The Buchanan token is struck poorly in the center of the reverse because the relief of the portrait on the obverse was too high. It sucked up on...
This Columbian came with one of the containers that housed the coins when they were sold at the fair. Yes, it has the "dreaded" tannic toning....
Yes, it is. The "L" is visible, and the bust is pointed. Here is a Mint State Example. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Pointed Bust [ATTACH] Rounded...
Here are a couple of Mint State Indian cents which are mostly red. Your coin should look similar to these pieces. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

The 1851-O Silver Three Cent Piece is fairly affordable until you hit the MS-66 grade. Then they called it "finest known," and the prices go into...

It may have been smoothed in the right obverse field and on the left side in back of Ms. Liberty's arm.
There are six 1809 half cent varieties. The 9 over 6 is a blundered die. The die sinker punched the “9” in upside down and then corrected it. It’s...
It looks very unnatural to me as if it’s been cleaned. Take out a brand new cent and compare it to this one. If the 1902 plays with the light...
A 1932 for the "light Motto" type. [ATTACH] And a late date one in Cameo Proof for the type [ATTACH]
I regret selling this one years ago. I was looking for a piece to go into my NGC registry type set. This came back in a body bag for no good...
