This is an 1883-CC that I got in one of the famous GSA sales for $45, I think. It was in the discard category of excessively baggy and/or toned...
I've written lots of articles for the numismatic press, but I'm not sure how much knowledge I've created. I would say that most of my writing is...
Is there a D/D for this date?
Looks to me like an XF common date Peace dollar and not worth being certified, if you were interested in that.
When I was a kid in the '50s looking through tons of coins, I don't think I found many, if any, Barbers. I did get a few really nice coins from a...

A dealer once told me that in the dealer community ICG stands for I Can't Grade! Also, ANACS is okay and a lot less expensive. The one major coin...
XF at best, and I would vote for getting it certified. I should note that I get ALL my coins certified so that dealers won't be as likely to...

All nice items above. Congrats. I've been buying with/for my wife various British hammered coins. I'm trying to get enough together to make it...
