I’ll drop a hint. It is NOT an 1803. Note: If someone answers correctly before Sunday (PST), I will give them Best Answer. If not, I will simply...
Here’s a large cent I just bought for about $25ish. It was marked dateless by the seller, however, this is a pretty easy Sheldon to identify....
Thanks. I don’t collect EACs much at the moment, I only have one unattributed 1798, but it looks really fun to hunt for rare varieties and buy...
Awesome coin! It does seem to be the NC - congrats! By the way, are very low grade 1796 Busts worth anything? I know the 1796 Bust is a tough...
It’s a poorly made Chinese counterfeit, not even made of silver. The toning, denticles, date, strike, and mintmark all look wrong. A real 1870-CC...
Why am I not collecting EAC? :D It seems like a lot of 96 busts have very small fractions, but not all of them do. Edit: The Reverses of 94 and...
What date? 1880 and 1881 shield nickels will be worth much more than 1867s and 1868s.
I feel like there’s about one Wheatie for every 50-150 cents. This bottle is a bit older so there might be a few more wheaties in it. Saving...
The technology for making fake diamonds is getting better and better. Soon they will be indistinguishable and the price of diamonds will crash....
Now that you guys bring it up, and after looking at it a second time, I would grade it Not Encapsulated - Questionable Authenticity. There are...
It looks cleaned to me.
Sometimes it’s not just the characteristics of a proof coin such as the squared off rims, as evidenced by early copper nickel coins. Sometimes you...
This is a proof coin. I can tell by the denticles. On a circulation strike, the bottom of the second 8 points to the space between two denticles,...
Look in the buy/sell/trade section of the forum - some members have CAC memberships and may be willing to send coins in for you.
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] I hate to bring this thread down a level. $57. Fuld R-8.
Yup. THAT mintmark = popularity.
Wow. Only MS62? Gold bean candidate.
I thought at least two 1849 double eagles were struck in gold, and the other one (the one not seen in the Smithsonian) was auctioned in the 1880s...
I’m gonna have to agree with VKB here. Never dip a coin below a strong AU, especially if it is something this old. It took 175 years to get the...
It looks great! This is really quite a scarce coin. You did well. Looks original too.
