If there were some way to "authenticate" the timing of the reeding as taking place at the 1937 ANA, I think the coin would be worth a *modest*...
Well, as an amateur genealogist, I could tell you that 25% of me *is* an American Indian (note that most of them *don't* use the term "Native...
Not only that, but it's in a place that makes it a very interesting piece. The die crack wouldn't nearly be as interesting in the fields or...
Oh, and when to have it slabbed and graded? I think it's an individual decision, but from the standpoint of when it makes financial sense, while...
Yeah -- I think it's a die crack, too. Seems like an interesting variety -- the "stressed Indian" variety with the bulging vein in his neck! :D...
Maybe -- but sometimes, humor and brutal honesty cam go a long way toward making people want to deal with you and sometimes seems to bring in...
Yep, it's sad. Fortunately, it's a very common coin in mint state, which makes it a little easier to take, but it's still sad. How's this for...
It would add weight, slightly -- but very slightly. I was thinking about a polishing job here, maybe even with a whizzing thrown in to boot. Odd...
Bumped to show addition to the thread and the change in title....
Almost everyone I know who has a lot of experience with the crossover game insist that you will have MUCH better results cracking them out and...
Thanks. I originally was just planning on having a place to remotely store good pictures for insurance purposes. But as I was doing that, I...
Don't buy the hype. Even if the "22 known" claim is remotely close to accurate, that may mean only 22 have been certified according to some...
Hi Donna, First of all...welcome! This is certainly a novelty coin produced outside the Mint (using pieces from two different coins) and...
Who was it who warned me about catching the gold bug? (Oh yeah, several of you.) Anyway, I guess I caught it because here's another one (like...
Almost anything according to my mood, though generally not rap, country or modern "death metal." The "big hair bands" of the early 1980s are...
Well...yeah. But I think I could pretty well spot a clearly genuine coin if it passed the weight test. Most of the fakes appear a bit grainy and...
Unquestionably fake. The reverse doesn't even look *close* to what an authentic Trade Dollar reverse looks like. Most Trade Dollar fakes I've...
Indeed. Maybe I'm limiting myself, but I would absolutely NOT buy any raw Trade Dollars or Seated Liberty Dollars. There are just WAY too many...
The PCGS guides (and most other price guides) are quoting their estimates based on "the average dealer asking prices for properly graded United...
Glad to hear it. I only wish that others I've heard from were as lucky. I've heard from one dealer in Port Charlotte who wasn't so lucky --...
Separate names with a comma.
