Oh, come on! Don’t you believe those stories they tell on eBay about how the kid got this family heirloom from his dear, beloved grandpa? It can...
Hoover has consistently ranked as a low average president. The initial economic downturn was not his fault. He took office on March 4, 1929....
1891 is a common date in the IHC series. It's not as easy as the Philadelphia Mint dates from the 1900s, but there is nothing really hard about...
Sometimes the whole is more attractive than the parts. I would leave the piece alone. This is not a great example of that because this is a...
Today our national political conventions are really dull affairs unless you are a complete political junkie. The presidential nominee is selected...
That the best Feuchwanger Cent I have ever seen! Congratulations!
I would be more inclined to say that Christian Gobrecht designed the large cents from the late 1837s. The general concept was still there, but the...

It has EF sharpness, but I would be be concerned about getting it back with “cleaned” on the label. That color looks to be quite unnatural and the...
This type of deep scratch can be deceptive. A raised line on the surface of a coin can be a die break, which is not a post mint defect. This type...
