This is the C-8. I would call this coin a TPG EF-40 but an EAC VF-25 sharpness, net VF-20 due to color and hit on cheek. Solid example of the...
There are lots of chemicals in dishwashing soaps that are intended to do generally beneficial things in the dishwashing realm, but not so much in...
Here's mine. Doesn't look anything like what you're researching Jack. [ATTACH]
Wow! That's a fraught question. There are so many variables that might figure into a sensible answer. But here's a fundamental set of criteria...
here's some suggestions. I would say call before you go to make sure they are open and that if they require an appointment, you've done it. Have...
It appears to be N-15 according to my The Die Varieties of United States Large Cents 1840 - 1857, John R. Grellman, Jr., 2021 edition. Quoting:...
The thread title asked about "negativity" but the lead-in text to the poll asked about "attractiveness". Those can be and often are different...

Reasonable people can disagree on what constitutes a "type" and of course everyone is free to collect whatever and however they prefer. I...

It takes a lot of coins to complete the Liberty Seated Type Set of half dimes, dimes, double-dime, quarters, half dollars and dollars. Here's my...
I make this the JR-5 with Obverse 2, and Reverse BL by Zack/Scuderi/Sherril and Reverse E by Logan/McCloskey. Same reverse just different...
The reverses are different too. Note the relation of the leaves to the S in the legend. If I have time tomorrow, I'll try to attribute them,...
Not as nice as Larry's but I still like it. [ATTACH]
Depends on why you're interested in it. If it's a date or die variety that you can't get elsewhere at a price you are willing to pay, then you...
MS-64 BN. I don't see any rub on this coin and the nicks on Liberty's cheek are all that keep it from 65. Some strike weakness or a case of die...
