I've found that a weak "WE" on a 2-cent piece doesn't necessarily take it down to a VF. It still can be XF. That's the problem with keying in on...
IMO because of its potential value, no one should be guessing. It should be in a PCGS or NGC slab. Then you don't have to guess. I personally...
I agree with everyone's assessment of the first two coins, but I think even this lower opinion of the "S" is too high. MS, yes. But more like -62....
Basically, yes. But somewhere there should be a more formal definition. I couldn't find it with a quick Google search.
I'm still of the opinion that Jefferson nickels and Roosevelt dimes are undervalued. The reason is that they are currently circulating coin and...
I collect half dimes but not this early. I'm still working on Capped Busts. That's why I'm interested in your coin. Looks like it has Fine...
I'm in the process of reformatting my coin images. Right now I'm working on my Morgans. Most of them are raw so I figured while I'm at it I'll...
Congrats (you stinker) ;) That means you've pushed me down at least one spot on the ratings. I'm mostly MS-66 and in the process of upgrading to...
I'm seeing XF-40 at best.
Ah, an anachronism.
"Bit of clash"!!! That's an understatement. Textbook case of the results of clashed dies. I suspect it was struck after the clash (of course), but...
#1 - 1921 stamp from Danzig - Minimum value #2 - 1899 US administration of the Philippines - Minimum value #3 - China (I'd have to work at it to...
Looks like you were in the right place at the right time. Nice catch.
Very interesting. It's not something that I would collect, but I certainly enjoy looking at them.
Excellent point. The problem is verifying that the cancellation is appropriate for the time period. I'd start by going to your local library and...
Most of that stuff is common and not worth much. But some of the semi-postals have reasonable value. We'd have to see.
You are!!!??? I'm pretty good also.
I strongly suspect that the fingerprint couldn't be seen when PCGS slabbed that coin. If I'm correct, that's more evidence that major changes CAN...
Make good use of a "Completed Auctions" search on eBay. It's free and about as current as you can get for retail prices. I don't know about...
