I found a partial group of photos in back of one of my Holmes catalogs showing a half cent error collection. Of those, it appears to be the...
OK! I can't attribute this one because I don't have the Half Cent references. But it is definitely a Half Cent. If it is a 1796, it would be very...
I actually do it the same way, but after a while, I can zero in on distinctive differences more easily. I've attributed many coins through the...
Yes. I use Sheldon rather than Breen designations.
I start with the hair on the obverse. Note: the parallel strands of hair at the top which are NOT parallel with the rest of the strands below it....
Very nice. It is shown as R4+ in the Holmes Collection and this coin is higher grade, but with a couple of edge dings compared with the Holmes...

To be honest, the heirs could be faced with possession of stolen property. Because it was inconvenient for prosecutors to have to prove criminal...
No. We didn't. In fact. We recognized grants of property by several different Crowns as the Country grew. I'm particularly familiar with Spanish...
No. That was "The Divine Right of Kings."
The big question is whether it was a LAWFUL order. The POTUS has acted with impunity on many matters which are Unconstitutional. The SCOTUS then...
...unless you are a KING.
Thanks for the opportunity to look closely at attribution points for the S-266. I had not realized the easy markers existed for the reverse until...
I love the die break over COP
Nice pickup.
As expected, all my bids went down hard. I got to withing 50% of a winning bid on one coin, though. Most were around 5% to 20% of final auction...
