This one gas me stumped. I believe the obverse is 1800 18 only used on the S-212. There are indications that the crumbling below 00 could be a...
I wonder what I said that needed censorship?

I have a request for the numismatists here. I just purchased another S-195 and was looking closely at the reverse. Is there anything you can see...
Maybe some sellers are spooked. I just picked this one up today when the owner accepted my offer. [ATTACH] This may not be as rare as supposed,...
Here they are dressed up: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] The last one was a cherry picked dateless find.
That's like my father. He collected, but only what he found in circulation. I went way beyond that. I still remember Virg Marshall's adds for...

One advantage of buying a problem coin is that they will not turn bad after you get them. But you have to receive the appropriate price discount....
Die Break through STAT on the 1799. The gold Charlotte Mint coin looks like one I sold several years ago when I thought Gold wouldn't go higher...
While I do not know silver well, I suspect a DIP strong enough to remove the tarnish will also remove the luster and prevent it from receiving...
