Here is a useful picture for identifying the Reverses that match up with Obverse 7. [IMG]
This is why I have often put in low ball offers on Heritage auctions. You never know when a coin just gets overlooked and sells for a song. Of...
Please take care and obtain a picture of the reverse. It looks to me to be an obverse 7 which has five reverse pairings. 3 are very scarce {(N-7,...
People used to be committed to an institution when they did things they could not control. Now society lets them walk the streets and fend for...
Nice. Here is it's problem cousin: [IMG] Oops! I just noticed this post was over a year old.
Let me expand on my statement. both wear and condition problems affect the price. The coin SHOULD be valued accordingly. Slabs are an attempt to...
There's no question is has severe problems. But there are a limited nimber of S-1s available and many of these have problems. It's just a matter...
This is a bit unusual for me, but this posting is of a Buy it Now, rather than a true auction. It is a slabbed, but unattributed S-1 AMERI. It is...
Don't be too hard on the guy. In a world where ripping people off is considered by many as simply good salesmanship, customers can't always be...

This is a very nice S-228 and looks to be State I. I'm a little confused because the crack through the curve of D on the reverse appears less...
A raised area should be associated with a gouge or corrosion if it's PMD. Lacking that, I agree.
I don't see anything other than Post Mint wear and damage. Copper is a relatively soft metal and a little early damage can cause some 'flow' of...
The attribution looks right , but the wear patterns range from G4 (Reverse Legend area) to F-15 (tip of bust) with a condition below average, but...
I also look at the earlier Auction 1 for Early dates. Holmes assembled a truly remarkable collection.
I thought I'd throw this in for those needing help distinguishing between Obv.4 (S-88) and Obv. 5 (S-89). Both photos are of coins in the Holmes...
Nice S-8. R3 as a variety. While the 11b R4 or 11c R3- (Lettered edges) may have a slight premium as a type, I don't see any difference as a...
