I just looked at two 78-S pieces on the PCGS site. Their denticles had much narrow spacing on the reverse. I did'nt look at your obv pix: too...
Well, you should definitely try for a 1947 if you want the newest one... Question is, which was the last made? The P or D? My money's on the...
Well it's in a holder so someone expects it to be nicer. The purple is a bit of an odd color so perhaps it got an "Unc Details" grade. Can't...
I really liked your 1695, just a haresbreath away from uncirculated. Also your crown of the unfortunate Charles III - or was it Charles I? The...

What was the pre-reduced weight & purity of the denarius and the purity after Severus Alexander's reduction? I'll guess the old purity was around...
I like the 1905-S better!:vamp:
Exactly ! Couldn't have put it better myself. I did run across the occasional dime or quarter in better grades but never a half. It made me...
Congrats & a wonderful piece of research & writeup. A tetradrachm by Lysimachous was perhaps the 1st major coin that I bought upon finishing...
Actually it was an 1892 Barber in slabbed (PCGS or NGC) 63. Bought sometime around 1992 for ~$900. Not bought 63 years ago: sorry. Not a pretty...
