This is a new eBay purchase I just won. I bid on it before the reverse was posted hoping no one else would ID it. I will admit that I was a...
I hope you're right, but I only see possible corrosion or damage as explanations for the minimal differences. It's great to have a fellow...
This might help. These are pictures used from the Holmes online auction of an actual S-179 and not the S-175 Breen uses by mistake. [IMG][IMG]...
Here they are! My first photos aren't my best, but I'm anxious to get them posted anyway. This is the S-142 and though I don't think I was...
I actually started to second guess myself and did a side by side comparison of Obverses 22 and 29. They are very close, As far as I can tell, the...
Not what I've come up with yet. Hint! Those who use Breen Early Cents will find this variety has the wrong photo above the description. It uses a...
This is a pickup at my local coin show. It's a 1798 with many Sheldon Varieties. Anyone care to take a guess on attribution and key diagnostics?...
I know this is quite worn and circulated, but the purple tone is on the coin and I think I've captured it on the image. Is it likely original or...
Sometimes the most dramatic rise occurs just before the fall. I remember a spike to over $40 just as the Hunt fiasco was about to collapse the...
I can't see it. If it is plugged, it must have also been tooled. Could it have been a plugged planchet that was stuck?
I would have definitely missed this one. It looked PMD to me.
I'm thinking this is a $1,000+ coin if not for the scratches. Easily the best of the group absent the damage. most of what looks like wear is...
This one only has 5 sales in the Heritage Archives: ANACs F-12 Details $1,150 2/15/08 NCS VG Details $805 1/24/06 NCS G6 $1,092.50 1/13/05...
I wish to step aside on this subject and yield to the metalurgist. Like I said,, I know a little chemistry and I thought there was some melting...
Now what do you think of this second coin from the same seller that I just won? Once again, it belongs on my island of misfit and unloved coins....
I don't think he carries it all the way to 36 or so. Of course, why not if there are less than 100 coins?
They were each different. Far too many were entombed. ANACs was the main culprit. They were G6 to VF30, none of which grade above VF20 by EAC...
A little Chemistry is in order. When a melting point is given such as 787 degrees Fahrenheit, it is actually assuming standard pressure of about...
I think it will go even lower, but not quite that quick. First we have to pass the Hyperinflation crisis, then the Fed will have to be replaced en...
I heard that when I was 25 and it only took a year or two. I find it interesting how the silver sellers conveniently start their charts just...
