After reading "Numismatic Forgery" by Charles Larson and hearing about more and more examples of forgeries of extremely valuable coins getting...
TOUCHDOWN!!!!!
I forgot to mention @DallasCoinsNThings that it was purchased as a "head of 1794."
Fantastic! Thank you for the responses! All of my numismatic reading over the years has emphasized leaving a coin alone unless some drastic...
I recently acquired this 1794 Large Cent which, yes, has been cleaned, compromised and has probably been through some historic trials and...
1794 Large Cent - probably G5 - G6, but good enough for me (pun maybe intended?) - it was very likely cleaned at some point and my favorite part,...
1858-O 50¢ graded XF45 by PCGS. From the era of James Buchanan - not too far from Lincoln and the Civil War... this thing has seen some turbulent...
Pickups from a local show today - my first in quite a while. 1872 Half Dime graded AU58 by PCGS [IMG] [IMG] And then why not throw in a few...
The direction of text on Japanese coins changed in 1948, right to left became left to right, so it's easy to get confused because flipping the...
What years are the notes? Smaller sized silver certificates were printed from 1928 to 1964. This site talks about these "experimental" small...

1875-S 20¢ graded XF40 by PCGS - one of my favorite funky denominations. It's a close tie with the equally funky ½¢. [IMG] [IMG]
Yes, Kooks are my favorite bullion coins, and one of my favorite birds. A while back I bought the entire series of 1oz back to 1990. [MEDIA]
For the Japanese coin, the date appears on the reverse bottom, underneath the "1," with the characters 昭和三十二年, read left to right and pronounced...
I like Susies, despite all of the criticism they receive (much of which seems to come from people not finding SBA "pretty" enough). They were...
I wasn't familiar with the special NGC Stacks slabs until I saw the half cent, so that was more than I knew about them. I bought the coin, not the...
1806 Half Cent graded VF 30 BN by NGC and marked as from Stack's W 57th St Collection - the reverse of the slab has some decent scratches on it,...
Yes, this is a gorgeous coin from now war-torn Yemen. I have almost purchased it myself a few times. And yes, the side without the dates is shown...
