I was aware of this, but had never seen the Coinweek article. Very interesting! Is the S-158 the only large cent variety thus far affected? I...
Nice Macrinus, zumbly:). I have never bought any coins with Frank Robinson Auctions, but I have heard a lot about him. Here are my two coins of...
ldhair, do you collect the larger diameter Capped Bust Quarters (1815-1828) as well? Those are very interesting too.
I do not remember exactly how much I paid for this 1804 half cent 'spiked-chin' variety, but it was certainly below $35. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
physics-fan, thank you for your kind help with the 1807 CBH. One of the links you highlighted has an example which may interest me. I would...
Very nice! I specially like the 1st example.
I have to agree that there are too many similarities between both coins to conclude any else but that it is either the same, or one a copy of the...
This is my current example. It is the O-112, 50/20 variety, and as I understand it by far the most common variety of the '07 CBD's. It was...

Thanks, physics-fan3.14. I don't remember what this one really looked like before the window-sill treatment. But, it was bright and the hairlines...
Yeah, but isn't that 'illegal'?
Thanks, insider. I was young(er) when this went on the sill:).
Knowingly bought as ''bright with 'wispy' hairlines''. This is what it looks like after 10-12 years of on-and-off window-sill natural sunlight...
Nice one, Mat. I Like it - it has a nice portrait. M.A denarii as caesar are relatively scarce. I also find his portrait styles in his denarii as...
Question: can it always be assumed that an old silver coin that displays a bright silver color, and has not been carefully and hermetically stored...
Chasing those butterflies will burn off the calories fast.....I cannot eat as much as you can, and then only selected foods (age, you know.....I...
Now, let's see: 30+ aureii in FDC at $15K+ a pop makes about......$$$$!!!!!!:woot::woot::woot: Plus, 15 aureii in FDC + 45 solidii in MS makes...
I agree, physics-fan3.14. It must be my poor english. Let us call it an acetone bath. (actually, the dual polar/non-polar character of acetone...
