I cannot help but admire someone who quotes Dr. Seuss in rational discourse. :)
My personal opinion of published price guides is they're irrelevant for retail purchasers. The important price guide is what people are paying for...
That too. :)
Keep this in mind when using auction results to determine fair value for coins. They all do it, but Heritage is becoming usurious.
The Half Dime, 10 times out of 10. The Double Eagle is a poor strike from a common year, and the Half Dime is a high-end (PCGS has only 13 higher...
I'm actually a real fan of vacuum-sealing for long-term storage. Oxygen is the numismatist's greatest enemy.

I *love* to attribute stuff out of my comfort zone, but run in panic from later date Large Cents. :)
White Balance is off on the images; that's what is throwing us off on the color. Therefore we can't form anything but guesses as to surface...
What part of "I'm not particularly happy with the seller for presenting an end-stage toner like this" did you miss? The fact that I try (not...
