There are some fantastic dealers out there. It's just the curmudgeons that get most of the press.
Even these lowly coppers need love too.
I think the bidders are better graders than the seller. It went for approximately F-15 net money ($1300) and that's about what it looks like to...
An index overly weighted by Housing. The housing offsets all the inflation of basic necessities.
I'm leaning toward the S-85 at this point until I get the coin in hand. It's strange that I might get a second S-85 R5- before getting the S-83 R4...
I thought I might post the coins that I acquired that prevent me from bidding on this one. I've won all, but received none so these are the best...
It's definitely Reverse B though the N of ONE doesn't look as if it's leaning to the right as much as in the comparables. It could be the weak...
I am primarily interested in copper and hate to see any early copper entombed. The edge is a part of the coin that gets lost and I want to touch...
I thought everybody new that Beaumont/Port Arthur/Orange were the points of the Golden Triangle in Texas. Perhaps that is just the home cookin'....
To those who are collecting Large Cents on a budget, I'd like to throw this one out there for you since I've already exhausted my budget (I picked...
If you're ever in the Golden Triangle area and have a free moment, I'd be happy to meet you. ps Chris' N-5 attribution at least gives me an idea...
I'm wondering what it looks like without the saturation turned up to the max. I'm not trying to throw cold water on your find, but we all know how...
It looks like very minor rub at the brow which might drop it to AU58. But I've seen it called cabinet friction and pass to MS grades.
OK! Now I get to retreat a bit. I just checked Heritage Archives and enlarged your coins image. The apparent pointing of Star 13 at a dentil may...
What a great find and even better story behind the coin. Congratulations!
I'm bumping this because I'm growing in confidence that this might be that most special of coins, a discovery piece. New observation: I compared...
That is one of the Obverse 4 varieties along with Newcome #6. I'll be interested in how they explain Star 10 pointing between dentils and star 13...
I hope this is not too political, but it's the first move from this President I can agree with. The status as Felon for life for this petty...
I went Thursday and met Rick and John while there. It reminded me of the Goebel line, "Did you ever think the whole world is a tuxedo and you were...
I sold all my remaining silver Thursday so it is due for a dramatic increase now. But I'm happy. I'd rather get out too soon than too late.
