The reverse is easy enough to identify, but it's impossible to determine which of the three obverse pairings it is. Statistically, it is probably...
During the Bicentennial, souvenirs were coming from anybody who could mold, mint or extrude any type of material. It could be anything. By the...
This is my candidate. For me the worst must show the promise of something better which has become irretrievably damaged....
I'm thinking someone recently tried a home repair which accounts for the new copper color on the highest points of the damaged area. Fortunately...
Thank you. Both were Ebay pickups in the last month which I got in yesterday. I think the identification of the S-85 was made easier when I...
Another 1796 iberty Cap This is another 1796 Liberty Cap I obtained recently. It's not mutilated, but has plenty of honest wear.
Now for some fun. What variety and grade would you give it? I know what I think. How about some second opinions?
Are you able to to pull up the full size picture by clicking the thumbnail? I'm still learning the nuances of posting pictures.
I was pleased to get this mutilated coin which I know many wouldn't want in their collection. Would you be pleased?
I use Sheldon's Penny Whimsy for descriptions with The 2009 Pre Longbeach online catalog for pictures for Early dates. It also includes the new...
I have to think it was struck, not mutilated. There is just too much copper beyond the denticles unless it was trimmed down from an off center...
I'm sorry. No S's between 1955 and 1968 so that should eliminate the D/S, I would look at the Large date over small date though. There seems to be...
There certainly seems to be a lot of curve in the first Mintmark. I'd really look at the D/S as a possibility. Excuse me. No Ss between 1955 and...
Stewart. Thanks for the photograde information. I built my own photograde type information for large cents based on the Pre Longbeach sale last...
I'm going to step back to the old days. S mint cents were scarce East of the Rockies and often carried a premium. This premium was from around 2...

I hadn't realized I had an old thread, but it's still a nice coin.
There doesn't seem to be any shortage of ridiculous starting bids or Buy it now offerings. Most of the time they're armed with an inflated detail...
You must be the one of the guys I'm bidding against. I've gotten 2 unattributed R5s (S-85 and S-86) recently and they are on their way. I've...
I'm pretty sure I have the S-133 with the perfect B. The J reverse is fairly easy to see; though the Berry at E seems a little low, and the...
