Here is a really low grade/corroded Tribute Penny my son found last year together with a sestertius. Unfortunately, the soil conditions seem to...
You know, I don't have it in from of me now to examine closely, but the seller (serious EACer - one of the 3/4 well known copper dealers)...
I have read somewhere that planchet clips act detrimentally with regard to the value of early large cents. I can see this being true for other...
