After missing out on the S-143, I had the funds to go for this and made it. It is a misattributed S-206 which was called S-205. It's an easy...
I'd be comfortable with XF40/Net F15 assuming roughness and probable cleaning. That color could be just poor lighting, but may indicate it's...
Hammer price was $787 and I set the price with a $777 bid. I actually went a bit more than I could afford and would had to have sold some silver...
Certainly not. You want to flip it and I want to keep it. But we're both looking for the same bargains. I just want to buy wholesale rather than...
I just got outbid on a very nice Large Cent that I wanted badly. But someone with greater means wanted it too and employed the same strategy I...
I could take it off your hands if you're too disappointed.

[ATTACH] This is the best image I can produce using a closeup at liberty's eye and a rotated TAL. I had thought I was seeing an N or M, but I...
I need great imaging.
At this point, I have looked under light with a magnifying glass and have to hold it just so to see what looks like the lettering. But it's not...
Weighed in at 9.7 grams or 149.7 grains. Highest probability is a coin struck on the 152 grain TAL token.
I received the coin this evening and while well worn, I believe it is struck on the TAL token, but not the ONE CENT one. I think it's the NEW YORK...
In rereading my earlier post, I did err in calling crack a die variety rather than a marker identifying a die. Also, my desire to trace the die...
I know my terminology comes from too much time in Breen's encyclopedia and the Heritage Archives and not enough with the active Large Cent...
Just got back from a jeweler who weighed it at 10.7 grams or 165 grains. Right in line with the typical thin planchet, 27/28mm is on the money....
If there are differences, Conder is the one I go with. I trust him implicitly.
I am going to check the weight, but it's definitely not the old standard. But it might not be the new standard either. I could swear there are...
My current thinking is that I found a particular die variety with recognizable markers in a later die state which also has a mint error on the tip...
Perhaps getting back to the minting process will clear things up a bit. The coin is produced when a die is used to impress an image onto the...
That is very true. The question is whether to resolve the discrepancies or to just leave them disjointed and confusing. Not recognizing that...
Separate names with a comma.
