Interesting point. Recall the hokey e-bay 1913 V nickel scam.
Apparently there are a lot of keepers. Austin is saturated with refugees from California. Few move back.
Yep, we are agreed... that's the area that looked like possible tooling.
E-Bay is not a coin company. They are not a sales company. They are a technology company. Their view of the vast majority of the listings is...
True dat. Sure, PCGS (and others) have representatives at shows. But I have never seen them give out opinions of any kind other than "Submit it...
This URL states "These are listed by Pollock as splashers for 3 cent pieces." What is a "splasher" ? Is it a trial sent out to dignitaries or...

Looks like a nice coin. Can you post a photo with better lighting ? This one seems to have sweeter fields than the 25-D, but it's hard to say from...
Incuse Indians get rub on their cheeks. Are you able to touch the cheek bone with your finger ? Yes. Yes, you can. And it's inevitable that...
That would be an easy accident to make, particularly on-line.
The same way all other incuse coins get rubs on their cheeks. Why would incuse lines prevent rub on the cheek, which is the highest point of the...
AU53. Definite rub on the Indian's cheek. Some obverse dings. Reverse is better, very nice - almost no nicks, and good strike on the eagle's...
Separate names with a comma.
