I am leaning toward possibility 3 as well. It is somewhat supported by the weakening of the stem on the lowest inside leaf on the right on the 195...
I am glad to break even after 40 years of collecting. It usually takes about 20 years for inflation to catch up with a reasonable margin between...
This is a Large Cent which is probably overpriced for it's condition, but it intrigues me because of it's Reverse. I nominally attributed it as...
There is a difference between a profit margin and a scam and you know it. Unfortunately, SOME dealers think they have no responsibility to be...
At this point it isn't necessary. It is definitely a head of 95 and definitely not S-72 of 1794 or S-73, S-74, S-75 or S-76a of 1795 so that...
This is an unattributed 1798 S-146 R5 with both corrosion and detail. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1798-Large-Cent-/300875447792...
While not a bargain, this is an unattributed S-85 R5. http://www.ebay.com/itm/121080377575?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
Please excuse me as I drool.
That might have been their intent, but was returned to use for lack of time for the rework. They faced heavy pressure to produce since threats to...
After another look, it appears to actually be a S-74. I jumped the gun on the Reverse D because I mistook PMD under the U(N) for a third leaf....
Like others before have said, it either is a fantastic early cent which is well centered and struck on a premium planchet (very unusual) or a...
Well the S looks normal (smaller on top and larger on bottom) to me, but the 6 looks more open like an inverted 9 than comparable 46-Ss shown...
It's hard to tell the difference between a weak strike and wear with pictures like this. I know some early varieties of Large Cents are well known...
I found out that my S-76a has been sold and so I was looking at the Heritage Site for comparable coins and sales. I stumbled upon this 2004 sale...
Thank you for this information. This makes two known coins with a pairing with the reverse at state III/IV. I think this is conclusive evidence of...
This is an intriguing coin since ir appears to be a S-214, but with a reverse die state of a late III or early IV with the crack at IC to the...
Thread: Obsolete Cents I thought this was about politicians. I guess sense is spelled differently.
I understood the spirit of your comment. But it did trigger a serious concern and response from me. Just chalk it up to a non sequitur.
Penny says the Obama is a metaphor for "wasted government" in recent statement: Penny: Obama Is Obsolete, A 'Metaphor' For Some Of The Problems...
I would have felt much much worse if this scam had been successful and one of my friends on CT had been the victim because I offered the tip....
