I’m just going to through this out there: This coin matches the diagnostics of die pair 3, but it looks “enhanced” with sharper letters and the...
The reverse is double-struck (look at E of ONE and T of CENT). This corresponds EXACTLY to the date area on the obverse. And there appear to be...
Can you shoot a picture of the edge? The fabric of the coin looks off. The surfaces are too smooth and the relief of the bust seems too low. The...
Not much I can add here. Genuine. AU. Probably overdipped, possibly abrasively cleaned
I’ve bought $1800 coins when I was his age. But then again I was making bank with an Aerospace Engineering job and coin dealing. Every situation...

They had an artist and a team of engravers who broke up the artist’s drawings into 2x2 inch squares and engraved portions. If you look at these...
Up to just a couple years ago. He had them for several years before that. I assume they have all been sold by now. Otherwise I might have to see...
I thought you had an account there?
For a while Bill Fivaz had at least 10 sets at $65 each. I just could not afford to swing it while he had them. Seems like passing was a very poor...
As for US coins, I have found that the most stable investments have been XF/AU pre-Barber type (and VF+ for early type) coins that are original...
