Eight coins? Get with it man! Since I inherited a four generations long fairly complete US collection when I was pretty young, I gravitated...
I knew you were going to bust me, sorry I should have asked your permission first.
Hard not to love that one.
I agree, but the 1804 is no different. You could also put the 1884 and 1885 Trade dollars and nearly all proof half cents in the same category,...
Proof coins do not show cartwheel luster. But as an exercise in grading, I routinely grade all of my pocket change before putting it in my change...
for a mere $1.25M this little PR-65 beauty could be yours. Although you would be overpaying by about half a million. [ATTACH][ATTACH] Minted...

The graders are paid very well, yet many don't last very long because it is such a demanding job. Some would equate it to a sweatshop, and if you...
I'm sure that it won't be the last time that I loose in a deal, but I can cross that seller/grading service off of my list of dealers. At least...
After thinking about it for a while, I agree with you Mike. That is why I decided to keep it. It is nicer than the one my son has anyway and it...
