I agree. Shipping is definitely an acquisition cost, and I track it in my collection database as part of the cost.
The zeppelin tokens have been something I've pursued for a while (especially after a gold 1929 commemorative fell into my lap when I paid top...
4 of those in MS63 are well above $56 in value. And I suspect that 2 (of the more common dates in the group, unfortunately) might get an MS65 or...
Yep. At that price, I certainly had higher hopes.
How much did that one go for?
The seller was pretty clear that any pre-1935 dollar could be in there. They only vouched for the weight of the roll. Some of the other rolls for...
There were firms that rolled from bags in the 60s and 70s. But, I'm not sure how widespread the practice was, and, while this conglomeration does...
They were in an old (looking) "First Financial & U.S. Trust Corp. / Wall Street, New York / $10.00 DOLLARS / Johnson Fare Box Co, Chicago" wrapper...
I picked this roll up the other day. If either of the end coins had had S mint marks on the back, I'd be sitting pretty. Have you ever gambled on...

There seems to be a number (or other fragment of a serif) under the 4. Can't find anything like it on the VAM list. Any idea? It seems to be a...
Bumping this. I've been picking up world war 2 era NAAFI tokens whenever I get the chance, but they don't seem to be widely known. They often...
1854 & 1913 quarter eagles. Thoughts on grade, appreciated. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
The o in dOllar has something going on that I suspect is PMD. Or is that a die break that I just haven't found listed?
Also, is it just me, or is the VAM market for Peace dollars rather small compared to Morgans?
Even at the biggest bullion dealers in Dallas, it's hard to find AU-BU 1921 Morgans for less than $28 right now, and that's if you buy 10 or more....
Ms62.
The differing mintages are for the proof and uncirculated varieties (both of which were minted in smaller numbers than Congress authorized because...
Separate names with a comma.
