The Peace dollar is circulated and you paid pretty close to full retail on the coin. Dipping it would destroy a bit of the value of the coin and...
I like to pick up the modern $5 US gold commems for bullion value or a bit less when using bing. Typically, I purchase raw coins with all the...
I have intentionally built my 7070 to be within the grades of VF to AU with original, crusty coins. This makes finding the classic commems rather...
Can you post pictures within your thread that do not take me to the linked website? I ask because I do not trust that website that you have...

When I sell coins I would rather use too much packaging than too little packaging. Similarly, when buying coins I appreciate someone who packs...
I like it quite a bit. Uncut sheets are really cool.
Did you edit your first post to change the story of this piece? I seem to recall different details when it was originally posted. Perhaps I am...
What kind of certificate of authenticity was included?
I believe pretty strongly it is a fake. The reasons for this include that the piece appears to be completely round and that it has all of its...
I voted "No". The reason for this is because I grade coins by looking at the entirety of the coin, which includes marks, strike, eye appeal,...
Yes, there were multiple obverse and reverse die pairs used in production of these pieces. I don't know the exact number and do not have the...
