I knew Roger Cohen personally. We once did an EAC half cent exhibit together. His book is easy to use and unpretentious. The main drawback is that...
Crappy pictures send a very clear message: STAY AWAY! Don’t even consider bidding. Sellers post crap photos for a reason, and it’s not for your...
There is so little left of this piece, it makes one wonder if it is genuine. If you don’t get this thing into a “genuine” holder, a lot of the...
1793 C-2 1795 C-2a 1806 C-1 “Small 6, Stemless”
Post your 1793, 1795 and 1806 half cents here. Someone will give you the varieties.
Many rolls of 1960s Lincoln Cents were set aside. The early 1960s were a period of considerable coin roll price speculation. I used to see them...
It has to be 1895. The last feather is between “CA” not “IC” as it would on an 1885 cent. The hub change came in 1886. Check out the Red Book to...
As the Red Book has long said, “All half cents are scarce.” It used to say, “ the series has never enjoyed popularity. (Paraphrasing). That is...
The Braided Hair half cents come nice, and collectors do not beat down the doors to buy them. These coins are not quick sellers, especially when...

Even if they are impaired, you can’t lose when you get them for face value.
I think that MS-64 is too generous for this coin. My grade would be MS-63. When I was dealer, the grading from Franklin Half Dollars was all over...
This one has great color and surfaces, but it has rim nicks. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
From what I have read about Bryan, he was well-informed when he served two terms in Congress in the early 1890s. Then he got into presidential...
Yep, U.S. coins used to be made out of silver. I am old enough to remember spending them. You could also go to a bank and exchange paper dollars...
I was thinking low Mint State when I saw the obverse, but the reverse is definitely AU. I would say that it is an AU-58, but a lot of collectors...
I don’t understand the market for circulated 1885-CC dollars. I know that the supply of them is limited, but how can you justify spending that...
The large cents from this era are not easy to find for most collectors. The half cents are tougher still. Half cents like this were not often seen...
Thanks for the list of attractions in Canton, Ohio. I saw all of them about four years ago.
These pieces sell for $125 to $135, but the trick is to find pieces that are not bent up too badly. McKinley was a pretty good president, but he...
