Here's my contribution: This 1853 No Arrows dime is the plate coin from Kamal Ahwash's seminal book on Liberty Seated dimes. Indeed, that is why...
Keep Coin B or keep both. Pro Coin B: IMHO, you would really have to be a huge fan of the circcam look to overlook Coin B's higher grade,...
Keep the 54-O. Despite lower grade, it's the more desirable coin from a market standpoint. Since your type set is a mid-grade collection, the...
B because of much better strike and whatever caused PCGS to give it a 64 isn't distracting. I fine A's poor strike much more distracting....
Picked up 3 of the new CACG boxes at the latest FUN show. I like the boxes just fine except for one idiosyncrasy. I found that if you insert...
I assume this comment was directed at me. If so, I can't determine what you're trying to tell me. I really don't see why I should submit it for...
Those LCC auctions almost never contain anything that interests me but when I saw this one and examined it closely, I really couldn't see why it...
I don't know much of anything on the topic of fractional currency but I couldn't resist this cute little 5 Cent piece offered at my local coin...
I gave CACG five coins for crossover at the FUN show and one for stickering. While none crossed or stickered, I did get the results within two...
Thanks for the clarification. I suspected that might be the case.
The two books previously cited are both great. I have both. But the New Jersey State Coppers, Siboni, et.al. c2013 has a new edition called the...
My bad memory, it was a Leeds & Northrup Conitel 2500 system.
Same as my experience. Last week fine, today bupkis. Probably just a temporary problem. I remember back in the early 1970s, we used a Lockheed...
I think it's the C-6, R-1. Uneven date, 0 low, lowest hair curl directly over gap between 0 and 9. Reverse upper left leaf tip close to halfway...
Both types, small and large motto. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Thanks. I thought so. But it's not a perfect 65. There are some small spots on the obverse, the most noticeable being the one at the right-most...
My photo makes it look darker than in-hand. The coin has a steely somewhat bright silvery look. I hate to say it but the NGC photos (below) are...
Three I picked up at FUN in Orlando. All upgrades for existing coins in the type set. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I like the way you're presenting your photographs.
Looks tooled to me. Notice the vertical lines (pale gules) in the shield. They also look tooled by someone with no skill.
