Well the one known example I have seen looked just like these when blown up - not saying they are they just look like it to me. Have you tried...
The key with 3rd part slabbers is to find one cheap enough that if you got it re-graded it would come back at a grade high enough that you would...
Well it wasn't me - I have not bid on a large cent or won an auction since Jan 19th of this year. I might have bid on 1 or 2, but no more than...
Not important at all. Just decide what you want to collect and then attempt to do it. As far as I am concerned a set is what you want it to be.
Don't confuse the original post, with my post about klondike. I would not bid on the original posted auction for two simple things - the first is...
Nothing to watch since I won't be bidding. I only use paypal on ebay - I never send cash.
Your pictures are not showing any luster - the surfaces on the 81-O look flat, almost pitted. It could be the picture. Everything looks okay on...
Yep - looks like a 174 to me. Have you see the auctions by klondike - too bad he does not take paypal. There are 1 or 2 I might bid on.

Well everything I read says the coin is a R-2 and is common. And the mintage is published as 1,841,745 for all varieties. So I agree it is...
I would say RB versus RD, and MS64/65.
After studying the link Ben posted I would say it is counterfeit.
Have you got a complete set of found IHC's yet? Seems like every search you find a few different dates.
Yes - go for it. Take your time and have fun. Eliminate a few key date and mint marks and it becomes an affordable set.
No thanks. I was just trying to confirm my suspicion. So thanks for all the input.
And I believe all of mine have been posted here. Besides my set is small compared to Ben's - I am sure he could get through it in a week. :)
Good news for the forum.
It's not "punday" yet. :) It was the lack of food and I wanted to look at some of my coins. :)
So you do not think that green stuff at 8 o'clock on the obverse is PVC or some kind of corrosion? What would it be?
