Here is a 1909 "Plain" Lincoln Cent in Matte Proof 65 R&B. I wish it were the 1909-VDB in Proof, but that coin is scarce, and it has been more...
No. And the answer is "HELL NO" if it's the Mint Director before this one. He was about as anti-collector as you could get. He slipped stuff out...
There is plenty wrong with it. If you are a collector who has hundreds of coins, as I do, this is an attempt to get me to spend tens of thousands...
CAC faces the same problem as the other second tier graders faced when they tried to challenge NGC and PCGS. If their standards are lower,...
Yes, that is the Rhode Island fouled anchor variety. Here is the 1844 "lying medal" where Clay or his supporters were anticipating his...
If they had sent one to me, it would have been a waste. I really don't care who pushed the button.
How the William the Conqueror PAX penny? Some people think this was the first William II (a.k.a Rufus) coin. The "PAX" is in the center of the...
Contrary to some opinions, these coins hold up surprisingly well in the box holders IF the set is stored under consistent temperatures and a low...
Henry Clay has an interesting place in U.S. history. From 1824 until 1848, he was a perpetual presidential candidate. Is supporters, or perhaps...
That is a nice @h8 modern. That is the most common Lincoln the rail splitter variety. If you look closely, the guy holding the wedge is Stephen...
Some people might have the idea that the 1860 Republican Party was "the little party that succeeded." Actually the Republicans had more campaign...
Here's a Bennington Battle Medal from Vermont. Fay's Tavern, which appears on the reverse, was proposed as the reverse design from the Vermont...
I'll take #1, the Roman provincial coin, but I don't have a cat. Wish I had a dog. :bear:
Here's another. This 1854-O, which is another date that noted for weak strikes, is graded AU-50. [ATTACH]
This one gets "the opposite of CAC award." Sorry, but giving that coin an AU-53 is ridiculous. The marks on the face would have had me figuring on...
Yes, these things are right down there with the “1929 half eagle layered in genuine 24 karat gold” :wacky: the scam artists advertise on TV now...
The Iowa school house followed by the Florida sailing ship and space shuttle.
It's a PCGS MS-65 This one is an NGC MS-64. PCGS bounced it back to me a body bag 20+ years ago for "questionable toning." My feeling on the...
[ATTACH]
My vote is neither. I don't see these pieces as "investments." The mintages are going to be fairly high, and probably some collectors are like me....
