I can't for the life of me figure out why it went that high. Much nicer examples have sold in the $400-$600 range within the last two years. It...
Half Cents are NOT my specialty so take this with a grain of salt. My best guess is C-2 based on the slightly left location of the berry under the...
I can't see it well, but I think you're right on the notch between the 1 and 7. By the way, oddly enough, there is another S-47 which is sharp,...
The doublet leaves under ME make the Reverse S a simple call. The trick is whether it's Obverse 11, 12 or 13. The HWH is under the upright of the...
This is an unattributed S-47. An interesting bit of trivia about this variety is that it shares the obverse of the S-48 starred reverse and was...
If local and state officials persist in increasing the burden on shows, there will soon be less of them or none. The law of unintended...
I have a hard time above VG with grading. I see the 'same' wear called anything from F to XF even on the photograde. I'll go with drool 15.
Many Large Cents shout out their variety in the early dates. But sometimes it does take some detective work. This is an example of the second. The...
A worn counterfeit is always a possibility when dealing with photos. But the hair detail that is there indicates it would have to be based on...
Hard times REVEALS character or lack of same. Those who lack character show it when times are hard. Of course, good times enable those without...
I guess there is no use disguising what I'm looking at. I'm looking at a 1794 Obverse 2 in fair condition. The top two shorter locks above a...
I know this will have many answers, but I'm seeking a consensus. What reduction in value do you give a coin where one side is fair and the other...
That's interesting. I used the apparent break over the S to draw that same conclusion between S-199 and S-200. That S-276 look like a nice one if...
OK! I'll do the play by play for you. I first determined was obverse 9 from the break above the ribbon. Then I looked at the reverse and it...
I guess I'll give it one more day.

This is a probable rather than a confirmed variety because of the extensive damage. It appears to be a S-199 R4 to me. Take a look and see what...
I wonder how long this has had this date? Was the re-toning natural or enhanced? With nothing particularly rare about the 1817, why was it done?...
There's no such thing as a copper that isn't special.
Don't let that coin near me. The drool would ruin it.
