Sure looks like a 21S to me. 7 is the closest shape in Arabic numerals, and that doesn't look anything like a 7. As for Grade - AG-3 is actually...
I prefer mine "mostly" unstruck ;) [ATTACH]
That is oddly specific. Any reason why? Or you just want them all to match?
This is how I started collecting - pulling coins from circulation and putting them in blue folders. I was so proud when I finished the clad...
I'll just say, my 1858 has what I believe to be a small strike through grease under the date. You can compare yours to mine. Based on the...
What are you not fond of? The Reeded Edge Halves in general? They have a very different characteristic from the lettered edge halves.
Feuchtwanger? And this is why making friends with a couple of good dealers is key. If you're looking for a truly rare and special piece, they...

I've been to a couple of Insider's classes before, and they were some of the most educational hours of my coin life. If you have a chance to go,...
Does it, though? Be very careful of your terminology, especially with pre-modern coins like this. "Doubling" implies something rather specific in...
Haz - could you show us a picture of what you are referring to? There are absolutely ways that a coin could be made with a seemingly blank side,...
These are two different coins ;) Which one are you talking about, the top one or the bottom one?
Oooh, tough to grade using only those tiny pics. From what I see, I'd call the Type 1 a 53-ish (up or down one grade). I'd call the Type 2 a...
You are thinking about this from the perspective of very modern technology. Think about the technology that was probably used to create these...
