True, but at least the Saints and Peace Dollars were business strikes and would make theoretical sense in business strike sets. Not so with the...
I think that rather than relying on images, you should only consider purchasing the coin if there is a full refund, no questions asked return...
The 1964 Peace Dollars and all 1933 Saints, but one, are (currently, at least) illegal to own. If they were to be/are considered part of their...
Doug, of the four scenarios you mentioned above, the first and last say the same thing - that no business strikes were ever produced and all we...
I agree that the current color designation system has its flaws. Also, the images of bronze coins (with varying degrees of red/red-brown/brown...
"Not Proofs"? Doug, I don't understand your question/point. The only 1895 Dollars I have seen or handled (and it's been a fairly large number)...
My description ("RB", having a subdued red obverse and a brown reverse) IS calling the coin what it is. You would question a seller's ability in...
I don't see any good reason why a Proof issue should be included in a business strike set.
Would you question a seller's ability if they described the coin as "RB", having a subdued red obverse and a brown reverse, while also providing...
The language below from the PCGS website doesn't state that the RB color needs to be present on both sides. Additionally, I have seen a number of...

Perhaps because they don't know those coins as well and/or don't care as much?
A weak strike can certainly negatively impact a coin's grade. However, graders usually (or at least, should) consider the strike with respect to...
Most dealers do not "stock up" in that fashion, however, there are exceptions. Occasionally a dealer will accumulate a large group of coins of...
It looks like a lightly cleaned Fine example, and as such, should be worth approximately $300.
In my opinion, while all of them have drawbacks of one type or another, the best single source for values is the Heritage auction archives. If you...
No, it wasn't a very good price at all. Several NGC MS65 examples have sold for below $200 in auctions recently. This is just another case where...
I am neither surprised nor disappointed ;) and needless to say, it is a very nice looking coin.
Yes, it will be mandatory, which is what I indicated in my previous post. But in your first post you wrote "... coming 10/09 no Insurance Coverage...
My guess is that some of what you are seeing as nicks, are in fact mint made flaws, which are not uncommon on Walkers. If it's graded MS64 or...
