Well the Neil/Carter/Contursi 1794 Silver Dollar has PCGS certification number 1794. I'd certainly pay a premium for that... if I could ever...
Maybe I should have specified to avoid confusion for Baseball21. As superdave corrected, they both sold this year - 2 months apart roughly. I...
Hi All! Thanks for bearing with my dumb questions. I promise this is the last one! (for now ;) ) I'm just trying to understand - not annoy...
Interesting, thanks for the insights. On coins like this - I've learned beauty can be very subjective. One comment: There is no edge lettering...
