Maybe they got distracted by the cool die crack.
$8 was a lot of money in 1835. :) Edit: BTW, what's unusual about this note? I mean, other than the uncommonly high grade, of course.
Any VAMpires want to chime in on whether they think VAM 5A is correct?
I wouldn't count on it. Remember, too, that if you're looking to get it certified to improve the resale value, it absolutely has to be a 70 to be...
I don't think any have actual investment potential, but I do think they'll all be selling above issue price after they're discontinued. I wrote...
That sounds like a pretty good score! You should be aware though that price guides are not the be all and end all of what you should pay for a...
Amazing coin and amazing pictures!
What kind of safe?

I wish I had gotten word before the owl sold out. :( I'm considering purchasing 2x of all the high-grade ones and selling off the duplicates...

Toning can count for or against a coin, but is never a primary factor. It goes into the "eye appeal" category. Fingerprints would be the same way.
We kind of do. :P An average hedgehog weighs about a pound. I DON'T KNOW THAT!
It would depend on the variety (die pair) and if you had several coins that showed a progression of the die state.
I must be missing something. All I see are some hairlines in the right obverse field and under the eagle's left wing on the reverse.
Yeah, this isn't a valuable coin by any means. But, if you want to figure out the date for funsies, you'll need to use a loupe, stereoscope, or...
