Yes, a 1909 VDB matte proof would be worth even more than the 1909-S VDB business strike, despite the fact that the latter is the big key date for...
Proof Lincoln cents in 1909 were matte proofs, and have a distinctive appearance. Yours is not a matte proof. It is a regular business strike....
I’m a Southerner born and bred, but my ancestors fought for the Union in the Civil War, so I reckon we were on the right side of history that...
I'll bet that's a stunner in hand.
Easy for me. The dynamic duo of Pupienus and Balbinus cinched it- in fact, I'd have likely given either one by itself the top vote. (Out of the...
I concur. Not worth the hassle and expense of certification. Nice coin to stick in an album, but not worth slabbing.

Nice matched set!
Here are two more "sentimentals" from my collection. Both are fairly low-value modern World coins, but they represent the two foreign countries I...
This metal detecting find is one of several "sentimental" coins for me. All of my detector finds are sentimental, in a way, because I can look at...
Not necessarily. They just saw heavy circulation. Remember, small change was scarce in the US before and during the Civil War, which is also why...
I'll bet there are some in the dirt up there where you've been diggin', Sal. The very first half dime I ever dug (in NC) was an 1829 Capped Bust...
Really nice! I've had a few, including at least one regular proof and one Cameo proof, but this MS example was the last one I had in my...
Here's one in an early NGC slab, from my Giveaway Gallery. Anybody who wants a shot at it can enter my current giveaway, if you haven't already,...
Lovely! The highest grade Bust half I've ever owned was an AU53. It was a white coin, like yours. My present Capped Bust half type coin is...
