Nice looking coin. Congrats.
It’s from the famous Loosenup collection, so the L is OK. Just like the D stamped on the Dexter 1804 dollar graded PR65 by PCGS. Cal
I’ve found registered mail transit time to vary … a lot. I’ve had it go across country in a few days, but had it take 6 weeks for Calif. to...

Check prices realized on the GC website for ANACS versus PCGS. Then decide. Cal
Bid structure at Heritage is even more complex than shown in the increment table. Until a predetermined time before the auction goes “live”, you...
Outside of eBay, sniping can get pretty expensive once the bid is more than a few hundred dollars. Look at the bid increments for Heritage in the...
"I'm not going to be a loser" can be a very expensive attitude, especially if 2 or more bidders have it and want the same coin. Never bothers me...
