Not my most expensive purchase but my favorite. I have been searching for high-grade Maine whose appearance I liked for years and I finally found...
This thread has fallen way off the front page. I love class commemoratives, so I'll bump it back by posting my 1937-S Arkansas. PCGS graded it MS...
If they are not cameo and if they are in PCGS plastic as high-grade business strikes, they are worth a lot more than similar high-grade SMS coins....
It may well be just the pictures, but I do not like that coin. The design details are too mushy for me. In the word "pluribus" the i and b seem to...
@Beefer518 As you can tell from my guess, I agree with the two previous posters who mentioned that it was difficult to judge the luster. Based on...
I know this issue comes weakly truck but this example seems especially weakly struck, especially as noted by @Publius2 on the reverse. It's hard...

I've had coins rotate. If you tap them against something semi-soft (I use my knee...ouch!) enough the coin will rotate around so it's where you...
I'm in at 66+ CAC. The check looks very smooth for a BTW. I'm not a huge fan of the toning but perhaps if there was more light it would be more...
I have acquired a decently large number of proofs over the years (such as a 1936 to 1942 set) but I have pictures of only a few of them. Here are...
I know the PCGS photos are glamour shots, but the coin itself is also pretty. It's graded PR 66. [ATTACH]
@johnmilton Thanks! Mark
@johnmilton I agree with your (and others) that the reed mark is tough and lowers the grade. But, exactly as you say, the rough planchet marks are...
I have never visited Antietam, so I envy both @Robidoux Pass and @johnmilton. It definitely would be cool to visit! In the meanwhile, I can share...
Separate names with a comma.
