I would never challenge you on an attribution since you're the expert on BHs and I'm only looking at a book (5th Edition of Overton/Parsley)....
A few of the latest Capped Bust Half Dimes for the die variety collection. Between FUN and a couple of on-line auctions, I've picked up 3 raw and...
VF-35 and O-137. An R-6 coin if my attribution is correct. Obverse 23, Reverse AC. I don't see the little ding/hit hurting the grade. It's a...
Good thought about the smooth edges. But the dimple at the bottom still has me puzzled. But with a strike through caused by a hard object (as...
Cool find. They just aren't found in circulation much anymore.
Yep, MS-Details cleaned. Agree it looks over-dipped.
I took a look at trying to measure it but the size of the pit is so small that I don't have any measuring tools to get into it, despite having a...
Thanks, I'll give it a try tomorrow. Reminds of one of those optical illusion tests. "Can you see the unicorn in this mix of colored dots? No?"

Nice endeavor and I'm sure it's fun. I do wonder why it takes four commemorative half dollars to represent the type. BTW, I was talking to a...
Yes, the serifs on the Ns are different and there are other differences on the Ns, but they are harder to see on circulated coins than the middle...
I was seated at Larry Briggs' table today at FUN and the fellow beside me was poring through a box of raw IHCs, looking for 1870-72 Shallow and...
Third and final day at the show. Arrived 8:30 and attended the EAC Region 4 meeting. Sparse, only 7 people there but had some nice chat for 40...
If you mean Greysheet, Redbook, etc. then the answer is no. But if you mean the real market, then the answer is yes. Most collectors of...
Spent the last two days at Summer FUN, arriving at 8:30 and leaving at 5:30. I'm volunteering at our local coin club table so I get an early bird...
Yes, I collect IHCs and for my 1870-72 dates, I am collecting both bold and shallow Ns. It is challenging to find nice (or even some) examples of...
