I wasn't aware of this one. An "inverted overdate" set (including individual digit punches) would be pretty cool, although I can't imaging it...
I have this one in VF or XF. Definitely cool and one of the only half dimes in my collection.
No. In addition to the contact marks cited, the spot on the E in ONE is a big negative on that coin that would either limit the grade to 62 or...
Tough question, and one I might answer differently on any given day. If I restrict myself to everything but Morgan dollars, there are still a lot...
No. The bourse was crowded and busy on Saturday.
The crowd at FUN makes me hopeful that this is the case.
I recommend you purchase a copy of the 2020 Red Book, which has lots of information about all US coin types, including talk about what a proof...
I like the 1928. Lustrous, no cuts across the rays, no bad punch in the nose, well struck, only light and scattered marks.
He probably had little to no currency, being an indentured servant. If you wanted a farthing from that period, they were not dated, so you'll...
This, but the supply of coinage wasn't terribly reliable, as there was no coinage made in the colonies at that time. From coins.nd.edu: The...
I don't know that it was PVC causing those pits. Usually that causes stains that buffing the crap out of it would remove.
You don't want to do this, then you can be accused of selling counterfeits. Best case, offsetting penalties, replay the down. A copy of the...
One of Mark Feld's rules (more or less): Buy what you like, but be aware that future buyers may not like what you like. While today's general...
I got to play with a silver Libertas Americana that Tony Terranova bought at the Heritage auction. Very cool medal that may find its way into a...
I specialize in Morgans, and I was not exactly correct on the two that were genuine. I graded the 68 as a 67 and the 61 as a 62, whereas my job...
Well, that's more of a business model than a hobby. Not always a good one, either. There's someone who used to take a table (or part of one) at...
Actually, you should hope to become capable of playing the crack-out game. Not with this coin, but if you are able to spot a coin that is...
I'm trying to figure out what this really illustrates. If you were to put 1924-D on the graph, I imagine it would spike even higher than the...
Everyone got to look at the actual coins in hand. Everyone had a 10-minute slot in which to grade the 15 coins. You had to either make an...
Yes. I used either no magnification or pulled out my 10x loupe when I wanted to see something specific (e.g., inspect the added mint mark).
