Most everything is in the bank. As for my wife, she is quite nice and far brighter than I am.
@Publius2 was looking for a "Our little Monitor" Civil War token and was successful. I mentioned to him that there was an Indiana Primitive...
I found this semi-key date at the FUN show. [ATTACH] The heart of the Indian Cent set runs from 1866 to 1878. Aside from those dates, only the...
When I was kid, I could never purchase an 1886 cent in anything better than VG (today's Fine) for whatever reason. I found this one early in my...
64. The surfaces are virtually mark free, but it looks a little cloudy.
Most of the 1877 Indian Cents are over graded. That’s been true at least since I was a dealer almost 30 years ago. JJ Teaparty had the one I...

The white balance is off in that photo. The coin appears to be too "yellow." I don't know if it's less than perfect photo processing or if they...

Some computer auctions are run this way when there are bids at the end. As the clock starts counting down, it gets extended if there is another...
@KBBPLL, given need to back the paper in circulation explains the rush to make millions of silver dollars in 1921.
I was keeping up the modern commemoratives for a long time. I have all of the four and six piece wood box sets. I even bought the huge Atlanta...
1745 George II "Lima" sixpence. The "Lima" part is attributed to England bragging about the silver they took by force from the Spanish Empire....
Early copper collectors are very big into die breaks. They trace them and classify them as die states. I am not a big fan of this. When there...
