Minor correction - William Barber was the father and Charles was the son.
There's two 19/20 threads with the same coin. Every they couldn't keep track of it. Just more scrolling to do I guess.
Contemporary counterfeit, probably passed down from a Civil War veteran ancestor George Emory Logue. He named his son Ulysses Sheridan (U.S.)...

Next round do it backwards like the drunk test.
Beautiful. Did this coin circulate? I don't think I've seen a Thai coin with the king wearing a suit before.
I'd fill in some row gaps - the 3c, half dimes, nickels and dimes, so the denominations/rows are complete. Just because then I'd have a full row,...
100% fake. Easy way to tell - download a free QR reader. The barcode has the PCGS coin#, grade, and cert# in it. This barcode matches an 1893-S...
Multiple kinds of fraud too. And the platform is providing "substantial assistance". The difficulty with prosecution, as I see it, is intent, i.e....
My grandmother's genealogy hints at one reason. Her grandfather's great-grandfather came here from Ireland some time in the mid-late 1700s, angry...
This goes back a few years, but the store owner talked to my brother so long about pocket watches that I figured I'd buy something, and I didn't...
It's just factors of 2. So three generations ago, great-grandparents, is 2^3=8. 38 generations back to William the Conqueror is 2^38, which equals...
I just use this cheap thing. I don't know where I got it or even what the magnification is. The main lens lets me see the whole coin and the...
Actually, a fit human can outrun a deer if given 3-4 hours. We evolved for endurance and the deer for sprinting. In fact, over long distances a...
Many collectors aren't aware of these. There were two reverse designs in 1892, because the original issue didn't stack properly, and Barber rushed...
Once you go back that far, chances seem pretty good that there's some bit of Mayflower blood somewhere. I have a number of ancestors who arrived...
Yup, I/II, ~70% of 1900-S are, most of the rest are II/III, but worth a look. I don't think the S is inverted.
Show the whole reverse while you're at it. It's Obverse I and probably Reverse II, but if it's Rev III, the I/III combination is fairly scarce.
Does it have to be a real animal? :) [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
