That was about the same time that the Trade Dollar was phased out, and trade with the Far East was growing at a pretty steady clip. I'm guessing...
I would rank the 1819 higher than the 1825. The consensus so far is that they are both F, but the 1819 seems borderline VF to me. The 1871...
I came across a bust half today that has an unusual cud. Under the wing on the left side, there appears to be a bit of extra metal (original to...
Hmm. It would be interesting to see an infographic that puts all of the investments into visual perspective. How big is the global real estate...
I've got a few other cameras and a scanner I can play with. I'll try to get something more in focus... Thanks for the link and feedback!
There doesn't seem to be a lot of love for the half disme. Any collectors in the forum?
Btw, Amazon is a great place to sell coin books that you no longer need. All you need is the ISBN to list the exact edition. You'd be surprised...
I'm not sure what's the deal in Poland, but their Telecommunications companies must do things very, very differently. I don't know if AT&T has a...
I read something about a 5 coin set being produced for the 25th anniversary - anyone know what's in that set?
I recently purchased an 1804 large cent and am still learning about them. The die state you referenced; does that refer to the die crack (?)...
Agreed - you did well. Those 40% JFK's have a known quantity of silver in them, so there's never any real reason to melt them down. But, if you...
Beautiful! Hopefully you've got a holder or a flip to keep it in... a coin with that much eye appeal deserves some protection.
If they're fakes, they at least look like decent ones. Sadly, there are a lot of decent fakes starting to pop up.
I'm a SCD collector - do you have a link to the auction with the fake SCD? Generally, these are fringe enough that there aren't a lot of fakes...
I recently got an 1837 capped bust half dime. It's a filler grade piece for my type set, and this is a single year type - the last year the Bust...
That's one heck of a nice junk find! I wish I could be so lucky...
I would recommend putting the coins on a scanner and posting pictures here. Coin prices vary greatly based on 3 things: the date of the coin,...
It might have been prepared for use as a love token (that was common from the 1850's until the 1910's). I agree that it's German and looks like a...
[ATTACH][ATTACH] I doubt this resolution is high enough to ID the dies, but it's what I've got to work with. Which reference book would you...
I recently won a 1886-P Morgan at the Dallas Coin Club raffle (slabbed MS63 by PCGS... not bad for a $20 raffle buy-in). One of the other members...
