The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Cool Coin--What is Cohen-10?

Roger Cohen wrote "The Little Half Sisters - A Reference Book on the United States Half Cents Coined from 1793 to 1857" which is the standard reference for attributing the die pair varieties of US Half Cents. Cohen-10 or C-10 refers to the die pair designation attributable to this coin. Numismatic researchers catalog and create references for known die pair varieties for each year that a coin was minted. They also record interesting attributes, and the relative rarity in census reports. Walter Breen was another numismatic scholar who cataloged Half Cents by die pair varieties and published his own separate attribution scheme. Edited by numismatic student

Words to live by oih82w8. Any thoughts about what the coin might grade?

There are others (especially dealers) who can submit for you if you don't have enough to make it worth your while.

I can submit to PCGS for a little south of $15+ship per coin if I accumulate 10. Don't really want to pay full freight for a dealer submit.
