Since it's just a short drive for me I'll be there on Friday. First Stop: Angel Dee's to say "Hi!" to Andy and Alynne. They are the ones that I...

FINALLY I've gotten my camera back to usable. I looked at Goodman's book and made some changes to my camera's settings. Took quite a while (1...
I'm curious about the reason the 1808/7 half cent got struck. I can only make some guesses. Anyone got an actual known historical reference?

I can take a half hour (or more) trying to ID a Matron Head Large Cent variety -- and still not get it. To save money I've been looking at coins...

The Problem: Understanding and recognizing features dealing with large cent physical characteristics used to identify varieties. My Tentative...
I'm trying to get my inventory in order. For many of my large cents, if the Newcomb Number wasn't on the slab, I just socked the coins away to ID...
I'm after half cents and large cents by variety. And I stick to VF or XF (AU?) for low rarity coins (R-1 to R-3). I've been using Greysheet + 20%...
1. I use the Greysheet to put values on my coins in my half cent and large cent collection. That helps me put values on my coins by Variety Number...
