I'll start off with why so many cents have holes in them. Back in the days around the War of Northern Aggression (Yes, I'm from the South),...
This is one which I got shortly after quitting collecting and disposing of about 200 Large Cents. Some things are difficult to let go of....
I have coin envy. That is a really nice one with chocolate surfaces. Additional rarity from the Heritage Archives: 9/11/97 VG10/net VG8 R5 $1265...

It has fallen from High R6 in Penny Whimsy to R5+ in Breen's Encyclopedia. My old copy of Robinson's listed it at 6+. I'd check for an error in...

think I've discovered what would be a Sheldon 1794 12H. This brings up an interesting situation since Breen considered Sheldons 11 and 12 to be...
Slabbers really do poorly at attribution though. DO NOT TRUST their attribution for variety. Genuineness and grade are OK. And I'm not just...
I wonder what a coin given upon OCS graduation is called if it's a collectable? I was honored to give my son a 1893-0 Morgan to use as a...
I'm about to turn 58 and have been collecting 50 years. Like many, I have gone through buy and sell phases with various emphasis on particular...
