The obverse reminds me too much of the GHS Explosive symbol: [ATTACH]
It will be interesting to see what comes of this. However, I’m sure the Mint would find a way to mess the coins up.
While the ASE looks nice, I decided to forgo this one since $139.95 is pretty steep. Knowing how my luck works, this means that the set will...
If you have a smartphone, I recommend the Coinflation app made by PCGS. It looks like there is also a Coinflation.com if you’re using a desktop...
They look really nice, but $139.95 is pretty expensive for an ASE with a mintage of 110,000. Whether or not I get this set will depend on how much...
This quarter is 1806 B-6, which is an R5 die marriage according to the Rea et al bust quarter book (this is in line with the Mega Red Book...

The + would’ve been more appropriate if it was a Phillips head screw, but sadly it appears to be a standard head screw.
I’d wager a guess of VF25. This is a very nice example for the grade.
I posted a collage of my top 9 lowest mintage on my Instagram recently, so here they are. As others have said, it’s worth noting that low mintage...
Very nice examples! Regarding the anomaly on the obverse of the 1836 quarter... it is actually due to a die crack. You can see the bottom part of...
Off the top of my head, Fractional Money by Neil Carothers may be of some interest to you. It is a Ph.D. thesis about earlier US coins and some of...
Thank you for sharing! I remember an 1819 quarter with this counterstamp on eBay a few years ago. It sold for quite a bit (~$800 IIRC), but in...
I’d say F12. You’d be hard pressed to find a nicer example for the grade! It has a beautiful original appearance.
The 1935 Connecticut Tercentenary Half Dollar has been my favorite classic commemorative design for quite awhile now. The combination of the...
I take the following (different) approach regarding numismatic spending: why have one when you can have two for twice the price? If I really like...
Aaand it’s relisted....
Here are the seller’s images of the OP coin from the eBay listing for posterity’s sake after the eBay listing disappears in the future. You can...
It appears to be the most expensive lowball 1823/2 JR-3 ever sold. You’d think that people with enough money to buy an 1822 would do their due...
Regarding the cent/penny going by the wayside, I wouldn’t be surprised if sometime in the future they aren’t made for circulation but are still...
Separate names with a comma.
