That's sickening. A brazen fabrication. You may want to post this creep's id on the CU (PCGS) forum as well. Many eBay sellers hang out there as...
Beautiful Lincoln, Charmy, and very informative post by Lyds- thanks to you both!
Thanks for the comments. It appears to be a Bressett 1-A, the first one listed in Bowers' book. It's the first of the 1785 landscape coppers...
Given the success of the Fugio thread, I thought I might start one for Vermont Landscape coppers. I realize that it's a collecting niche, but I...
I just read the entire thread, and enjoyed the discussion. I habitually overgrade old copper so it was good to read the viewpoints of more...

I personally do not find Ike's to be attractive. That being said, I won't disparage someone else's collecting interests, as a lot of people don't...
very nice looking example of the always scarce classic head. I'm no copperologist, but I think VF also.
Hi Rusty, thanks for the comments. All I have are Bowers' book on Silver Dollars, and Vol.1 of his encyclopedia of Silver Dollars and Trade...
That is a very attractive coin! Strong doubling! I like it!
