You bet ! I love 'em. Post up pics ! We'll attribute. Congrats on your cool new horizon !
Yep ! Total boycott on raw Cali Fractionals on E-Bay. Two things make these really, really dangerous : Genuine specimens are crudely made, so...
I gots good news, and I gots bad news. Yes, I know a great book : "California Pioneer Fractional Gold: Historic Gold Rush Small Change 1852-1856...
By 1857, there was no more need for fractional gold, thanks to the exploits of the new San Francisco mint - established 1854. For that reason,...
I'm glad you brought up this topic. Thanks ! I suppose there are many reasons people procrastinate on things. Fear and discomfort are top...
And taking a wild guess at survival rate of 3%, no more than 2,000 are around today.
Quite a milestone ! Congrats. :thumb: Yep, looks like a great flan.

Here's my speech : "It's my money. I earned it, and I'll spend it as I please."
There were no women in my Boy Scout troop (ca 1970+). It's one thing for Mommie to be there with 9 year old Cub Scouts boys, another thing...
[/FONT] The quote "teaching your men how to survive in very cold weather" is sexist. I think it is very odd there is a female on the coin. As...
Agreed... that's why those who collect a single series by date think differently from type collectors. For most of us working a complete type set,...
Tough call; overall, I like the 23-S better. I love that champagne-gold color in Buffalos. That was the tie breaker for me. On both coins, it...
As a rule, there are no series in which VF coins consistently look better than MS coins. There are some cases in which the very best VF35...
In addition, the coin has been polished.
No. There are many cases of a die marriage lasting for a while, then one die being matched up with a different mate, then being reunited again...
