Yes, that possibility cannot be discarded, unfortunately. The 1822 is THE key in the series and collector demand is high. Enough to cause some...
As you point out, @Legomaster1, the fourth digit does not even look like a '2'. It is possibly an 1823 but have not checked as the condition of...
To be fair to the seller, he did warn bidders during the auction that it might not be a rare 1822 dime after all. It is clearly not. It still...
@jgenn, to answer your question - I do not presently own this coin. In fact, after I bough it at the HA auction, I arranged for it to be sent to...
Nothing gets the discussion (and the emotions!) going so fast in a U.S Coin Forum as a good old discussion on the relative merits, or lack...
I must say the appearance is unlike any genuine Higley (in photos) that I have ever seen. It seems much too uniform. I have severe doubts about it.
Thank you very much for your comments @drbrummer. I had not realised full strikes on '49-O's are so scarce, so it seems I got lucky with this one....
And rightly so, @CoinCorgi. That is a nice example in spite of the alleged cleaning - which to me at least is not evident. I mentioned my first...
Really sorry to hear that.....I also bought many coins from Bowers and Merena between 1986 and 1996. The first 2-3 years kept them in their...
I would be happy with EF45, even more with AU50. It was a lucky find and am glad I went for it. Next on my list is an '45-O.

Two new additions to my early seated New Orleans collection, a dime and half dime. The first is an 1838-O Half Dine, the coin is low grade and...

Why not a Roman denarius, but not just of any emperor. Marcus Aurelius, the Philosopher-Emperor, one of the so-called 5 Good Emperors. You may...
How about a pretty little coin from Frankfurt in remembrance of your stay in Germany, and the fact you like City Views? (it's more than you plan,...
It looks like I may need to change the title of this thread. I last posted this denarius of Galba back in December 2017. At that stage, based on...
Thank you very much for posting your coin and your comments. That is a nice example of the Ecu de Six Livres de la Convention, minted at Lyon. I...
I have cherry picked a lot of coins in my time, both U.S and World, but never a 2C small motto, (or a 1C 1858/7). Wouldn't mind finding one here...
