Bronze & Copper Collector

No....

Ditto.... A classy act....

probably in the correct range....I would offer $100 US as a curiousity...

That old tenet still applies.... "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is....."

Yes, lucky for the purchaser in 2008 when it was downgraded that the PCGS guarantee still covered copper. PCGS made the purchaser "right" with a check to the tune of $15,000... If that happened today, PCGS' guarantee no longer covers copper. That single coin is one of the main reasons they changed their policy. Of course, $15,120 for a coin struck by the billions was a completely stupid price to begin with -- that money would have likely been better spent by the purchaser by having his head examined by a neurologist. No argument there.. Technically, it is not even copper... It is copper coated zinc....

An excerpt from this website.. www.coinweek.com/featured-news/coin-collecting-strategies-building-ultimate-20th-century-type-set-part-1-small-cents/ In 2003, a cent graded MS-70 by PCGS was bought back due to the development of carbon spots, after selling for $15,120.00 at a September 2006 Teletrade auction. PCGS downgraded the coin to MS-69 and currently estimates its value to be $85.00. In the world of modern cents (especially zincolns), fortunes can be lost in a hurry.f

It has been known to happen....Sometimes with severe and costly financial consequences... It hasn't happened to any of my 30-40 slabbed coins yet, but must be a consideration if they are factoring eye appeal in to the grading of a 'forever slab'It would be felt most severely with the direst financial effect on 70's and 69's as the value difference between a 68, a 69, and a 70 can be enormous... Consider a coin graded 69 or 70 that was accidently touched by someones fingertip.. The effect of the oils and the resultant fingerprint might not appear for years...

The 1861 is an R/B... The 1862 is a B/R ... similar to the1862 B/R penny...

If I remember correctly, I WAS able to load DNW on the non-working isp if I loaded the website through an "anonymizer" , an anonymous browsing program.. I'm on my cell phone now, but if you do a google search for that sort of software, use it, and are then able to load goldbergs, then I would be fairly certain that the problem is not with your computer but rather with your isp not recognizing the domain..

I would suggest contacting your isp and provide them with the details.... try logging in somewhere else with a different isp and see if you can connect then.... I had the same issue with DNW several years ago... worked with one isp but not another.... they needed to correct the problem.... also let Goldbergs IT dept know and ask them to contact your isp also...

Uh, that should be passed, not past. Fined one shilling.The deadline for the offer has now passed..... and the offer is now in the past...

Facebook is asking me to log in first when I click on the link

I'm not a member of Facebook so I guess I really fail the quiz... ( maybe I pass it instead... maybe that's the real test)

We've all been there.... A poor image and a hopeful imagination. Happy New Year........

I just printer out both images, tried to overlay them.... compared side by side.... I don't see a difference.... However, with the quality and fuzziness of the poorer image, one can not really be sure.... I tend to notice that the serifs on the lettering oar not as clear.... The lower serif on the 2nd 1 in the date is not clearly visible, giving the impression that it is over the tooth.... Best to wait for the coin in hand, take better pics and then compare....

To me it lookd like it is pointing directly at a tooth.... Difficult to be certain of anything from the image.... especially on a cell phone screen....

A Happy & Healthy New Year to All...

It was deliberate. It's only a budget smart phone. Lacking even the most basic teleport, time warping or terra-forming capability. Plus to be really up-to-date it appears I'd need to understand what a Google account does or why I'd need to sync my watch to my washing machine or something. Which I don't. But it's a start. Actually, I suspected that was intentional.... Apparently, we are not alone......

You're still a century behind.... This is the 21st Century.....

A Healthy & Happy Birthday... May you have many more...
