  1. Good one Paulus, The Half Penny (LT) is much scarcer than the Penny (LT).
  2. The coverage for ebayers with less than 50 feedback rating is $250.00 (minus the $25.00 deductable). Something you should consider when accepting bids from low feedback bidders!
  3. I have a coin inventory program, and there is a entry slot for both the purchase price paid for the coin, and the retail coin value. I use the CCGB as a price guide, because I think it is closer to what a coin is really worth in the market. I also use the CCGB book when I go to coin shows, so I am comparing the value of the coins I am looking to purchase, using the same book I valuate coin with in my coin program.
  4. Pete, They are only slightly scarcer than the standard 1837, but both of the 1837 types together only have a combined mintage of 349,400, so neither are common.
  5. Colin, Send it back, with documentation of what a real Mule looks like, and they will probably re-slab it.
  6. Here is my contribution to the Half Penny Thread!
  7. How about this one too Colin!
  8. I would say it was a detecting find, except that the un-etched areas are too nice to have been under the earth. It must have somehow been unknowingly exposed to moisture, or some chemical while being stored. .
  9. The 3k offer...That is where two fools met! One for offering, and one for not accepting the offer!
  10. David, Here is another ugly one! This coin (1875-H Penny) had to be uncirculated when it was lost out of someone's pocket!
  11. Prax, I just looked at my two "Dot" coins and 3 non dot 1897's, and didn't find any cracks or globs like you show near the border teeth, on any of them.
  12. Here you go Ian... http://www.amazon.com/Neon-MG21011-Illuminated-Magnifier-Magnifying/dp/B00X7IUHV4/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1455992250&sr=8-13&keywords=illuminated+loupe+40x
  13. I have a spare loupe that has a built in light. I do not use it as a general rule, where there is adequate lighting, but once in a while it is really handy to have it available at coin shows, flea markets, etc where lighting is a issue. The loupe is a 40x. so you cannot see a whole coin with it, it is too strong, but for looking for varieties, it is great.
  14. Microsoft really shot itself in the foot with its upgrades, starting with Vista! I am using windows 7...it is not bad, but I have heard 10 is a nightmare!
  15. Coin is SOLD!.......
  16. He still is selling, but seldom has anything of interest for me. He used to carry some pretty good stuff, but not so much anymore. I haven't purchased anything off of him in years.
  17. I bought it from Bob Reis, a mail order dealer here in the USA. I've had it a long time, but don't recall how long it has been. It is for sale on my website...10% off to Forum members. http://shop.rlccoins.com/1865-3-Half-Penny-184.htm
  18. Here you go Coppers.........
  19. Copper, I have a 1865/3 that has a really clogged top half of the 5, but is still a clear 5 over 3. I'll try to find it and display a pic.
  20. I think you are on to something there Peter! Ha,Ha...
  21. I like all the half pennies from Victoria forward, including the varieties! :-)
  22. I do not have any fear, hesitation, or doubt...but I have used this product personally, and for me, it doesn't work as advertised! That is my only point. btw...I must have bought one of your 40 bottles.
