I think the Smithsonian has a pretty sweet collection!
I would guess it's worth around $200-$250 to most toned Merc collectors. I'm not even a toned Merc collector but I might even pay $100-$150 for...
That is correct. Pop 22/0 in my example means 22 examples graded MS66 with none graded in any higher grades. Since PCGS considers MS66+ a...
1892 commemorative half - one of the coolest examples I've ever owned [IMG] 1992 commemorative half [IMG] 1992 commemorative dollar - always...

Depending on your budget, you could easily just start jumping into buying them as you find them. Then, when you find a better example for the...
You may disagree with Leadfoot's bluntness in his comments, but you should still consider what he says. You maybe don't need to look at 1000...
If you are very patient, you can assemble a set of MS64 graded coins that will have the quality equal to an MS65 set. The graders aren't perfect...

Very neat and congrats. Nice close ups of the doubling too. When you blow up the full size trueviews can you see it just as well??? I...
Anyone else going??? I'm going Saturday for sure. Definitely one of the better SoCal shows. Not sure how much currency will be there, but I...
