I've always had an interest in HTT's and collected them in the past...mostly store cards though. You're informative post was a good read. As a...
Yeah, that sounds reasonable. Bruce
Interesting half cent, Randy. I once had an extensive collection of half cents but never this one. Congrats on your pickup. Bruce
A nice smooth attractive color. Nice example but do you think the obverse has been cleaned? I see some vertical hairlines but they could be from...

A Civil War token for sure. Bruce
Couldn't agree more strongly. We WILL pay the price for all this nonsense in the near future. Bruce
Sorry, Randy, I just bid $2,801.00. I think I've got this one.:D Bruce
I know a few counterstamp collectors who collect by denomination and / or date. A good friend of mine has multiple examples of certain stamps he...
I'd clean it for sure. Make sure you show us how it comes out. Bruce
