There's one in the Heritage auction at Orlando FUN... http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1136&Lot_No=2433 Currently, there's...
It depends on how serious you want to get about cherrypickin'. For starters, Bill Fivaz's books are good. However, since they have such a broad...
The problem with that is ya gotta eat at Taco Bell, which is known to produce natural side effects. Objectionable. :eek: :vanish: :whistle:
Hey everybody ! Here are the latest goodies on my e-bay store. Enjoy ! http://stores.ebay.com/900fine-Rare-Coins Colonial 1787 Connecticut W4250...
Don't. Don't think in those terms. I used to do that with NTC and NNC slabs, and it simply doesn't work. You'll hear it 1,000,000 times - learn...
Yes. Yes, they are. All the finest things are 900 fine. :goofer: :rolleyes:
For those who like olde silver, Dick Osburn is a great guy to know. Great coins, square dealer. Seated Liberty and before. Interesting fellow - he...
Personally, I like coin easels - available all over E-Bay. They're cool because I can arrange coins anyway I want, by any theme I want.
That's about what I expected. BTW... copperflopper's advice is rock-solid. Better to have a problem-free coin with less detail than a corroded...
To back up Lehigh's assertion that proof is a method of manufacture, not a statement of condition, check out this Proof 20 in the upcoming Orlando...

Yes, that's a very reasonable concern. It's very true in many areas of numismatics. However... Early American copper is unique. Many specimens...
I understand your concern. In the sense that "gem" commonly means MS65 or better, than yes it's silly. However... ...taken in the context of...
Important to note there are some really solid people on E-Bay, including a few serious copperheads of strong repute. I have not seen the auction...
The seller states "Sheldon 266 die state B, the rarest of the die states for the variety."; that is true. It is R.5 according to CQR. He also...
I strongly recommend purchasing Breen's "Encyclopedia of Early US Cents 1793 - 1814" before getting involved with coins like this. I urge the...
Sure, I'll try... Not all 1804s have the prominent reverse cud mentioned above. In fact, the obverse cud rim break on RTY appears earlier (die...
MS70 or not ? No way to tell from that picture. IMO, at the 70 level, a coin must be examined in hand. I suppose that's always true, but...
