There is nowhere to go with this. The collectors who are willing pay $100 + for a coin wouldn’t want it. The “bottom feeders” won’t pay anything...
It would interesting to x-ray it to see if the coin had a big irregular hole in it. Could the blob of metal be a crude repair?
According to the Grey Sheet, you got a deal. The bid is $210 in EF-40. Of course, despite what they say, those prices have NGC or PCGS grading...
@halfcent1793, Roger Cohen didn’t like that 1793 Half Cent when I showed it to him in the 1990s. That coin was an upgrade from the black and...
There is truth to this statement, but you need to know the consequenses. When you buy a problem coin, the potential buyer's response is always...
I knew Roger Cohen personally. We once did an EAC half cent exhibit together. His book is easy to use and unpretentious. The main drawback is that...
Crappy pictures send a very clear message: STAY AWAY! Don’t even consider bidding. Sellers post crap photos for a reason, and it’s not for your...
There is so little left of this piece, it makes one wonder if it is genuine. If you don’t get this thing into a “genuine” holder, a lot of the...
1793 C-2 1795 C-2a 1806 C-1 “Small 6, Stemless”
Post your 1793, 1795 and 1806 half cents here. Someone will give you the varieties.
Many rolls of 1960s Lincoln Cents were set aside. The early 1960s were a period of considerable coin roll price speculation. I used to see them...
It has to be 1895. The last feather is between “CA” not “IC” as it would on an 1885 cent. The hub change came in 1886. Check out the Red Book to...
As the Red Book has long said, “All half cents are scarce.” It used to say, “ the series has never enjoyed popularity. (Paraphrasing). That is...
The Braided Hair half cents come nice, and collectors do not beat down the doors to buy them. These coins are not quick sellers, especially when...
If you have not bought it, pass. If I owned it, I’d store it in one of my old “sulfur paper” envelopes and wait five or six years. The Gimbals...
Even if they are impaired, you can’t lose when you get them for face value.
I think that MS-64 is too generous for this coin. My grade would be MS-63. When I was dealer, the grading from Franklin Half Dollars was all over...
This one has great color and surfaces, but it has rim nicks. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
From what I have read about Bryan, he was well-informed when he served two terms in Congress in the early 1890s. Then he got into presidential...
Yep, U.S. coins used to be made out of silver. I am old enough to remember spending them. You could also go to a bank and exchange paper dollars...
