I would grade this coin G4/VG8, so average G6 is about correct. As far as variety, closest I can get to pinning it down is S-169 (R-3) or 171...
Robinson put out a new edition (19th edition) dated october 2008, so that is a fairly recent and actual guide. It is interesting to go through...
Good luck in your quest; it will be fun. You should be able to locate one in the grade you specified, even if problem free specimens do not show...
Interesting topic. I certainly prefer the green shades of patina over dark or black patina, and also over "Tiber" or river patina. I have heard,...
Not that I am aware of. Never seen an 1822 10C cast from rusty dies. I've compared the OP coin with my 2 1822's and everything looks OK, save the...
Thank you, mat.
Nice standards everyone. I am still missing a Septimius Severus legionary denarius in my collection, but here is a Nero denarius with standards...

That is a nice coin Kanga. It is a date I do not have. Don't forget to show us your 1811 C-1 and C-2 when you get them! If I may ask, do...
Once again, thanks all for your comments. Based on your input I will describe this coin in my inventory as EAC net 30. Here is Dan Holmes...
Thank all for your feedback. I would expect the TPG's to possibly details grade this due to a possible recoloring (and I am not sure about that...
Was it in one of the coin shops on the Rue de Midi? Maison Williame perhaps? I used to go there often many years ago. Great place for...
It would be interesting to review the Heritage archives to assess the rate of appearance of S-1,S-2, S-3 and S-4, and to confirm/verify CQR's...
This is the S-241 variety, Stemless. "S" first cut too low, then corrected. Would greatly appreciate your grade opinions, as I am inventoring...
I was going to say, unusual to see Cheetah dabbling in "modern" coins.
