Here is another miss-attributed 1794 Obverse 19 called 1795. It seems to be a common mistake. This one appears to be S-43. A die break at U to the...
Corrosion, the bane of my attribution skills. Sometimes it makes me see too much and sometimes too little.
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
Definitely the O-102 unless the blob (half CUD/Half break or chip) below the eagle's right claw (viewer's left) at the dentils has been tooled...
This is an interesting S-168 (R3) because it seems to contradict the die crack progression laid out by Breen, who was following the sequence laid...
It is the post auction buys which clued me in. There were so MANY which had bids and no indication of having failed to meet a reserve, and yet...
I'll have to remember this next time. They apparently bid quite highly when they lose nothing by making a bid. I suggest they change the name to...
I just won my first item from a Heritage Auction. When I completed my payment, they sent a list of coin which they say didn't sell. But I remember...
There is one possibility you can always keep in the back of your mind. That is a new VAM. New discoveries are rare, but each VAM was once a new...
Not everyone is knowledgeable about market price. Plus, there is a cost and aggravation factor in confirming it's authentication. If he found it a...
Any chance that Lizard/salamander could be a lousy looking Lobster?

I know I'm supposed to be selling. But I finally got my first NC. I just won this on Heritage:...
Or you can do what I'm trying to do and slowly dispose of the collection before that happens. Of course, I can't help myself if I see an under...
This is an unattributed 1796 S-103 R4+, the rarer of two LIHERTY varieties (the one with the Reverse of 94)....
The only 94 head of 93s are obverses 1, 2, 3 with a fish hook curl and high relief. The only 94 Reverse of 95 is Obv. 39 (though Obverse 38 is...
This is a S-44 Die state IV. One of the two AU50 coins which top this list was found in England. My recommendation is to hold off for the Long...
In many ways, I feel like a painter who has been complimented. I thank you, but what else can I do? It's something in me that I must do.
