Hey, I quoted your response and that's where I got 2C from... chop chop.
Looks like Obv 2/Rev C to me, or 2C of the five known pairs.
The gouge at the ear is a little distracting but I like it. What do you think, AU53 or so? Trivia: 1905-S was the last Barber dime with two...
Thanks! Seems like producing a "triumphant George" coin in 1783 England may have raised some eyebrows too. But I shouldn't try to interpret things...
Haven't seen these before, can't comment on the grade. My first thought was that "Georgius Triumpho" and the resemblance to the halfpenny was a...
Not unless your estate is more than $12.9 million (in 2023).
Nice score. This coin is on my wish list, maybe someday.
The results are in! 9 of the 16 coins are designated "This coin was selected for conservation services." I can't wait to see if I can tell the...
I think most people factor in the 20% when bidding, which sucks for the sellers. At least I do. I'll eat the shipping cost though. Nice pickup.

All I have in my trove of images is this old pic of a 1923 Canadian 5c. In 1923 my grandparents were 17 and experiencing the Roaring Twenties in...
That one is pretty funny too, with the attempt at Nixon's face and the 1974 date.
That's funny. I wonder who signed it in 1974? Minor correction - the Nixon administration didn't end until August 9, 1974 (not 1972). I lived...
This is very sad news. I had also messaged with him at NGC on a few occasions (but never met him). The amount of knowledge he possessed was...
It's good to know the sort of games Heritage plays with these, not that they'd be doing the same on anything I'd be bidding on. I think the seller...
My last purchase of 2022 was about $500 worth of grading service and I'll still end up with the same coins, so you did well.
I looked at them for a long time and decided not to respond because I couldn't tell the difference. I finally decided that they were in order, but...
Separate names with a comma.
