This isn't a known variety or even close in design. The condition is great, too great. I strongly suspect a Chinese counterfeit....
I'm pretty astute on many elements of Large Cents, but this one has me scratching my head....
I skipped the middle of the threads, but the first thing I noticed was the double image on the left of the final image. This could be from a loose...
Guess what guys? If you missed out on the last S-42 R4-, here's another one with less damage and more wear. The price three days out is $33.77. He...

[IMG] These are the signs of multiple strikes. The numerous vertical portions of the lettering are too numerous to point out and difficult to...
This is a coin with a more severe multiple strike, but you can see the effect is the same. [IMG] [IMG] S-127 from the Holmes online catalog....
It may depend on geography. As late as 1980, about every tenth nickel in this area was a 1964-D. It still holds the record of 1.7 Billion produced...

Thank you for the opportunity to go into this. In 1949, William Sheldon introduced several new concepts for evaluating coins. One was the 70...
I can't believe 5 bidders as of 6:45 AM CST.
I learned the hard way that you can never take any coin etiquette for granted when I brought some nicer raw coins to a coin club and some members...
Can I be an adjunct professor of Early Date Large Cents? My EAC number is #1799 (just means I'm OLD) and I love attribution.
I almost gagged when I saw,"Tape Numbers on them." The glue residue can begin the process of corrosion so my advice is to use a container ,...
