I see some slight machine doubling, but don't see a doubled die.
MS-63 for vam, a total guess 1v
2009 was at the high side of the market; making money on coins purchased then would be really tough today. Anyway, if I were collecting fir...
Welcome to CT Kieth. I'm sorry to say, but don't get your hopes up, we must get two or three claims of silver pennies (cents) a week. They...
Here is a genuine one for comparison. There are some items that seem a bit out of place, but I don't know anything about die variations of this...
These are commonly known as pillar dollars, but I'm afraid that yours is a cast counterfeit. I don't know the origin of the counterfeits, but I've...
Nice score on a random date coin, though I can't tell if it's an AU or a pretty high grade MS from the images.

I understand the argument about the ugly obverse design, but the chain reverse has always confused me. Surely the symbolism of several links...
Pleasure was all mine Oded. Glad you had a good time, but I completely forgot to give you that bag of Mardi Gras doubloons that I had for you.
I'm with you, but a lovely toned MS-64 1795 flowing hair dollar is usually worth a look even if the price was stupid. Once they were there, they...
