Thanks for the input. I'm probably mistaken on the faint image I thought I was seeing. Like I said, it didn't make sense.
In addition to the above described problems, The hair details are way too strong for a Chain Cent. The Portrait designs on these have subtle hair...
What am I talking about? I've been capturing images to recreate my image data base for attributing Large Cents. I've stumbled upon something...
Thank you both for your assistance. It appears they have added the "do not" symbol which usually indicates it won't capture the image, but it will...
http://www.icollector.com/The-Pre-Long-Beach-Sale_as14916 Well, it finally happened. The reference photos I had been using to attribute early...
The 1818 is N-5. Rotation of the reverse on this variety is not mentioned as it is on varieties commonly found rotated.
I'm thoroughly confused by your question because you keep mixing Half Cent and Large Cent terminology in your description. Your initial question...
Other than silver, mintmarked 38s and 39s and the 50-D, I can't imagine the nickle being worth more than 6 cents. Of course when you've been...
Someone may have picked up a real bargain here. While most are looking at it as a common 1802, this may be an extremely rare die state I of S-227...
I concur as well with C-8 with the spike on the obverse, but I looked at the point of the leaf under M to conclude it was C-8. The prior varieties...

In a departure from the norm, I'm listing a coin which looks above the usual AG to G grade. This is an unattributed 1796 S-82 listed as R5 in the...
Thank you Randall Hoard! These are great examples of coins which would not likely be available today if not for the barrels of Cents found during...
The seller should NEVER reference a photo for details when he's showing a stock coin. That is deceptive. He gave a mixture of good detail and...
"I appreciate and respect your input, however there's something about it that rubs me the wrong way. I don't know whether it's because I disagree...
This is a never ending topic. In my honest opinion, "investing" has lost it's meaning. It was originally intended to be limited to an enterprise...
Like any investment, it's good if you get in before everybody else does. Past performance is no guarantee of future performance. That said, I...
I drive a F-350 7.3 liter powerstroke and $10 doesn't get me out of my driveway.
The 1818 N-3 Obverse 2 is rather easy to identify due to the positioning of the first star being substantially closer to the tip of the bust and...
The Obverse is definitely the N-3, but the reverse had me scrambling. Now at first glance, it appears that the outer leaf under C(A) was ghost...
