This site is as good (or better) than any on the web. There are others, of course, but this one is a good place to start. Ask questions. Absorb...
Just a guess but I'd say one of these.. [ATTACH]
Seems like a reasonable grade. Photos tend to accentuate flaws.
10 million W's out of an estimated 1.85 billion coins - that's about 1 in 185 (0.54%). Coins are randomly seeded in bags going to the Federal...
I, too, have always loved proof sets. One of my earliest acquisitions was a 1958 proof set, my birth year. There's nothing like a proof strike....
I have to agree on both counts. On first glance, it looks like a woman in Mom-jeans straddling the Earth. After a moment, the left foot appears,...

It's been a while since I got a wheatie in change. Got this 1945 tonight. Thought I'd share (I remember when wheaties were everywhere. I'm old :(...

Entry Post (9,2,11,5,7,1,6,8,12,3,4,10) In memory of my best girl I lost 2 years ago this month (a Newfoundland/Rottweiler mix), here's my 1997...
I can't add anything to the good advice above but be forewarned that acetone will destroy the finish on wood furniture almost instantly. Keep this...
