It's been my experience that the prices listed in the previous post are too low. Of course, I collect pieces that grade at least VF, so that might...
If you want die state information, Breen has it for each variety. It also has extensive auction results up to the time the information was...
That would be the Breen book. Del Bland did a lot of work on it after Breen went to prison. It has the information you are looking as of the time...
Add to that the fact that cents are made of base metal, the answer is no. There are too many survivors to make them valuable. I collected all of...
This is an example of how copper-nickel coins look when they are corroded. These pieces most often turn black, but green spots are also possible....

In a way, these political items are much more interesting than coin sets which come down to a line of the same design with different dates and...
