Part of the problem is, of course, the conflicting policies of our government during the last 16 months of the pandemic. The general guidance was...
Ha, got it right!
I voted XF-40 because that's how I see the TPG grading it. I agree with earlier posters that the TPGs are more lenient with early gold. This...
A couple of weeks ago I needed a CPG, Volume 2 to check on just one coin and found out how much the paper copies were going for. But the Kindle...

Back then, I noticed the prices listed in the 2019 Redbook for the Braided Hair half cents were ridiculous and I just concluded it was some sort...
Very cool!
I completed the Braided Hair Half Cent series, 1849-1857 a couple of years ago but I have been looking for an upgrade to the 1857. Interestingly,...
Logan-McCloskey does say Obverse 1 in LM-3 comes with clash marks in the later die states but they do not say the clash is the gules and azures,...

This 1830 half dime is not unique for either it's condition or rarity. But this LM 4.1 die marriage is characterized by a rather unique clash....
While I agree wholeheartedly with your general message of tolerance, the issue is not so much with those with whom we disagree, but rather with...

Thanks. You might note how much the reverse die was lapped to extend the die life. The berries are gone and leaf detail has been degraded....

Happy to get this one. Appears to be a conditional rarity with only one graded better at PCGS.
I agree, it is a vexing social trust issue. I am hesitant at my CC meetings of 40 to 50 people to pass around a coin worth hundreds to thousands...
You cannot tell anything by comparing a 1795 dollar to a 1799 dollar. All of the diagnostics are different because of how coins were made in...
Yeah, that was my suggestion. But, after some further thought, you could do the same thing with heavy artist's paper/cardstock. I buy mine at...
