Slightly off-topic, but... if they're minting coins at the West Point mint, why don't they mark them with "W"? I know they sometimes have done...
Good for you! In my opinion, the 1921 Peace Dollar is one of the most beautiful coins in our history. It's one of the few keys I have in a high...
Oh man. This is really terrible for those of us who prefer raw coins. I've been seeing even low-grade common-date faked half cents up on the...
Great pickup! If I'd caught it, I'd have bid you up a bit ;-)
Plenty of people would have played it cool and stiffed her on that one. Kudos to you. Also... wow!!!
(1) The date is wrong (2) The drapery is slightly off (3) The surfaces look like those I've seen on many Chinese knockoffs I think it's always...
I would call it AU-55 but on a good day it could pass for AU-58. It's definitely in that range.
Can you get better pictures? It's hard to say from these views, but I'm leaning toward counterfeit to stay on the safe side. Without close-ups,...
Wow. Congrats, and I hope the rest come back and blow you away.
I bought a Dansco album that had them in it (a true eBay special, the seller never noted the coins were inside but I noticed in them in the...
I picked up a well-struck PCGS OGH MS63 example with consistent golden tone on the obverse and a blast white reverse for $393. Beautiful examples...
Please post a pic of the obverse. A bunch of folks around here (myself included) will be able to tell you. There have been a few great threads...
In that case, I'm glad I didn't bid you up. I set my snipe in the $121-122 area.
Congrats! This was actually on my snipe list. My laptop was off when it ended, though...
I won't speak to the authenticity of the coin, but I wouldn't doubt it on account of it not fitting the 7070 hole. As others have already pointed...
I started with Lincoln Wheat Cents, starting with 100 rolls to search through. It was fun, I filled a lot of spots in my albums and upgraded as I...
My dealers are in a similar boat and are making good money for it, so good for them. I've stopped collecting silver series (except for MS Peace...
I saw your filename was S-223, so the cat was out of the bag for me. But I was looking for that cud and saw scant evidence of it, although I was...
I will -- it'll be my first foray into coin photography, but I've been wanting to start photographing my collection for a while now...
The surface looks funky to my eyes, as if it has no age. I'm no expert on such things, but my gut says to avoid this one.
