You deserve it. That's quite an impressive type set you're building. Well-done, sir. Nice! The more I see the satin finishes on moderns, the...
I'm in agreement with the other posters about drinking the KoolAid, but sometimes you have to try the shoes on to see if they fit. If you like the...
Another addition to my common US coins is this Memorial cent graded by NGC at 66 RD, although it looks more RB to me. Seller's fuzzy pics......
That's mighty fine, jello. My collecting aesthetics soured on paying premiums for coins with a bit of attractive tarnish, but I would happily take...
I haven't bought directly from their website, but occasionally they list a bunch of nice slabbed coins on eBay as true auctions. I've gotten a few...
I understand that the Tortola counterstamped coins are also quite scarce, and occasionally counterfeited. It's good to have a solid authentication...
Nice haul. It's always fun to bring home a bucket-full of coins.
A very nice coin indeed. I know these come in a few denominations, uncia, tetras, trias...is there more? What are the general dimensions of the...
Nice find. I recently bought a handful of 2009 mint sets and hunted through the pennies. Whatever machinery the mint used to package these sets...

Very nice. I came across a Racketeer nickel the other day in a coin shop, but it looked too good - it looked as though the plating had been done...
I've seen worse.
Looks like the 74D was struck through something more than grease - some sort of foreign object got between the dies.
Here it is. For some reason I'm more interested in these woody coins than their perfect, homogenous cousins. A question: does streaky toning...
Ah, I see. Nevertheless, there is a Connections episode which addresses assaying and the use of touchstones. I remember watching it, back in the...
Yes, I think you mean James Burke's Connections. I wish I remembered in which episode he talks about touchstones. There's a bunch of them uploaded...
FDR's portrait is one of the best in the series, in my opinion.
Who incidentally made some of the worst counterfeit bills I've ever seen. I can't believe they fooled anyone.
Does the threat of death stop resolute criminals today? In fact, the Romans fed their counterfeiters to the beasts in the Colosseum, and yet there...
Separate names with a comma.
