I have heard that too, the "snow" varieties but they aren't as readily used as the Sheldon varieties of early large cents and Newcomb varieties of...
I just got an email from Eagle Eye Rare Coins about Rick Snow's birthday. I bought a couple of capped bust dimes from them. I read on one of...
Walkers seem like a good one. I just bought a 1916-S AG/G for $19. I also have other coins I got in lots including 1916-D relatively...
Yes, that is the funny thing. XF on the photo-grade but I did read a Indian head grading pdf that would object to that stating that the XF coins...
OK, that is what I got. VF for both. I listed them as that on Ebay, and the 1907 sold quick. I always think that I had just been picked when...
I am a little confused about the difference between VF and XF cents. Some say that the ribbon on the left side has to be complete where others...
Remind me of a new "unsearched" roll seller who offered me a $1 with free shipping for a dateless flying eagle. We know where it is going, at the...
Is this Ebay live auctions? Isn't there a buyer's fee? No offense but looks like coins you could buy on Ebay all of the time. For a few...
The only thing I trust as far as cleaning coppers is distilled water and Verdi-care. Acetone has been known to discolor coppers and I don't trust...

Thanks Conder101, yes it looks like 1811 in hand since the ending 1 is noticeable and think I see the one before it.
You may be right. I wasn't sure, it looked like a one but was thinking the shape was more like a 4. [ATTACH]
Here is the Swiss cheese variety, I think 1834.
If you hold it to the light, you can see the faint outline of a classic head and the back as well.
I only clean when necessary like when people wrap coins in scotch tape. I see no reason to clean any and the one that has verdigris isn't worth...
12 for $24. 3 classic heads one of which is barely seen, 2 draped busts, and 7 matron heads.
It is fun to figure out if there are dates on advertised dateless cull coins. I recently picked up a 12 large cent cull lot with looks like 5...
I'll guess MS61
You can usually tell this just by roll searching and the oldest you found. The oldest coin in change I found was 1913 cent and oldest roll...
