I've felt that same way at times. However, one thing that does happen at shows is face time with dealers. If positive, a connection might be...
If the guy is a known dealer, it might not be a bad idea to link this conversation to him in an email. Several forum members have provided varied...
I'd have cracked it too. I agree with Marshall's EAC grading assessment. Very nice buy at $38!
That is a very nice copper! Well done on that purchase.
The pictures make ID'ing the variety tough, but if I had to guess, I'd say it's a S-184. If I were to see it out of the flip, I could be more certain.
Beautiful Half Cent!

I go every year. It's nice since I live just an hour away.

Not much to add, but I'd echo what others have said. It doesn't look like a harsh cleaning, but it's probably been brushed by somebody along the...
I've been a member of the EAC for years and it is a great community of collectors. So if you haven't joined, it is well worth the cost of...
I'm not certain if the OP meant famous named collections that are occasionally printed on slabs (as in provenance), but if so, they can add value....
It has been mentioned, but as an early copper variety collector, I put a premium on quality for the less rare coins. So I'll hold out for the...
There is a Chinese company making these and selling them on the net (Alibaba?). Somebody posted a link a month or two ago on one of the forums. It...
Very nice, Charmy! Thank you for the report.
Looks like a commercially graded MS63BN to me (NGC). PCGS might be a little harder on it.
