I would normally agree, except I just put two Charlotte Quarter Eagles in slabs because their authenticity could be questioned by many due to...
Don't confuse the denticles with reeding. The S-76 has 2 main variations and a couple of unique or near unique variations. First, is a scarce...
As a retired photographer, you should be able to take a real nice closeup using axial lighting. It does a great job of showing die breaks....
Thank you for your patience when I go off on a tangent.
Your posting 1885, but it looks like 1883 to me. Am I missing something? I saw a subsequent 1885 posted but now I can't figure out which photo's...
