This one may be difficult to grade if you are not familiar with how die wear (die state) affects the quality of strike. For example, when this...
Thanks, guys for your comments and input on grade. Much appreciated. NSP, to-date I have in my collection: 1808 S-277, 2 examples in varying...
A Sheldon-289 in a late die state. It has even surfaces, no flaws and appealing brown colour. Not a scarce variety, but in nice condition. S-289...
What NSP says is correct: CBD's are scarce, but not so intensively pursued as a collecting field. Quite a few interesting yet affordable...
A very nice penny of the Confessor! Actually, one of the best that I have seen, and with very clear legends. This is my penny of Edward, double...
That is a nice example of a scarce type, David. I agree that the description of this as being issued to commemorate the naval victory at the Sea...
I hope you are able to remove the solder,C-B-D. But even if you can't, that was a very good purchase.
Very nice capped quarters. That was a good purchase, Mike. I check my 1834 and it seems to be the same variety as yours (I noticed it has the...
It is an attractive denarius, and at a very good price. I would love to see your 8 Escudos when you get it:). Are you looking for any...

Thanks to the friendly help of some very knowledgeable Copper collectors I found this nice surprise in my collection yesterday. They identified...

Thank you for your opinions, everybody. I greatly appreciate it.
Yes, I saw that.Very interesting. I am unfortunately not really up to date on specifics of IHC strikes, but I repeat, that is a very nice group...
That is really amazing, C-B-D! I apologise for the question, but am really curious, what are all those beautiful IHC's worth together?
I really like the Flying Eagle cent. Truly a symbolic coin. How would you grade this example? [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Yes, I have lost out many times......even after I was certain I had it in the bag. I don't get upset about it anymore, though. I have enough nice...
It might be relatively common type, but that is an uncommonly nice portrait, Roman Collector. Nice coin! specially the obverse. These are my...
