What a beauty! Congrats on the find: I just looked at the other recent AU 1799s on Heritage and would take this eye appeal over all of them....
Case in point, Mike: http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=1184&lotNo=1063. Given Heritage's EAC grade and what I think is tremendous eye appeal,...
I don't get to make many large shows so it was a real pleasure meeting and getting to talk with Tom for quite a while (it was a slow show and his...
Good start but let's finish the job: "You would be surprised by the number of collectors who start when they're young. ..." "Amount" is good for...
What a beauty. I just spent two days looking for a large cent just like this—at the Michigan State Numismatic Society (MSNS) Spring Convention in...
I'm certainly not judging your collecting priorities; it's not my business. Collect what you want—more power to you—and I've seen you post some...
This almost makes me want to start buying proof coins (almost).
Don't depress me.
If I'm reading you correctly, I have to say I don't understand why you've concluded that the consignor (if that's what you mean) of this coin...
I totally agree; nothing wrong with having an organization's logo on a coin—but trying to have it command an entire side is bad thinking. Logos...

Perfect example of why contemporary coinage is so awful. The reverse has no visual relationship to the obverse (aside from the minor echo of the...
I agree with everything you've been saying (you noticed that, didn't you? :)). I mentioned I have some other books; one of them is Scott...
Winged, this is not toned. It's radioactive. Be careful. Wash your hands before eating anything. :eek:;)
It was in a 65RB holder. Now it's in a 66BN. Here is a pic of the obverse: [IMG]
Ouch! Just goes to show that people have different preferences. I'd rather have a stain (or shadow) than a bump on my coin; in fact, it's a...
I don't use this excuse (or believe in the rationale behind it) and in fact agree with you 100%: standards have slackened because collectors have...
Here is a large cent I own (rev. pics only). It was sent to NCS for conservation and then regraded (I discovered this researching Heritage's sold...
Thanks for taking the time to dig this up, I really appreciate it. It's exactly what I was wondering about and looking for. I think this just...
