I was watching the CNG e-sale close today and noticed this As of Herennia Etruscilla with Pudicitia on the reverse. I have a similar as of...
The estimated total number of extant proofs for his year, is, from what I can gather, lower than the estimated extant total number of circulation...
I finally took some better pictures of this 1861 Seated Dollar which I have had for many years. The close-up of the shield reveals some fine...
Excellent detective work, Jack! Worth noting that the counterfeiters chose S-139, which is one of the most common 1797 varieties for their...
I went to Summer Fun 3 years in a row between 2012-2014. Enjoyed it because of the novelty for me coming from Germany. Well attended and many...
A fairly rare example of TPG early cent grading actually matching EAC grading. I grade it F12 as well, with the obverse arguably slightly higher,...
I fully agree. The work which Jack is doing is invaluable to collectors. I hope that the Secret Service see that, and, that it is in fact a...
Grade-wise I would go Vf25. It's a B-9, R-1. Nice details, but I am not sure about the toning.

A good one in Ebay is Ebay seller Indeetlib. Very wide selection on old US coppers and colonial coins - all price ranges. Have never bought from...
Jack, that is a beautiful example! I remember reading about the Lord St. Oswald collection - bought directly from the Philadelphia mint in...
In 1992 or 93.
Yes, it is S-71, head of 1795. I did not know they are uncommon in better condition. I guess it is one of those varieties which early copper...
1816 Cent. Long ago purchase for what amounts to approx. $45 today. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Common but nice 1853 Seated Quarter - Arrows and Rays. $ 25. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Thanks guys. I appreciate the comments and also the advice to get it slabbed. However, putting my coppers in plastic is not an option for me.
Still a lovely coin, in my opinion. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
A very nice F15, beautiful original toning. Circulation marks, if any, are minimal and fully acceptable.
Thank you, Randy:) Checked HA archives for other O-117's. It lists this example which clearly displays the 'beard' under the chin, as in my coin....
