Not really. Back in the late 1970s when I first started collecting halves by Overton die marriage it was "common knowledge" there were too many...
I've said pretty much the same thing for years. I have come to the idea that one shouldn't necessarily buy the keys last, however. While I would...
Not thousands...but I do own over 250 1827 half dollars in all grades from worn-out cull to MS.
Not a problem. No way from my post for you to know. Hope you and your wife aren't really in danger of splitting up over a hobby.

Looking back over my post, yes, it does appear that we might have split up...:oops: Actually, we had 27 great years together before she passed in...

An out-of-print (but available on-line at https://nnp.wustl.edu/library/book/512710) book that belongs in the library of anyone interested in...
Of those two???? Neither, but if forced to buy one then the Frankie. I HATE Morgan dollars, though.
I'm not CircCam (luckily for him) but this is one of the few modern commems that I do like. It is the 2008 Bald Eagle Commemorative Proof Silver...
I wonder if the Red Book editors were basing their estimate on the TPG population listings. In that case, I shouldn't be at all surprised by...
The John Reich Collectors Society stills lists it as an R-3 which would be somewhere between 201 to 500 examples so I would still trust your...
Separate names with a comma.
