Look at the position of the tips of leaves under M and also the distance of the berry from the wreath. Also the gap between the right stem and the...
I encourage you to bookmark this and use it as a reference alongside Pennywise. The pictures are much easier to see....
Thank you. It is better to learn now, before you start buying, than the other way around. My rule of thimb is to be able to identify it yourself...
Good process, but wrong conclusions. I believe the CUD you are seeing is damage, but it's hard to tell on worn damaged copper. Look at the leaves...
I think I've narrowed the Obverse down to Martin 4. But the Reverse appears to be a prototype. No 1723 dated Halfpences have the date low like...
Let us know what you find out. I think you have a match for the obverse (Type 1) IR1628, but the reverse is different. The description on both...
This is a poor, but rare variety S-111 (R5-) with a moderate confidence factor due strictly from wear. Position of the 1 and 6 relative to the...
Clubs vary in extrordinary ways. Some are collector centric and love to educate new collectors. Unfortunately, most have devolved into a...
OK Guys. This one is a little different. I went through three phases on this one. First phase. Bleh! Second phase. Really excited and...

I just thought of this: There are two things which we are told come from nothing: 1. Big Bang tells us everything comes from nothing. 2. The...
As far as I can tell, there are no coins in heaven. Now I'm not sure about the other place.
I can't find a match for either the obverse or reverse on Heritage. The G is left of (rim on top) the closest match i can find, even with the...
Lettering Type 2 Large 8 Hair Type ? Group 2, 3 or 5. 8 distant from 9. Eliminate the overdates of Group 2. 1 distant from lowest curl....
Looks like 5 snipers bid it up from $142.50 to $462.
Looks like a couple of pre snipe bidders have recognized this. A R5 with a 200 year old fingerprint to boot...
Ouch!
The Reverses of Obverse 19 are really not that difficult to distinguish once you know where to look if sufficient detail remains. The inner berry...
This is a nice coin going for only $15.50 as I type. It is an unattributed S-146 R5. A key for identification of Reverse C is the imbedded berry...
