Well, my U.S. collection ballooned this week from 0 to 2. Here's a pic of the 1885 Morgan which my Dad surprised me with: [ATTACH] The...
I come from a background of ancient coins. I've been collecting them from 30 years, and all my knowledge revolves around ancients. I could tell...
I plopped my desired coin (Morgan dollar) into the basket, went to checkout, and aughh, Priority mail. Long story short, Priority is guaranteed to...
In my quest to find one Morgan dollar, I was trawling the vcoins' listings. I never heard of SEGS, but the particular one I was looking at was...
