With those pictures, there shouldn't have been any surprises.
You did well. Most of the 16-ds I've seen are worn to the point you can't really tell for sure it's really a 16-d. This is a no brainer. Perhaps...
This is the first coin I ever purchased. It was a Christmas gift for my dad in 1968. My father got me into coin collecting before that though he...
Anyway, that's MY opinion for what it's worth.
With silver value about $15, I'd pay a $5 numismatic premium for it. This is really the point of grading it anyway, isn't it? What will someone...
Of course there are some of us who believe that individual liberty took a beating in the War of Northern Aggression. The Yankees wanted the right...
I decided to try again with the photos. [IMG] [IMG] I wish these were as easy to focus as my old Minolta.
I know this is far off the subject, but I wonder what the oldest print would look like. Could an old print of a founder be preserved in such a...
I think Leadfoot has it right. The N-11 has the long parallel lips known as Longmouth (Obverse 10) with the 9 a little high and leaning right and...
I'm just adding the pictures of the N-5 to show why it's not N-5. Note the distance from the upper L to the tip of the coronet as well as the...
I'm using Wright's 'The Cent Book' which also indicates both the N-5 and N-10 are the same Obverse with the N-10 being the late state die after it...
Beautiful Coin, but definitely NOT N-5. The coronet parallels the L. On the reverse, the fourth leaf is under the left side of the upright and not...
It's always officially been the cent and always unofficially called the penny for the copper in use at the time as well. No big deal. No one calls...
The S-270. Easy attribution since it's the only variety for the date.
It's shiney, but it's from circulation and it's already got the spots from the zinc bubbling under the copper. It looks like measles. It there a...
Nice S-21. Make sure to check the edge device since variants keep popping up in the pairings just prior to this one.
Nice overdate with a strong 5 under that 6.
I know I don't get out much, but I just got my first shield cent. It will be interesting to see how it tones.
Unfortunately, the best designs are excluded from your list due to denomination. "(not including half or large cents, 2, 3 cents, 1/2 dimes, 20...
Nice Apple Cheeks! S-24 Later die state (crack at L extends all the way down to the right of 4) in enviable condition. All I need to do is win the...
