I'm envious of your 1799/8. One of my "short list" wants is ANY coin from the 1790's. Haven't checked what the least expensive ones are, but I...
Nice catch at a VF price. Since you seem to be able to identify varieties, would you be willing to look at my 3 and ID mine?
I once drove 40-50 miles to a show with about a dozen dealers. They appeared to be mostly catering to the low-end crowd (not that there was a...
How were the planchets fed into the press? What I'm trying to understand is how a die clash could occur if the planchets were hand fed. Seems to...
Nice die clash on the first coin, right above the date. As good a time as any to ask a question about that. Were these coins struck in hand...
Key to the business strike set.
Mmmmmmmmmm, die breaks. I like them when they become that extensive. Adds personality.
It would have to be slabbed before I'd consider purchasing it. The weakness in the banner disturbs me. Also appears that the obverse may have...
The mintmark is in the palm down at the bottom where it flairs out.
Good one. From your pics it looks like the typical strike weakness in the first "I" of "III". The Mint had a terrible time fully striking these...
The last Mint product I bought was in 1985 or 1986. Proof set. Even at that time I could see it getting out of hand.
Copper coins are notoriously difficult to image. The darker the coin, the worse the problem. And a light background compounds the problem....
A flip is okay for that coin IF it's a PVC-free flip. How do you tell the difference? PVC flips are nice and bendy. PVC-free flips almost feel...
Nice coin. I'm particularly fond of half cents. I've only got one Draped Bust so far (1806), but I keep looking.
Yes, coins can remain essentially free of tone if they were lucky enough to be stored under good conditions. I personally would not buy an...
But people here are more coin savvy than on eBay. You'll get CDN price here, but more likely Coin Values price on eBay.
I've got no problem with this. Render an opinion of a coin's grade AND tell us how you arrived at it. And if you have a bias for or against...
CDN indicates it's worth about $350. Coin Values shows about $450. I bet since it's NGC slabbed you could get the $450 on eBay. If you'll accept...
Good post. I learned something. I thought FSB pertained to the middle bands only BUT because of this post I went to the PCGS site. They said the...
