I think I have it, but I'd like to see others draw the same conclusion.
Well, as happens from time to time, I have run across a misattributed Large Cent in my own collection. This was labeled (by me) as a S-170 but I...
These are my S-166s. The first is a recent acquisition and the second is an example of my early collection. It is reflective of the change in my...

At what point does damage to an uncirculated coin cause it to fall out of Mint State grading? I'd call this MS60- Detail and VF30 net for...
Your post makes me think that we could bring back the higher denominations of coins from the past in a base metal. $2.50 Quarter Eagle $5.00 Half...
