Larry Butler, I don't know about Larry Hair, but I am unable to enlarge your image any more than clicking on the "Thumbnail" will allow. That is...
@paddyman98 When NGC first introduced their "Edge View" holder, I recall a discussion that arose on one of the Collectors Society forums because...

American Brass hasn't operated under that name since 1960, and it has been sold and resold numerous times to foreign companies after declining...
I like the 53D best. Chris
Welcome to the neighborhood @Jimmyk7051 ! You should replace that old 2x2 anyway. So, would you mind taking the coin out and giving us better...
I didn't think you would be hoarding the Lincolns for the copper, nor did I think that of the OP. The problem is that Amos 811 has been on these...
