I captured these images and put them side by side for comparison. Then enlarged them a bit. [IMG] The two things that stand out are the position...
I would say altered, whether it's the coin or the image. In addition to spots, I also see too little contrast between the fields and the devices...
I was wondering what coins were minted in 1815, the sole year there are no Cents and ran across this....
I would go even further to look at the left side of the upright of D if it is truly reverse A. This would be a rare Die State I if it is and...
I have a similar opinion of the S-133 which seems to be too common for an R5 rating. I only have two, but I've been oubid for at least three more...
There are other ways to look at this site and I know it's NOT PC. This is also the end of the concept of self governance. It is where the myth...
I just recently sold mine which was Fr2 but problem free. Problem free coins, even in very low grade do command a premium over typical coins for...
You can think it's unique, but it's not that uncommon. Several early date Cents fall into the same category when hoards were discovered at in the...

Sorry about that! I usually give out a tip on these, but decided to bid on this one myself. I was left far in the dust by the snipers. I couldn't...
This consistent with my view that rarity alone will set a floor of around $100 for R5, no matter how worn or scudzy. Any amount of pleasantness...
Perhaps we can agree that price doesn't always represent value. Price is related to a single transaction while value would reflect some sort of...
I thought i finally pulled one off...for a few days....
It appears that the elderly man was an elderly woman. It will be interesting to find out if all four were participants or if some were just...
Pretend you're the post office and declare everything to be worth face value.... JK I do recommend that the evaluation be on wholesale value...
Imitating Lostdutchman's thread is intended to flatter, not to plagiarize. What would you do with this? Note It is a Rare (R5) S-147. Also, some...
There is always a tension between education and dominance. The difference is in the intent of the person doing the correction. There is also a...
