An EXCELLENT presentation of the different varieties! Thank you very much.
It ended because I emailed the seller informing him that his description was wrong and where to find the mintmark. He emailed me back, thanked me...
I want some fake slabs. I don't care if the coins are real or not.
If you ordered them at the same time (and the order was accepted) you will only be charged one shipping fee even though they will come at...
Mintmark should be on the reverse by the rim at about 7:30. These coins should be silver, but they are only 750 fine (And they are struck not...
1793 dollars? From where? And your dealer friend is getting timelines and stories confused. Yes valuable early large cents have been...
