Happy New Year! Here are a couple of 1851's. The second is a little rough but it's an 1851/81. Lance. [IMG][IMG] [IMG][IMG]
Most of my 1850's are only in the XF range so that the entire set doesn't vary too much. While I love MS copper (IHC's and wheaties) I knew I...
Unattributed. Lazy. Lance. [IMG][IMG]
N41, R1. PCGS AU53. Lance. [IMG][IMG]
I think the subject was a die crack vs. a coin scratch, not a die scratch. Lance.
The second is an N2 1847/47. Lance. [IMG][IMG] [IMG][IMG] [IMG]
Here's an O.110, R5, in a modest F12 I bought recently. A nice circulated cam. Lance. [IMG][IMG]
Nice 1846's, Mike! Here are small, medium and large letters. The medium is a cull with PMD and needs to be replaced. Lance. [IMG][IMG]...
I haven't had bad results with acetone on brown copper. Though I agree, Xylene is a good alternative. There's something about red copper and...

Nice set, RedRaider! The '77 is fabulous. I'm sure you agree. I'd polish the slabs and reshoot some of them. The coins deserve it! Here are '73...
Is that PVC on the cent, beef1020? You might want to give it an acetone dip. Lance.
Yes, they're scratches. Scratches displace metal leaving raised ridges. Lance.
Probably so, Jello, in many cases. However, that is exactly what the coin looks like. Glad you like it! Lance.
Here's an N11, R3+. I don't collect MS large cents but somehow I ended up with this one. Lance. [IMG][IMG]
I had this 65RB regraded, thinking it might be 66. Sent it through Secure Plus. PCGS called it 65RD. Huh? Lance. [IMG][IMG]
