Not surprising to me that counterfeit Kennedy's are now appearing. I think with the photos, weighing, and magnet test, you've gotten all you need...
Hah. I may be old blind and collect only Roman coins but even a blind squirrel can find an acorn from time to time! Actually I've been trying to...
Sadly again I must resort to poor man's copper as I could afford no silver coin of Caracalla. I do have this large bronze medallion, an AE44,...
All my proof Franklins were bought near the 3x face range. Still, I'm going to assume no hidden hairlines and go with a PF-67 cameo.
A retired friend of mine recently completed a 4 piece early type set of half eagles ranging from 1806 to ~1834. He left off the small eagle...
The Power of Positive Thinking!
Thanks, I get a lot of mileage out of mine as I use it in my school presentations. I see that they're listed as an Italian mint. Is there any...
Well here's mine but being poor I can only afford copper. One day though I'll look for a nice silver one but with the present coin frenzy I'm...
Well actually the US Seated dollars have at least 4 types. The no stars Gobrecht obv/ Flying Eagle with stars rev: 1836, the with stars Gobrecht...
About 5 years ago I acquired my 1st ever small eagle reverse coin. This was a 1797 dollar. From long ago I, also owned 2 Hereldic Eagle reverse...
I'm woefully inexperienced in quarter eagles of this era. It is a pretty coin, I'll go ms-64. I think graders may go a bit tougher on the small...
I think I have one as well as other Platinum group metals. I even have an Iridium coin. Will look for photos.
No I was just making a joke for the OP. I pictured a slightly difference reverse (small eagle of 1796) vs the Hereldic Eagle of 1804-07? which...
'Tales' of Two Quarters... Hopefully it was not like this??? [ATTACH]
Yep, where's the beef? I've only bought on Ebay, never sold. The last thing I bought was a factory refurbished late model laptop computer for my...
Don't feel bad. That's an extremely clean 63. Also not a bad date. When gold was cheap I looked a lot at Lib golds at Heritage & GC and don't...
I'm going ms 63. Hard to tell the surfaces from your photo. Also usually 63's and even many 64's have some major digs somewhere these days.
On the 1799 Bust dollar, I believe those lines in the hair obv., are adjustment marks and not after striking scratches.
That's very interesting about the 1840 reverse of 38 half dollar. I should look into that article. Sometime around 1978 or 79 I bought a group...
What a very nice set & idea! A good friend of mine whom I've known for many years does the same thing but with slightly later sets. He also...
