Back in the 1800's, a half dollar went a long way. A good chunk of the average person's wages, she must have meant a lot to the giver. Either that...
The United States Mint employs some of the best artists. While most of the designs thus far are less than par, they fall within the selected...
Wall panels from Lowes or Home Depot, a drill and gold transfer lettering from Michael's. Less than $30 plus your time.
Toning will always be objective and traded accordingly at a premium. The eye appeal on this one, and any for that matter, falls short with such...
That one sold last month on the 17th through Heritage. Part of the Rob R. Simpson Collection and hammered for $114,000. So some how I don't see...
Medals are are great addition to any collection.
I'm the "buy the coin..." type. While nothing against third party, the new security features are a definite plus on highly counterfeited or high...
For a matched set, the ask price seems fair. To assemble a similar matched set would almost certainly cost more. Looking at the mintage numbers of...
Well said. I've been a proponent on the subject for years, sending letters and e-mails to the U.S. Mint, the Treasury Department and various...
An absolute yes. I'm liking the overall patina.
I recently bought a continental dollar ring. Yeah, it was a copy hammered into a ring but it looks awesome!
While that is one sweet coin and worthy of a premium, no where near the MS63 range. Despite a mintage of 3170. Heritage last sold one, same grade,...
That should make for a nice series when complete. I'd start picking off the key and semi-key dates to avoid all of them at once the closer you get...
My vote was for an MS64. But I highly doubt it'll get Full Band designation.
I'm leaning towards the above mentioned planchet theory. What ever the true case may be, I specifically seek those out and pay a premium...
Any coin is going to look different in hand as opposed to an image. For a coin to retain a cameo contrast, deep aside, after 146 years is quite...
While that is an impressive collection, and a far greater undertaking, I would strongly argue a case leaning towards that of the late Eric P....
U.S. coin, 1840o Seated Liberty Dime NGC EF45 with a mintage of 230,000. Foreign, a 2015 Australian Wedge-tailed Silver Eagle PCGS PF70 DCAM (not...
Somewhere in the 3600 range. Based on the 65 graded with 8 in 67, the highest. The 8 are listed at $4000, but who knows when the last sampling was...
Outstanding! I'm still missing a 1928 and 1934s in an AU grade to match my set at a price I'm comfortable with. Most dealers and sellers on EBAY...
