When I saw the book was out of print, I went to Amazon and there are two listed. One is $335 with shipping, one is $420. My bet is that if Dr....
Does anyone have any idea whether Dr. Wiles' Kennedy attribution book is slated for re-issue? I would love to get one, but can't justify north of...
Artificial toning is an issue because there is a market for it. Get lucky and get an AT coin past a TPG and you can make a bundle. To some...
Having two lefts but no rights does tend to complicate things. So here is another try. The upper coin is a '17. Both of the lower coins are...

Cladking, I thought maybe I could spot the difference between the '73 and '74 quarter reverses better if I focused on proofs which should have...
Cladking, thanks for the input. I have probably read everything you have ever posted on clad quarters. It's the subtleties of die varieties that...
I have seen some mention of 1973 quarters with a 1972 reverse and 1974 quarters with '72 or '73 reverses. I think I could tell a '72 reverse, but...
