I've got a 1795 Half Cent. It's in a PCGS slab but labeled only "PCGS XF40/Lettered Edge". I've ID'ed it definitely as a C-2 variety. Fuhrman's...
Ah ha! With my wife's help I've got the process working (the cell phone option). Takes a while but I don't have many larger face value notes to...
Thanks for the responses. Now I just have to take the time to see what works best for me, cell phone or SLR camera.
I list US currency on eBay, mostly $1 FRN notes. My scanner works fine and gives me good images which I then crop and resize with Power Point....
It's not my scanner that refused. It's something that is part of my computer software. I can scan and see the image but my computer refuses to...
Caught me by surprise but it shouldn't have. I'm scanning small size US currency so I can list the notes on eBay. Date range is from 1928 to the...
Nice. This has been my interest area for the past 2/3 years. I joined EAC but have been to only one of their conventions. But I've got my eye on...

Here's two more items that are beyond me. I have a sneaking suspicion that the person who owns these (and the first one I asked about) is going to...

Thanks for your information. I figured in that shape it didn't have much value. But I'll pass the info on.
Oops, I forgot the image.[ATTACH]
That I'm locally known as a coin collector means I'm sometimes asked to ID some items. Often that includes older currency. Lacking reference...
The Whitman Encyclopedia of Colonial Coins (2nd edition) has arrived. Now I need to make some time to start reading it.
Thanks all. I now have the Whitman Encyclopedia of Colonial Coins (2nd edition) on order. Like I said, I don't anticipate getting any more coins...
Thanks to all for the responses. A Fugio is the only colonial era coin I've bought and ever expect to buy. But I'd like to have a reference since...
Thanks. That is the info I was looking for. BTW, what is your source? I'll look into purchasing that reference.
I've got an 1787 Fugio Cent in VF-30. It's labeled as Variety 4-E. I looked in my references but I don't have anything that mentions rarity...
A year's worth of pumping up your collection. Well done! And not a trivial effort. It appears that you go for the upper end of the grading scale...
