Well you have all ruined it for me now. I was actually about to list a similar AHK on eBay but I was hoping for $25,000. No way I will get it now!
I have a pretty simple question. Should you, and can you, get a coin graded from within it's original proof set packaging? Do PCGS and NGC and...
I totally agree that demand and supply (economics 101) is the main driver of the price of coins. However I also agree that promotion (marketing...
Thank you paddyman, that is what it looks like!
I don't know what happened to that penny, but I hope it is never found! I just remember at 3 or 4 years old to "get that out of your mouth!" and...

It is on the 3rd from right shield line/bar, about a quarter of the way down on the shield. As I said, there appear to be other errors or rough...
I was looking closely at this Kennedy Accented Hair half dollar and it looked like it had scratches on the shield on the reverse, so I enlarged it...
First one is famous Chinese coin called: "Why don't we cut square out of middle of coin and sell to dumb Americans".
The seller may say not to worry about it, but I would pay him back anyway. I have enough things I can't control hanging over my head. At least you...
Oh God, this means I am going to have to go back through my gzillions of pennies to see if I have any of those LP2 2009s!
