The 1864-L has a pointed bust whereas the non-L are rounded bust. This is used to tell "L" even in poor grades on the 1864 IHC if you get a chance...
I have nothing but praise for my bank ~ RABOBANK. The vault teller actually opened 6 boxes of cents last week in front of me looking for a box of...
The coin seems to be on the point of if something is not done, will eventually create irreversible damage. If it is acceptable to you in the...
It doesn't look like a 7/6, and I can't find any in a reference. What is the deep grove appearing thing from the eagles tailfeathers to the "7". I...
I would stick with the S-3 69/69 RPD. Look at the west inside of the loop of the "6", see the small edge ( clicked high magnification). I also...
They may have a coin counter if they are a shop, and I see nothing to make them any different than most of the "unsearched" sellers. Actually ,...

Next year it may be the PandaHummer. Jim
Of course the question is if you found such a roll, could you afford it? could you afford not to get it? If some one was selling an OBW BU...
Nice going, I agree with this one. They are difficult to find. Jim
I suspect that most of the managers that proclaim and support the holding of gold, rather in the forum of in-hand bullion, exchange traded funds...
Hi Rock, I should have worded my response a little better. Lange mentions that about half of 1937 cents have a master die doubling ( which...
Assuming that all is as you said, You made a big mistake opening it in front of 2 people and giving them actual samples. You should immediately...
There are a lot of us around!:goofer: The "One coin short " club. Jim
The ancient texts say that if you truly complete a "set" of any series your mind will no longer be "complete". Always stay one coin short. Jim
