Well Jessash, I certainly respect Kurt's opinion. I would hang on to the coin until you might be able to get more detailed photos of the date...

Kurt, you must see better than I, as I could not see the repunching, such as the "1". That is why I thought the original coin was not a RPD....
Thank you, This series is fun to try and cherrypick. Show dealers don't seem to pay much attention to the 3 CN varieties. The prices aren't too...
Not sure if Miracle Whip has any egg yokes in it, but they are heavy in sulfur, which is not good for coins. Mom's old Mayonnaise sure did. Jim

I think the poll on the economics of coin exchange will be interesting, but like the effects on the secondary market associated with a possible...

Sorry, I missed this direct question way back, but No, I can't say that as I don't have any reference point to do so. It is similar to the...
The only one I have seen is not just cents, but other denominations, is Official Price Guide to Mint Errors by Alan Herbert. Jim
Hey, it is a cool coin! Imagine that the die could barely hold together to strike those. There were over 130 obv. dies for 1865 3cent and they...
If you are looking at the 3N-1865-302 ( 001.5), The crack does appear the same, but the digits do not show the repunching. Compare the top serif...
