Thinking about it. My 1793-1964 type set was about fifteenth in rank when I yanked it. And it's been improved since then. I may select a smaller...
https://www.ngccoin.com/news/article/7753/ This is NOT new. NGC is just returning to something that they should never have stopped. I had 10-12...
I just took a quick peek at that site. It appears to be limited pretty much to Red Book listed varieties.
One of my difficulties is knowing how much to bid/pay for a die variety. And this carries over into how much to value my collection. Example:...
Oooooooo, that one is a goodie :cool:
Fuzzy images
No. I don't collect any coins after 1964.
IMO it straight grades. I see the ding and scratch as honest wear. And IF it has been dipped (I'm leaning towards "yes"), it appears older and...
Both are one-year types. Nice.
This is the only book I could find about Shield Nickels. A Guide Book of Shield And Liberty Head Nickels: Complete Source For History, Grading,...

IMO it's time to redesign the dime. Roosevelt was a highly respected president and got the US through some tough times (the Great Depression &...
I was there in 1994 and they had already done away with the penny which resulted in 5d breakage. Didn't seem to harm them at all. Plus as I...
If nothing else, I'll be interested in at least looking at the auctions listings. I'm close enough that I could go, most likely by AmTrak. Heck, I...
I had NO interest in even looking. At least you alerted me to whatever I was ignoring. The Mint spends so much time putting out overpriced stuff....
[IMG] [IMG] [IMG] I think NGC gave it a bit of a gift with this grade. But older keys often tend to get that treatment.
1. A 1796 Draped Bust Quarter/Small Eagle Reverse. 2. A 1796 Draped Bust Half Dollar/Small Eagle Reverse. Both are 5-figure coins in what I...
I think you've got it correct. Somewhere I've seen a coin from the same reverse die without the wing damage. So I attribute the other marks to die...
