That story was from 2020, before the pandemic struck. I'd bet he's out now with the pandemic releases we saw.
Agree. Among the genuine reverse dies of 1826, the subject coin most closely resembles Reverse H of N-9 but is not an exact match. The obverse...
Working from John Wright's book: I can't match the OP's coin to any of the three die marriages nor any of the six dies. The date is narrow, like...
Reminds me of the old joke about the thief who says "I'm not stealing boxes, I'm stealing wheelbarrows!" Seriously, I got a message from ANA...
And that is exactly why EAC created its own grading system for early copper. The TPGs do not or will not understand early copper and that is why...

Well, I'm notoriously indolent but I look up every TPG cert number and every CAC coin before I bid or buy. This is where self-preservation wins...

Aah, that I didn't know. That would explain why CAC would be willing to resticker a reholdered coin that comes with the same serial number and...
Thanks for everyone taking the trouble to advise. Much appreciated.
Great reportage @ddddd. Love about to hear about collectors' and dealers' impressions of shows.
Ditto 55. And, where ya been @physics-fan3.14? Missed your cogent, pithy and sometimes acerbic commentary. I'll bet you were off world through...
