Yep. Almost have to with these early coppers. Even the Ellsworth Collection of Half Cents has some "problem" coins.
I agree with the grade of G-4, major damage, net PO-1. After all, that's only a drop of two slots (G4 -> AG3 -> PO-1). Damage like that is really...
Nowhere on the form *-OR-* the website do they mention the $5 price tag. :rolling: It's not the money... it's that I don't know how much to...
Hmmmmm.... I just got through printing out a PCGS submission form, and apparently they no longer offer photo service ! Does anyone know anything...
Interesting thread about doubling... http://www.cointalk.org/showthread.php?t=4446&highlight=STRIKE+DOUBLING
It screams "fake" because it IS fake. And a poor one at that. Too many problems to list... Liberty's face, bun, denticles, stars...
The "T" in CENT has doubling on both sides of the upright. If that's the result of a doubled die, that would mean "T" was repunched twice... once...
I remember this being an issue 35 years ago. I read about it in Coin World when I was a kid.
Somehow, I doubt the Big Dogs missed it, but one never knows. There are still undiscovered Discovery Coins. Is it a distinct die variety ?...
A badge of honor ! :hug:
Should be easy enough. Plenty of $10 Jeffersons at $500 or less, and those are the best looking by far. I'm with you, CS99. I'll grab one of...
I don't have Cohen's book, but I have Breen's "Encyclopedia of US Half Cents". Yes, this is Cohen-1 (R-3), the scarcest of the three varieties of...
Very strong. Congrats ! I'm amazed.
True... as with most Morgans, strike weakness shows up in the hair above the ear. The coin in question has poor detail throughout, not just...
XF40. To me, the coin is clearly circulated. This coin is nowhere near mint state. Maybe VF35.
Fair enough. But the humidity of my "coin space" can be much lower than the living space. For instance, put lots of dessicant in a safe.
Hey guys, We've had a number of posts regarding proper coin storage and protection. It's widely known that high humidity is bad for long term...
It will be interesting to see how the dust settles ! :confused: When folks are closely guarding the facts, it's often hard to tell truth from...
Virtually all modern proof coins are fabulous quality; you have to be to get a 69, and there are very few 68 or lower. I bet you could tell the...
Nice work, toad ! I'm thinking VF30 details, a few bumps and nicks, particularly obverse, net F15. Nice color ! Copper is cool. Classic...
