Both 1811 varieties will be in lower grades. I'm looking at VF, but may have to settle for F. I need to find a dealer looking to get rid of a VF...
Ten down, five to go. 1809, 9 over inverted 9, Classic Head Half Cent [Image deleted. See new version below.] Not my final picture. I want...
I've got a few candidates for this post but I'm in the middle of re-imaging my collection, so the pics I have aren't the best. And then I have...
That's the sort of thing I had in mind. Nice font too.
First, the suggestion. SUGGESTION: CoinTalk members wear a badge at shows to identify themselves to other CT members. I'm sure I've walked right...
I use something similar to what you showed. See here: [IMG] I tried a tripod for a while but the legs were giving me grief (getting in the way,...
And yet when a person uses the term "double die" they are often corrected without all the extra discussion. Yet we all know what is being referred...
In your case, I consider it poetic license.
Really nice looking coins, and probably a lot more impressive in hand. In general groups of coins cost less than each coin bought individually....
I would consider that not to be an unreasonable price. But I think someday you'll want to upgrade to a better coin and I don't think you'd get...
Again it's a common term but this time I suspect it's US in origin. Probably arose sometime shortly after the Shield 5-cent issue started. And...
If it's like all the other Whitman shows I go to, it's free.

If you want to be considered reasonably savvy about US coins, don't call it a "penny". Call it a "cent" (just look at the back of the coin)....
Which means the seller overstated the grade. I'll go along with -63. But the seller said Gem BU. Doesn't that start at -65?
Anyone going to be there? On either side of the tables? I expect to be there Friday the 25th. I'll probably take Amtrak up from DC. Driving...
My question would be different. Why the HECK would anyone buy it raw!??!??
Interesting. This is the second time in here that I've seen the 1917 Type I touted as being better struck than the average SLQ. Here's mine, and...
I disagree. As an ex-Fed, I used to write a lot of procurement documents, technical specs and user manuals. I was good. But those documents would...
Coin Values lose it sometimes on their listings. I suspect that if looked at older copies you will see that the price hasn't changed for several...
Separate names with a comma.
