I could not refrain from adding my comments to Valentian's concerning the use, or rather misuse of some words in the English language....
On the subject of seller's coin which do not look like the coin in-hand, this is a good example. A side-portrait shilling of the young king Edward...
That one is definitely attributable as a JR-5 'StatesOF'. 10 bucks is a bargain for a 1814 JR-5 so well done! It's only R-3, but very popular....
looks like a repaired hold. N o, it is not (but you said the same thing about the 1800 half dime I posted a few days ago. That was also a...
no, the circular dark spot, just below the point of the bust ?????
I do not rely on Krause for valuations and/or estimations of number of examples extant. In my experience it too general, or outdated. For the...

Thank you all very much for your comments. I really appreciate it. Yes, this is an LM-1, most common of the three 1800 H10C varieties. LM-3 is...
This is another of the early American coins which I bought when I first started collecting U.S issues in the mid 80's. I remember I was very happy...
What I used as marker was a comparison of the the relative placement of the outer star points relative to the most immediate dentils. In this...
It's a fake, guys.
Newcombs are not my strength, and I do not have a guide either, so I have the same problem. As a tip what I do to attribute these is to go to HA...
messydesk, you bring up a good point with regard to the metal striking capabilities in America around 1776. I agree with you, prices will probably...
