How do you know you've got a case of Old Copper Fever? When you are tempted to buy back your own duplicates you put on consignment. I've found...
Since I and 900fine have seen the coin in hand, I am comfortable with a post mint damage assumption. There is evidence of pink copper along the...
You could never find a coin like that in this area (SE Texas). There's just too much water in the soil. Now East Texas is a totally different...
That deserves PICTURES and further review. Closeups if possible. I would be suspicious of Post Mint engraving.
I agree. Most merchants now have a container of cents which allows you to give or take from to account for the nuisance of rounding to the nearest...
There are two types of auctions. One is where your bid amount is what you pay and one where the sales price is a set amount over a second value...
Perhaps the pronounced nipple on the 1917 is what he's trying to avoid saying. It is more pronounced on the 1917 type 1 than the 1916 type 1. Or...
I purchased it on EBay so I don't know. But it wouldn't surprise me. It's the best explanation for the damage I can come up with. It's a shame...
Same basic process, but I do not see the cleaning (almost never do) and the sufaces are nicer than pictured; however, the damage looks worse in 3D...

I, of course, would love to see Large Cents. I could even offer scuzzy examples.
How would you grade a coin like this? I keep changing my mind (15/6 to 25/10) so other opinions are sought. I went with detail/net (which should...
I see the problem. Canceling your bid is the solution. Others simply ignore the concept of a second LEGITIMATE bidder setting the floor for your...
Well I did get the Breen Encyclopedia of Early US Cents. ( The common Slick Blue 2000 edition) I think i see the break from the rim to the point...
I'd guess that 1966's coin has a better chance of being a proof due to the broad flat rims. But I'm really not the person to answer this question....
Nice find. 1795 C-6 Reverse is evident and diagnostic. I would have sworn it was a 6 though.
I have a couple of 1958s, a 1959, a 1960 LD and 1960 SD. Then a 1977 and then my kids birth years, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1989 and 1990. I've thought...
Pitted early coppers are the only way some of us can afford those kinds of coins. A scuzzy pitted coin may be worth 30-50% of an average condition...
Yep. Now to see if they let me stay with 14 of the last 15 posts
Right now, changes in design and composition are the purview of Congress. Does it really surprise you that Obama wants this power in the Executive...
