Thank you for all of your replies. That is exactly why I am here. Thanks again@
How long? Thanks!
I've only got one of those. It is so dark I've thought about having it professionally cleaned. I think it's a 1857 but just going from memory....
Here's another. Photos are still my Waterloo. Rim damage on both the obverse and reverse. 5 oclock on the obverse, 1 o'clock on the reverse....

I don't know enough to even understand what that means. I do know unless I turn on the macro setting, it's really an abomination. Have you seen my...
