I voted 66 not FS. If it was in a PCGS holder, I might have said 65 or 65+. Chatter on the jawbone and chatter on the columns. And I'm not...
I'd have to agree. Even with a Chinese Wall, I doubt there would be much credibility with collectors. We'll see how it goes. Frankly, I can't...
I almost didn't renew my ANA membership since the journal doesn't usually have much that interests me but I'm glad I did since the latest issue...
Cool! Pretty dramatic doubling.
Certainly not the sole factor but an important one is the extremely strong dollar which tends to depress PM prices all other factors being equal,...
Neither one suits my taste but since you like them, let's go with that. When faced with an impossible choice, do the opposite of King Solomon who...
45 but a TPG grade of 53 wouldn't surprise me which is how I voted. It's a weak strike which accounts for most of the appearance of the...

I have several of the 1884-CC in the original boxes with COAs that I inherited from my father. They will never leave their original packaging as...
@Vertigo, you called? I've been in Augusta, GA for the last week; Family; Friends; Golf; Rich Food & Drink. Six rounds in six days - the old...
65 for sure. I wouldn't say 66 without seeing it in hand. The toning looks nice in the photos but the obverse is dark, not terminal but...
The trade dollar was intended, not to replace the Liberty Seated Dollar, but to serve another purpose entirely. The Far East Trade was dominated...
Well, Randy, I'll go way out on a limb and venture it's not menopause. But, it's not uncommon for interest to wane after goal (s) have been...
I was at breakfast this morning at my local diner when one of the fellows produced the following countermarked 1866 half dollar that he said had...
Congrats! That's one that's on my list, too.
