Need better pictures, but even with what you've shown I'd say you have a nice Mint error there.
Yep, same problem. I'll play with it somemore but I don't expect positive results. The two surfaces of the slab (outer and inner) cause all sorts...
I think it was Goodman's book that mentioned camera vibration. Anyway, I got a wireless remote shutter release when I bought my camera so that I...
Thank you. My only resource for large cents is Breen's encyclopedia and I think I need something more specialized for die pairs/varieties. I'll...
The greysheet has a VF '31-S Lincoln priced at about $110. If you are not concerned about cost then go ahead and have it slabbed. BUT Be aware...
I strongly recommend that you don't use the Red Book nor Blue Book for valuing coin. The Red Book is great starting point for background and...
Gotta tell us what it is! Spanish doubloon?

Thanks, all. I'm pleased about your comments with regard to my photography. It's something I've been working on for years. I'm relatively happy...
FYI I made a typo on the half dime image. I've corrected it but haven't downloaded the revision.
As I usually do, I went to the Baltimore Whitman Show on Friday morning. I arrived about 5 minutes before the doors opened to the public. Only...
I'm off to the show. If all goes as expected I'll have some reasonably nice coins to show when I get back. IF the guy got his act together I'll...
I don't have one since I stopped my Lincoln cent set at the end of the wheaties (1958). And I generally don't go in for the error varieties unless...
The "WE" is strong and the horizontal shield lines look full. But from your picture the best I can do is say it's AU or better. Probably MS but...
My personal preference is NOT to buy coins graded MS-60, -61 or -62. Coins with those grades have a problem. If your wallet can't accomodate a...
Probably your best course of action, esp. since you have to submit at least a group of 5 coins if they are worth under $300 each.
You can join either while you're there. In my case I'm a member of the ANA so I can submit to NGC without joining.
Why does Antiques Roadshow stick in my mind?
It wouldn't surprise me if the box were real. But I believe the ropes are new.
It's the rare 24¢ coin! :eek:
