Nice 1853 No Arrows @messydesk. There were only 95,000 of these minted before they switched the dies over to the With Arrows variety of 1853. I...
I have certainly noticed a strong bidding trend at Heritage, GC and the one eBay vendor I bid at. I have not yet joined the Bidiot ranks but the...
I won a 1796 Draped Bust dollar in Heritage's auction of Jan.22 so I sent in my personal check on Jan 25th. Transit was Florida to Texas, so no...
I agree wholeheartedly with @Paddy54 's sentiment. We can disagree and debate without it becoming rancorous. I for one appreciate spirited...
