My first half-dime. I had no idea how small these things were. Some damage but good detail. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
When I first started collecting coins, on Ebay I would buy those "estate sale mixed lots with silver coins! Too much to sort through!" And you...
Hard coin for me to grade - my only personal example of this half-dollar is a G at best. Going with MS62 based on details, marks, and toning.
I just got back from a local coin show - and saw the same sellers as I did last time - but there was an uptick of buyers compared to last month....
Coin show today - walked away with this 1798 cent. Not as nice as I would want but still a nice historical piece. And all I could afford in this...

I'm a learning newbie so GTG are very educational for me. And I'm feeling more confident because of them; especially in the heat of the moment...
Ah the Matron my least favorite large cent design... I'll go with MS-63 due to some surface unevenness and also the lack of luster. I have a...
I don't think I've ever seen such a large cent in person with that kind of detail. I'll be conservative (based on some minor quibbles) and go...
Lovely coins - and an additional vote for a larger pic of the St. Gauden!

Just a wonderful collection - I've taken a sudden interest in gold coins so I'll be studying these images for a bit.
Recently I've been seeing some Washington quarters on Ebay that look a lot like this - very shiny almost proof, but, at least with the quarter, a...
