In which case consider Goldberg Auctions, they have handled many stellar Copper collections and have a strong following in the copper community. And that is what you want if you are selling a large high end copper collection. Would this be better than selling in the annual EAC auction? |

The EAC auction always brings strong results. KV has been doing a great job curating the catalog over the last couple of years.
The latest PW, I read through EAC sale results, and I didn't see maybe one or two under $100, out of 100+ lots sold.
That being said, Stacks, Goldberg, and Heritage all have a strong copper following as well.

Here is my 1852, which I have not gotten around to attributing yet, as I am working my way up the ladder.   |

If I may ask a related question regarding the pricing guides: I have always used CQR as a guide, as well as prices realised to give me an idea what current prices are for large early coppers.
A couple of you guys have mentioned the pricing guide by Noyes, and If I remember correctly The 'Early Cent Grading Guide' mentions this as well. What is your opinion on the differences / advantages of either one. I may consider getting a copy of the Noyes guide next time I am in the US but would like to hear opinions if possible. Thanks!

Well one big advantage of Noyes's Penny Prices is that they latest issue is a lot more recent. The last issue of CQR was published nine years ago, There have been three editions of Penny prices since then. As far as content went I preferred CQR, but since it is no longer being published it is pretty much moot.

Sorry I've been away for a few days.
JoeCoin, Definitely a very late state N-1 The 2 is a result of the deterioration of the die. This happens even on modern coins, where the numbers will start looking like double dies. All it is is due to die wear. Joe, if you collect die states of a particular Newcomb variety, then you have a really good one to start with. Now you need to look for an early die state so you can see the differences. Some well known collectors not only collected as many of the Newcomb varieties, but also collected die states.
CQR is still a very good reference, and I do use it a lot. But it is nice to see what current prices are for choice coins of different grade, especially since I try to only collect choice specimens, regardless of the grade. You can occasionally find an EF45 that looks so nice, you might mistake it for an AU55. Usually those lower grade coins are rarities that I cannot afford in higher grades.
I'm still waiting for my Grading Guide. I think the owner of the business I ordered from is back East, and that is why it is taking so long.
