    Your collective losses are exponentially higher! Sorry, I am not a doctor. I cannot help you. Parting shot: "A man cannot be too careful in the choice of his enemies." 😉

    Great example! I've always loved these two-cent pieces. Look at that artistry! Look at the flourish on that 2 and the letters with definition! (No comparison with the generic, computer-generated fonts of today.) Thanks for sharing. First time I have ever been able to see one of these up close in over 50 years.

    Your collective losses. The population of the U.S. is 3.3 million; that of the world: 7.7 billion. I have not, and will not, ever block anyone.

    "The mistake of reading." A priceless gem if ever there was one right on up there with a former president's "I am not a crook." And I am well aware you haven't been around because you missed the donnybrook that quickly descended into fisticuffs with slurs being slung around prompting our colleague, Alex from PA., to literally beg the moderators to extinguish the distinguished venerable VKurtB's explosive thread which began so evenly with an ode to a federal judge, so touching it inspired him to declare he had never been prouder of being a Pennsylvanian. A thread is not unlike a newspaper, cellphone or television set. You can turn the page, scroll on, or switch channels. For the "mistake of reading" jewel I am going to grant you a lifetime exemption from review. Now, go and check out VKurtB's thread on Pennsylvania and the pandemic before the higher-ups expunge it. No hard feelings, buddy!

    As the owner of the No.: 1 Registry Set of the above-titled matter [Rooster Roster] my question to collectors is why is it both TPG have produced the following glaringly disparate grading populations results for the following years, as follows: 1899-1906, Mint State-67 = Zero or None (unavailable at any price despite mintages well into the millions. By contrast, 1907-1914, Mint State-67 = 40 (pejoratively dismissed as re-strikes) My question posed to fellow rooster collectors who have been stymied in completing their quality compilations is why do you suppose that is?

    Would anyone care to venture a guess as to why of the 117 million minted not a single rooster has been graded MS-67, or higher by any TPG service?
