Thank you all very much for your comments. Tdec1000 - i was not aware that varieties of the 1857 date existed. Thank you for pointing that...
You are right there Leadfoot! But i like the half cents as well, they have a charm of their own those little half sisters. And, i have their big...
I have, and also bid on some lots. It's exciting to hear what is goin on in a bidding room half a world away!
Randy, those look pretty much like most of the ones i find metal detecting. Except i have to search hours on end and walk many more miles. So for...
Thank you GD. I think i will go ahead and give this a try. The Krause Coin catalogues are very pricey in Germany, so it makes economic sense to...
Does anybody know about this on-line coin resource site? They offer a years subscription to all of their on-line catalogues (and i guess general...
Thank you all, and thank you H.T for the attribution help! Eduard
The Flying Eagle design is one of my favourite U.S coin designs. There is something about it that captivates me. It is simple, yet elegant and...
Many of you may have seen the recent Exhibit post by Fisch on the die progressions of 1804 half cents. Excellent work! I leant a lot on a series...
Garrett, my feeling is that your coin is real. The appearance looks OK (but cleaned), as does the edge device. I have a few of these, and yours...

Like most people, i guess, i have no trouble spotting really obvious cleaning, specially of silver coins. Unnatural sheen, hairlines from harsh...
Thanks guys. I must say i would not have guessed the 1825 1/2 cent had been cleaned, i rather like the looks of it actually. But, that is why i...
Hi guys, How would you grade this 1825 half cent? Also, here some pics of a New Jersey cent w/o a date. Low grade. I have never seen one w/o a...
Hello Drusus, That is a real coincidence. I still have family in Belgium too. I lived there for many years, in Waterloo, south of Brussels,...
Thank you all very much for your comments. With your assistance in attributing the variety as N-5, I was able to compare against similar...
My opinion is F12. Nice overall. Certainly a good buy for $33. You may want to consider removing whatever is encrusted in the devices by...
My opinion is F12. Nice overall. You may want to consider removing whatever is encrusted in the devices by dipping in acetone. I did this...
Mark, that coin is quite nice, which i would grade as XF45, not quite AU. It is a nice specimen which i would gladly take into my collection....
Very interesting post! I learnt more by reading your post about the revolution of 1790, than i did in all of the 10 years that i lived in...
