It appears to be JR-5. This die marriage is the only 1835 with a straight flag on the top of the 5. The reverse is very similar to that of JR-8,...
Oh dear. I remember someone (it may have even been the OP) who posted a graffitied flying eagle cent that have been substituted into a straight...
Another thing to consider is that many quarters dated 1834 may have been struck in 1835. Tompkins asserts that both 1834 B-3 and B-5 were struck...
Ewomack’s coin is actually B-1, so we don’t have images of B-2, B-3, or B-5... so here is my B-5: [ATTACH] This is the lowest graded (F12) coin...
They are certainly good enough to attribute the coin!... Browning-4, R1. It looks to be a very nice specimen. This coin (Browning-1, R1) has one...
Holy smokes! The only way I could possibly justify it being straight graded is if it was a strike through... except it certainly doesn’t look like...
Nothing jumps out as “fake,” but I would be very leery of buying one of these uncertified. I also find it a bit amusing that they included an...
Very nice dimes! I collect capped bust dimes and someday I would like to own examples of both dates. Unfortunately I am embracing the “poor...
I can imagine! There are a couple of small spots of toning under the right side of Monticello not readily noticeable in the pictures but other...
My collecting interests are generally more focused on older US issues, but I can certainly appreciate interesting modern coins as well. The 1997...
If only it was an 1809 dime! Though a half cent is still an awesome consolation.
I wonder if anyone on this Seated Liberty forum will post anything in the half dime sub-forum:...
I agree with the JR-9 attribution. Out of curiosity I checked my copy of the 1984 Early United States Dimes book and at the time the book was...
Here are some other fake bust quarters struck with dies made from that 1818 B-10. Fortunately it’s a lot easier to pick them out when they aren’t...
Very good post, and I commend your bravery and confidence with buying an 1818 B-10 in VF raw. There are fakes of other dates that use the same...
Here’s my new 1828 quarter that I believe fits the bill. At first glance, it appears to have the dark gray appearance that’s characteristic of...
I ended up finding one eventually (and actually own two of them currently), but when I was assembling my date set of large capped bust quarters,...
Regarding the three people that posted capped bust half dollars, I’ll be the contrarian and say the capped bust quarter is my favorite. [ATTACH]
Ouch. The only way that poor coin could ever hope to be “fixed” is if it was carried in a pocket for 10 years and allowed to wear down.
What’s interesting about this die marriage (and 1820 B-5) is that it was struck in 1821. The small 0 obverse die was also the first die that used...
