"Slab pimps..." Thanks for the chuckle @medoraman.
Maybe he just put it up to see if anyone would bite before spending the grading fees on a clearly problem coin.
Genuine but heavily polished, scar across the forehead and reverse rim damage. I wouldn't put it in my collection, but everyone needs a flowing...
He was significant enough to have the mint make him some 21 Morgan proofs. I wish I could get the Denver mint to make me a unique proof set every...
I would agree with all of the above. Early US copper is a world all its own and most of the collectors are much more advanced than the stage of...
Nice grab. I was pretty sure that it was genuine but started doubting myself after some of the posts. Good to know the gut still works.
Books may come off a bit short once in a while, but frankly his advice is sound. I've been collecting since before I can remember but I still take...

Thanks for the catch. Stupid autocorrect.
Unfortunately I don't get to enough shows for vest pocket dealing to be very effective anymore, but it has worked for me in the past as well. I...
My high was on a PR-65 half cent. Though I have a few coins that are a little more valuable, I often have to do trades for them.
Another nice one, but I just don't know. AU-53 maybe...
Lovely. MS-66
Genuine XF details cleaned.
I don't roll hunt too much, but I find a pretty high number of red '59 memorial cents. I keep them all.
Nah, leave her free. The 81-S is very common in high grades. I'd grade it MS-64.
