I pleaded with my wife to give me something numismatic this year instead of sweaters, socks or ties. I still got the sweater and the ties, but i...
Catbert, i did see that 1803 you let go. I can really understand that is one coin you miss.....it was very appealing. I think that if i ever...
Thank you guys, thank you 900Fine for your comments. Early US copper is a world of its own, enthralling and rewarding! As i have often said,...

Thanks Conder, thank you Frank, Yes, the obverse is weaker than the reverse on this particular coin. I don't know if this is characteristic for...

Please grade this 1892 O half. Your comments as usual are much appreciated. Eduard
I have an mint state 1892 S dime with a similar scratch from removal from a 2X2 (not by me). Don't they sell self adhesive 2x2's in the US???...
I will join the others in congratulating you. Admittedly in lower grade, but nice smoooth surfaces which is not obvious with Chain cents. I was...
