Can't be real; the reverse is larger than the obverse side.
One thing to add: the JR-5 (as well as the JR-4) is the 1830/29 overdate. I doubt that it is worth any premium in this condition, but it fills...
You are correct. (One more reason not to do this at work using online pics rather than wait until one gets home and can look at the book and his...
The "large letter reverse" is an "eyeball" Red Book variety that PCGS attributes for the standard grading fee (ie, no extra fee for designation)....
I've sold a few over the years, but not because of up-grades--I also keep my doubles. But, occasionally someone else wants a coin more than I do.
When you finally get around to attributing it ;) you will find that one of the PUPs on the obverse is a re-cut 1. Nice coin for under 100 bucks.
Just because you buy them in a slab doesn't mean they have to stay there.
Where the stem of the olive branch ends above C on the reverse is either 6, 7, or 8. The banner on JR-7/8 starts a little before D and extends a...
Because it makes no difference as to value. It's a normal part of die life.
Looks like a die crack. As for any premium...not in my opinion.
I figured you would.

Sheridan Downey? (bust half specialists will understand.)
And I have never stated that there was no market for collector only issues--only that collector only issues are not a required part of a "coin"...
A "classic rarity"? Yes. Like Kim Kardashian, it's basically famous for being famous. I know very few bust dollar by date collectors, who...
What reconciliation? The 1804 dollar isn't a "classic coin" either. Nor are proofs. They're mint created pieces struck strictly for collectors...
The classic keys were available for face value when issued. That's because they are actually coins-not mint created collectables.
Sure I get to make that call. It's MY collection. And yes, I remember the hole for the 16-D merc. Why wouldn't there be one? It wasn't a...
That's just it. Other than flippers trying for 70s and a quick buck there IS no collector demand that I see. If it were collector interest...
That's because they aren't "must haves" for a collection. These one-offs have no place in a traditional date/MM collection. Has nothing to do...
