At this point, it doesn't really matter. The cent has no buying power. It is basically worthless. It costs more than a cent to produce it. The...
I recently finish a book by Anthony Everitt and Roddy Ashworth, Nero, Matricide, Music and Murder in Imperial Rome. The authors mentions values...
The diagnostic point on the merchant die is the positioning of the star, the "H" below it and the "T" below that. Die 29310 has the left side of...
I was attributing some Civil War Tokens yesterday and ran into one that seems like it's unlisted. This is from the Broas (pronounced "Bwas") Pie...
I don’t think you are going to buy this for less than VG money. Low grade (Good) examples of this type look terrible.
Unfortunately, PCGS did not photograph many of the coins they graded until a few years ago. It's one of the flaws in their business model in my...

One of the "6 figure coins" I mentioned is now one of the finest known 1804 dimes. It graded AU. I scraped together every penny I had. It was bid...
Here is the $5 gold beside an 1883 racketeer nickel. All of the pre-1933 half eagles had an eagle on the reverse. So that side should not have...
For that price it is a great buy.
The trouble with many racketeer nickels is that you never know when they have been gold plated. Was it in 1883 or was it last week? I have posted...
Here are two $10 notes with very similar designs. This one was issued by the Mechanics Savings Bank of Savannah, Georgia on July 1, 1855....
