The value of various paper and specie fluctuated wildly and was incredibly chaotic during the Revolutionary War period. This would make for a...
I include the cost of shipping in the cost to acquire a coin.
Transactions such as this would likely have used the paper note, but in the western frontier hard money was relatively more common.
The biggest thing I miss from the time that the market was absolutely dead in the early to mid-1990s is that there were always really cool coins...

If a knowledgeable shop was recently selling authentic Barber coinage at the levels you quoted then I sure hope you purchased every last single...
I think the idea of a Box of Twenty (Bo20) is a very good option for some collectors. Likewise, collecting year date sets, complete regular issue...
Regardless of the grade, the coin has been cleaned fairly harshly.
The lighting is too harsh to be absolutely certain if it has been cleaned or not. It may have been washed lightly to give it a lighter color,...
Here are a couple more with a little different look than those generally posted. A 1913 Type I Buffalo nickel, which is a matte proof issue so it...
Thank you for including a coin and image that came from me. For those who have not seen it, the 1907 Barber quarter is likely the nicest MS65...
