It does look like a British Trade Dollar and I think your explanation makes the most sense. More people are going with die polish but those seem...
Nice set; congrats!
The time you see isn't always to the second of the actual. See this thread and I'll quote the relevant response:...
Nice group!
I believe as @-jeffB mentioned that the 1999 set is not sealed-meaning it can be easily opened and reclosed. So the coin doctors just take the...
Congrats on the good timing (selling and buying)! The 1999 set is one of the more extreme US Mint price decrease examples, but it tends to be the...
It's a cool idea; congrats on picking one up!

Congrats! There are three Latvian Niobium coins of time (parts 1,2, and 3): 2004, 2007, and 2010. The 2004 is the key date (and most expensive)....
I picked the NGC. I know it has the nick through the steps but the raw has a nick through the cheek which catches my eye more (partially because I...
It's odd since the grading all happened in a short span. There must be enough different people seeing it to cause the variance as I agree that a...
While most of what you say is fair, we do need to mention that this coin has been in at least every grade from MS 66 to MS 67+...it was graded...
I second this suggestion!
I was thinking the same thing. This isn't a coin that looks to be worth grading. It will cost less to buy an already certified common date Morgan...
That reminds me of Half Price Books. Whenever I went there I'd take a look at the coin book section. There would be some folders but just like in...
Barnes & Noble, Books a Million, and Hobby Lobby are all places where I've seen coins supplies before. Like @furryfrog02 the Books a Million...
