Lucky you. I tried to get all 12 of the 1804 half cent die varieties, but could never find this one. I knew a couple of big collectors who had...
I owned half of 1793 Liberty Cap with another collector about 50 years ago. We paid $20 for it and sold it for $30. You can image how bad it was....
I have had a really nice 1794 cent for quite a while. The 1799 is probably something I will never acquire. This one was in Dan Holmes' collection....
“Richard” Richard is another common English name, but over the British millennium, only three rulers have had it. The first Richard, who was...
Over time I am gradually building a date set of cents from 1793 to 2024. I'll probably never finish it, but it's fun to add a piece now and then....
Stephen, Ruled 1135 to 1154 “Stephen” is not the most common of male names, but during their nearly 1,000 year history of the modern British...
I collect British coins more for their history that anything else. I wrote this article, but when I finished it, I knew it was not suitable for a...
It all depends if you can get past the problem and can afford better. The 1916-D Mercury Dime is much more expensive that it was two decades ago....
Monitor tokens have become very popular. Despite the fact that most of them are fairly common, demand as driven up prices to surprising levels, at...
Most everything is in the bank. As for my wife, she is quite nice and far brighter than I am.
@Publius2 was looking for a "Our little Monitor" Civil War token and was successful. I mentioned to him that there was an Indiana Primitive...
I found this semi-key date at the FUN show. [ATTACH] The heart of the Indian Cent set runs from 1866 to 1878. Aside from those dates, only the...
When I was kid, I could never purchase an 1886 cent in anything better than VG (today's Fine) for whatever reason. I found this one early in my...
64. The surfaces are virtually mark free, but it looks a little cloudy.
Most of the 1877 Indian Cents are over graded. That’s been true at least since I was a dealer almost 30 years ago. JJ Teaparty had the one I...
For me it’s the “LIBERTY.” Many pieces graded VF have only half or three quarters of it.
Unless the bill is like cut in half with two bills showing on it, the answer is no. Centering a big deal for pricing paper money.
The white balance is off in that photo. The coin appears to be too "yellow." I don't know if it's less than perfect photo processing or if they...
Great! Enjoy them!
When I was high school, Indian Cents were my thing. I eventually completed the collection and then sold it in a down market in the early 1970s....
