OK, guys, I welcome any further opinions on the grade of this coin.
Almost all (if not all) S-277's are struck slightly off-center. Also, this does not diminish the value of early cents in general.
This interesting discussion (which I am quoting from another forum) discusses this very point with regard to S-277: ''...The S-277 obverse and...
Thank you Mat, C-B-D and SuperDave for your comments. You may be right, Dave, who knows. However, concerning the obverse weakness of S-277,...
Very pleased with the overall appearance of this 1808 Classic Head. Three varieties are known for the year, this one is S-277, Rarity-2. The...
Congratulations to the O.P on a significant numismatic achievement!
I agree heartily, and will speak very highly of Richard Uhrich. He was very helpful in helping me find some scarce dimes that I was looking for.
That is a pretty and very heterogeneous grouping of coins. Two Trajans, a Domitian and a nice Marcus Aurelius sestertius from the Imperial side....
A interesting coin with an unusual portrait of Trajan! Seems quite scarce as well? Provincials is one area of numismatics I have never gotten...
Das glaube ich gerne! Schön ist er. Glückwunsch! Habe selber nur ein Pertinax As in meiner Sammlung. Der war aber noch erschwinglich. Nice...
Thank you for your extensive reply, TIF and for your best wishes. (I need to remember to be more careful next time when lifting weights, and not...

I thought I din't have any 'Voting' coins, but I did find this picture of the Central Voting and Polling Station in Rome. It doubled up as the...
I was planning to attend, as I always do, but I hurt my leg and am not able to drive. Fortunately, I was able to bid by phone, and managed to...
That is exactly correct. Demand is what drives it. Numismatics is full of such oddities, including german numismatics. Plenty of extremely rare...
The reverse reads 'Mourn Him and Avenge Him' The obverse carries the name of the Kings, and I believe, the name of the maker of this medal....
Beautiful coin, TIF. I really feel sorely tempted when I see the R.R denarii you and the other members post...but alas, I am busy enough with my...
I don't have any coins that I would qualify as 'scary', but I do remember when I posted this Drusus sestertius some 5 years ago Mat said it looked...
@Alegandron, thank you for posting your examples of LIBERTAS denarii, (and for your kind words:)). I too really enjoy your posts, and the...
Thank you all for your opinions. I usually do not have trouble grading U.S coins, except for coins in the AU range, as I had assumed this was....
