There are some 1882 Liberty Head "V" nickel patterns that exist. And I believe there are even some 1881-dated ones as well. So I would have to go...
Traditionally, fantasy-date over-strikes comprise about 25% of my minting. The other 75% is either completely original work, or a partial...
The "CC" mint mark is in the wrong place and is the wrong shape for a genuine 1879-CC. The fields have a curvature when approaching the devices,...
If you are asking me, then my opinion would be that all four of the 1910 Indian $10 gold coins shown are genuine. But that could change based on...
These pictures are too small to really tell. But none of them appear to be bad.
You are probably familiar with the phenomenon where one person tells a story and then the story is relayed several times, and when it gets back to...
My other die pair is almost ready. So the first (cracked) dies may only be used for another two weeks or less.
No problem. Once in a while there is one on eBay (but none right now). The last one sold for $250.
The original 1964-D Peace Dollars were actually struck and destroyed in May of 1965. Due to the shortage of coinage, the US Mint was producing 90%...
Thank you. I may do some gold coin over-strikes at some point. I have actually done one already. That was a fantasy "1861 Confederate Double...
Actually, I did produce 278 over-strike "1964-D" Franklin Half Dollars that were released. All of those were over-struck on genuine 1948-1963...
Credible reports from persons who were present at the time indicate that some 1933 Double Eagles did reach the cashier and so some of those could...
I sent two separate letters a few months apart, with tracking, to the FTC. One via Express Mail marked "urgent". I have the tracking that shows...
You are perhaps unaware of a key part of the story. The later 1970s reports of a few more 1964 dollars being destroyed do NOT contradict the...
It is one thing to find or receive in change an odd coin and "think" (actually more like "hope") the thing is valuable. These laypeople that are...
My over-strikes are genuine US Mint coins that have been re-faced to have the same design they had originally (except for one or two date digits)....
In the case of the "1964-D" Peace Dollar over-strikes, I am using a date which was never issued for that type. And, like I've pointed out, the...
The case cited earlier in this thread was about producing, marketing, and selling an entirely new piece, struck on virgin blanks. The references I...
Well, mine are not over-struck on re-melted 90% silver planchets - they are over-struck directly on original coins that are not melted or heated....
Sales have tapered off considerably. This is the usual pattern. I come out with something new and it sells pretty fast at first, then tapers off....
