which spreads...
I still can't see anything, but that is a place where clash marks are often seen on a variety of varieties.
I doubt he has any clue that he stumbled upon a derogatory term for the enemy during the Vietnam War. He's only been collecting for 10 years.
My first purchases were fillers from Virg Marshall's add in either Coinage or Coin World. Now those were truly low grade, but they made me very...
I don't have pets because it would cut into my coin budget. So I'd say I'm serious.
My GUESS is that there are 1000 casual collectors for every serious collector. Then there are 100 serious collectors for every numismatist. Then...
The only thing I see is three scratches in the shape of an asterisk below the chin in front of the neck. Is that what you are talking about?
This is an example of a lettered edge Large Cent. The "edge" I am referring to is not on the Obverse or reverse extremities Like LIBERTY, the...
It's hard to confirm an attribution of 1798 S-174 with this cent, but it appears to be consistent at those attribution points I can find. It...
Ruling this out as a 1799 candidate is quite easy without even looking at the reverse. Look at the HWH (Highest wave if hair). It is left of the...
I think you're right. Corrosion is my biggest hurdle in attribution.
It's a stunning coin, even if it has a few of minor hits at bottom left of the obverse and one on the reverse. I don't know if that would prevent...
Good eye. It is wider than normal spacing and helpful for attribution. It shares the reverse with an extremely rare S-217 (R6+), but is the...
