What I dislike most is when a buyer of these coins comes in to try and resell them. All of a sudden, I am the one trying to rip them off by...
The date definitely looks bad. I know for sure it is fake though due to the position of the last feather in the headband. Pre 1886 the feather...
I would personally be scared off by a full red specimen as well. A strong red brown can imo be even more beautiful and interesting to look at....
I find from a cost basis, that looking through bags of wheat cents allows me the most coins to search through with a fair amount of success. I...
I just got it back from PCGS. They graded it at MS63 brown. They also took a picture of it and are now using it as an example piece of an MS63...
I agree with 4 possibly being a bit young. My best memories are going through rolls of pennies on the living room floor. I'd occasionally find...
I thank you so much for all the info. I loved seeing the registry as well. Any advice on the best place to list it for sale?
As an update, I guess PCGS decided to take a picture of the coin and post it in their population report. I'll try to send the link. My coin is...
I have heard back on the 1944 C Newfoundland cent that I sent in to PCGS. It graded out as MS 63 Brown. I was hoping for a RB designation but, I...

I went with 63 based on what appeared to be a nick on the neck, in the beard and a couple small ones right on the cheekbone. Also, the nick...
Ok, I'll be the first to have someone gasp at my poor grading. I always find it very difficult in pictures. My laptop isn't the greatest. Here...
1804 Dollar, business strike. I just read a pretty good book that dealt with this dollar and whether or not any were actually minted with the...
It's always great to finish a set. I believe the Jefferson's were my first completed set. May you find a 50-D that you like soon!
Ok, Thanks for the pic. Now at least I have a better idea of what you guys are talking about with a "map" variety.
One last attempt at getting a good picture of the 1944 C that I sent off to PCGS. There had been some suggestions that this might be a "map"...
Good Luck to you on your first show. I did my first 3 shows last year and enjoyed the heck out of it. Don't be discouraged by one show. Each of...
