I checked Heritage Archives and this is definitely the lowest condition of the 8 in their records. It is about the same as the others in detail...
Alternative theories: It was slightly bulged at the mint. It was slightly bulged post mint. There was a shallow countermark early in it's...
That's what I came up with. This is the first appearance of the style 2 punches (Most easily seen on the L and R) which were generally used on...
I suspect so, but I never entomb my copper.
Those kinds of pickups are special, aren't they?
I just won this after posting a bid a couple of days ago and fully expecting to get sniped at the last second. Perhaps the last two bids this...

Funny thing. That's the exact reason I would question it. I thought AU 55 or AU58 and I'm not usually that close on these.

Jus a little reasoning for me. Same grade with more luster, less wear and more distracting toning on the 26. Nets out the same. The toning at the...
That part I can figure out. There are no MS65's for that variety. There is a double struck AU50/EAC 40 and the next best is EAC30. There is a...
I hadn't thought about that one. Thanks.
I thought I knew the eBay procedures. But this coin was just sold and the winning bid exceeds the second bid by $5900. I thought the winning...
When I was younger, I could find 1910s, 1917s and 1918s fairly frequently. But never any S early Lincolns. D's were common here for the later two...
I was dubious as soon as I saw a Chicago mailing address.
