If you go on Sunday there's a chance that you'll find half the tables empty. That depends upon whether it's a local show or not. If it's a local...
Most of the time they don't use a loupe. On the occasion they do, it's a 3x to maybe a 5x. And a bit more time is spent on the older keys and...
My experiences indicate that if you submit just before/during/just after a major show ordinary submissions take a LOT longer. Show dealers pay...
I started about 1955; the usual Lincoln cent thing. Didn't really do much until about 1970. Stopped about 1980 thanks to the Hunt brothers....
Thanks for all the compliments. Between the rather "flat" toning and the low relief on the obverse of the half dime my standard lighting setup...
I'm using the NGC Registry Set listing for the 1792-1964 type set as my goal. I've completed the 19th and 20th century portion. All I need is...
The other coin is for my type set. It's a 1797 Draped Bust/Small Eagle/15 Star half dime VF-30. I'm going to have to photo it again; the lighting...
I added one more IHC to my set. It's MS-64 RB. Only four to go. [IMG] [IMG]
Arrrrrrrrrrgh!!!! We're blocked at 1799.

I was doing Capped Bust half dimes by die marriage (yes, I have the Logan/McCloskey book). But that collection is currently on the back burner....
Here's an 1800 half dime: [IMG] [IMG] And here's an 1800 dollar: [IMG] [IMG] I'm not sure there's a design difference!!!??? Just...
I'm running out. Seven more coins with some date duplication. Waiting for 1800.
Looks like you could get a G for $200.
Wait!!! What happened to 1805? Oops, now I see it. Things are happening quickly.
