A coin dealer I knew used to call those kinds of Morgans "flashers". He would sell them at AU prices.
That's what I thought at first, but upon closer examination of my coin I see it has no distinct rim like all the other off-center strikes shown...
What's Jefferson doing in this coin?
It's probably better that you waited on that one, Green. In 1968, the Mint quickly sold out its proof sets (because of the pent-up demand and the...
Had that 1958 quarter been dipped before it was put in your folder? Also, what does the reverse look like?

One ounce of pure gold can be hammered into the equivalent of 100 square feet of gold leaf. So one square foot (144 square inches) of 24K gold...
Ouch! And double ouch! Triple ouch even! Someone must have had really had a grudge against your half dollar! Kind of like this 1775 French ecu,...
I'm sorry, but you are as wrong as can be on that. I bought the coin in 1989 at J&M Coins & Jewellery in Vancouver, Canada, before there even was...
