Well I don't know if my experience with Kennedy's translates into Ikes, but I have yet come across a lower-grade proof that had a DCAM...
What exactly are surface adhesions as opposed to verdigris?
Thank you gentlemen! The seller is asking $330, but I assumed that was grossly inflated from what little market research I've done. Perhaps I'll...
I didn't realize that. I thought the danscoalbumstore was their official company site......
It seems to me that so much of grading modern proofs has to do with hairlines and pitting that you can only see under magnification, so it's...
I think I would go with a handful of common gold Byzantines - I like the very medieval look of the devices. I don't think I'd be psychologically...
The Dansco 7070 doesn't cost $100 - he was referring to the Intercept Shield. You can get the 7070 brand new at Dansco's website for around $35....

I've always thought an interesting type set would be all US coins that contained nickel, which would include all the nickels of course, in...
A type set is a genre as opposed to a strict form. Saying "type" is like saying "movie" or "music" - it tells you nothing about the specific...
I posted this eBay gamble yesterday in another thread. I think it's similar to the quarter you found today. It looks completely natural and muddy...
Most likely, in my opinion. However, the fact that the set was sealed makes no difference. That set is not a US Mint issue. For all we know, it...
What happened with your coin is that somebody submitted a bulk lot of ASE's and only wanted coins above a certain grade to get numbers. The rest...

Separate names with a comma.
