I'm so disappointed. I thought I was going to get it for ten dollars. Of course if they're selling a coin they do not own, I still came out ahead...
For a condition census coin, I believe you'll get the most value from EAC, even if it's not the highest grade. Most EACers like the coin in the...
I would get an EAC grade and CC ranking by the big guys with a coin this nice. It's nice to get your coin recognized in case it ever disappears....
Call me a skeptic, but it looks too well struck and too good for the conditions described where it was found. I hope I'm wrong.
There's no need to actually mint coins or print currency. The fed is doing this already. It simply buys T-bills with electronic money it creates...
Ken got snookered. I never paid more than a quarter a gallon for my mower fuel. (I couldn't drive yet) Of course that 63 quarter would get me two...
It certainly is that.
OK! I guess it's time to show you why I asked the question. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260821664489 This is either a...
On a Large Cent, I would describe it as microscopic porosity. What others call bevelled planchet, I call thin planchet. I have a 1866 with this...

With the emergence of fairly high quality counterfeits of Large Cents, do you think any new discovery of a Cent with both a new obverse and a new...
I wonder if the buyer paid attention to the $8 shipping?
I have a take on this situation and all insurance for that matter. In a situation where there is a total loss, the insured amount IS the loss,...
I too prefer Wright's The Cent Book for middle dates. I have a copy which might be unique or nearly so. It is signed by both John AND Mabel and...
I even relented and bid myself, but 5 people overbid me. Good thing. I really didn't have the money to win.
I think it did wind up drawing a premium over a typical lettered edge Fr2.
Someone certainly liked it.
1802 happens to be the only year where I completed the set (except for NC-1 and NC-2). The twelve reverses are quite easy to distinguish. The...
They charge enough for the attribution, so they should guarantee it.
This is an unattributed 1796 Draped bust with both meat and damage. It is also the S-116 rated as R5. The Reverse X is noted by three triplets...
