Nice pickup. That Newcomb book is interesting reading. In regard to your question about early date books, Sheldon's Penny Whimsy is sort of the...
Even though I know very little about these coins and their history, I love looking at them. Congrats on the positive outcome.
I've been there my friend. Many times I've seen a 'buy it now' pop and I think to myself, I'm pretty sure that's a good deal, but let me just...
Excellent write-up. I meant to stop by your table. However, every time I was in your area, you were pretty busy. Hopefully that means you did some...
Awesome! I love to hear stories like this.

Wonderful writeup, Charmy! I also had a wonderful time in Portland. It's good to have a major show come to Oregon.
I had a great time at the Portland ANA as well. Thanks for posting your pictures.
Looks good.
Depends on who you holder it with, but I'd say it's a candidate for an XF40.
I'll go with F12, too. I owned a coin very much like that a few years back and it was in a PCGS VG10 holder. Still, I think your reverse is a...
First off, I'm not a big slab guy. However, in my experience, when I come across coins in the early holders, the coins quality is at the low end...
Nice. Did you buy it raw or already slabbed? It's a solid coin.
Looks like the S-140 to me (an R.1). Out of curiosity, are you a potential buyer, or are you a seller of the coin?
Well, your best date diagnostic to determine the difference between the two varieties (the front of the 1 in the date) is nicked, so this one is a...
Nice! Out of curiosity, how much are they paying for gold at your LCS?
It's probably just too worn. I think the diagnostics are just a little bit off to be the 257, however. Still, assuming you haggled him down a bit...
It looks like the S-258. It's possible that it's a S-259, but since both pictures of the obverse are blurry, so it's hard to tell. If i was a...
Nice find!
Hello all. I have a couple coins for sale or trade (for other early date or late date large cents). I'm an EAC member, and I've done business on...
