That statement is completely unbased when looking at survival rates. There are more uncirculated 1857 S double eagles than uncirculated 1889 CC...
You can turn that off, you know.
Looks fake to me. Good advice is to stay FAR FAR FAR away from Chinese silver dollars. The vast majority are fake.
I had the chance to buy a raw MS PL Columbian half for $30. I passed for some unknown reason. Still kicking myself over that. I was at another...

That’s what I would do as a seller. Too many crooked buyers who think a refund means keeping the coin. How would the dealer know that the buyer...
The position, angles, and sizes of all of the scratches is exactly the same. That sounds exact to me. They look different because there was a...
That is one of the first things I noticed. But the “cracks” on the eBay coin just look like voids of metal why the OP’s coin seems to have actual...
