My first thought was S-120 and I was wondering about the edge. Upon further evaluation, It appears to be a S-137 with the Reverse called The...
I don't think it's the VAM-60. The MM position is wrong. This is more centered than the high and left VAM-60.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry about this one. I notified the seller of the obvious alteration of the 1798 S-166 to a "1799" and the...
Most of the early American Coinage has recognizable die varieties. Redbook varieties are usually groups of coins with similar characteristics...
I concur on the S-58 R3. The detail grade is difficult due to uneven wear at the top of the obverse. I would go with G4 Detail Net AG3/damaged....
Of course even those few are reduced if you count NC varieties like the 1799 NC-1.
OK! I'm almost convinced. Can anyone show me a S-194 with the spike on the left stem? I see it on every S-195 and none of the S-194s.
[IMG] Photo added. Now this is why I need feedback. I've been trying to prove the irrelevant thinking the S-196 and S-195 shared the same...
This one never took off so I'll tell you what i came up with. S-195. The crack I initially used is pretty worn so I found a better marker to...
Grading damaged coins is always difficult. I can make a case for detail grades of 3 or as high as 5 due to dentilation and mostly complete date...
I was sniped last time, but I got it this time. A bit of pitting on the obverse this time, but attribution is certain with the type 2 R and...
That is a beautiful example of a coin which has recently begun to catch my interest.
It came in this afternoon. I don't think I actually said what I think the attribution is though you can probably figure it out from my...
Bless her little heart... I wonder if I can find my Nixon - Agnew button from the same campaign? I know I have seen it within the last few years...
I certainly hope this is a uniface, but I often get disappointed with an initial conclusion which doesn't hold up to scrutiny over time. I guess...
OK! I'll weigh in on Definite Obverse 36 due to the pole only extending to the end of the bust and not on toward the rim. Hair matches up. Now I...
Here is a brand new pickup. [IMG] This is a closeup of particular Points of Interest. [IMG] [IMG] What do you guys think?
It is not mentioned in Breen, but one difference between the very similar Reverses U (S-169, S-170 and S-171; Breen T) and BB (S-179; Breen AA) is...
I'm glad too since my budget was busted several hundred dollars ago.
You would have to have gone more than double to get it. I'll post better pictures when it comes in. It looks almost like a twin to the Holmes coin...
