HA does the math for you as you are bidding. I’ve always known what I am bidding and have never had to pull out a calculator.
That’s a nice looking 1794. I’m surprised it’s details graded, as some in straight graded slabs look worse. My oldest Federal coin is also a 1794...
My first purchase of the new year. This is one of several key dates in the series. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I’ve never sold anything on EBay to customers abroad. I may actually try Global Shipping though. It would be nice to be able to avoid the hassle...

What’s wrong with buying and selling contemporary counterfeits that are identified and sold as such and have historical value? Should collectors...
