Pickups from a local show today - my first in quite a while. 1872 Half Dime graded AU58 by PCGS [IMG] [IMG] And then why not throw in a few...
The direction of text on Japanese coins changed in 1948, right to left became left to right, so it's easy to get confused because flipping the...
What years are the notes? Smaller sized silver certificates were printed from 1928 to 1964. This site talks about these "experimental" small...
1950-D Franklin 50¢ graded MS 63 FBL by NGC. [IMG] [IMG]
Thanks for the responses and advice, everyone. I did a sort of a tally of the responses and, given some interpretive license, this is how I see...
I have what looks in hand like a decent 1854 Seated Liberty 25¢, but the smudges around some of the raised areas give me pause. I originally...
1875-S 20¢ graded XF40 by PCGS - one of my favorite funky denominations. It's a close tie with the equally funky ½¢. [IMG] [IMG]

I like Susies, despite all of the criticism they receive (much of which seems to come from people not finding SBA "pretty" enough). They were...
I wasn't familiar with the special NGC Stacks slabs until I saw the half cent, so that was more than I knew about them. I bought the coin, not the...
1806 Half Cent graded VF 30 BN by NGC and marked as from Stack's W 57th St Collection - the reverse of the slab has some decent scratches on it,...
Yes, this is a gorgeous coin from now war-torn Yemen. I have almost purchased it myself a few times. And yes, the side without the dates is shown...
Saudi Arabia ١٣٧٤ (1954) ١/٤ (1/4) Rial graded MS65+ by NGC. [IMG] [IMG]
Two of my favorite coins: the Mexican 1 Peso Caballito and the Japanese Meiji 1 Yen Dragon. I can't fixate my retinas on these enough. [IMG]...
This Canadian nickel cost me so little that I don't even remember what I paid for it - probably $10 or less. Regardless, I have always had a weak...
I have an XF45 1830 Bust Half and a VF25 1834 Bust Quarter - I paid almost the same price for each one. The half may have been only slightly more...
They are worth at least $100 a piece, because many banks would probably accept them for face value. I've received older $1 and $5 bills from...
1851 Half Cent graded AU 58 BN by NGC [IMG] [IMG]
The first ancient I ever purchased was this Probus coin. A little serendipitous, I liked the portrait and it cost me next to nothing. The reverse...
