Coming back to the 1796 Dollar, my guess is it will hammer around $900-1000. However, I would not pay more than $600. Too much damage. To think...
Very true! Early Draped Bust Half dimes, specially the small eagle type are very scarce. I still don't have one in my collection. 1795, 1800,...
I remember a time, around 2010 (roughly) when the euro would buy me 1,50 dollars. It was 'buy-time' during my trips to the U.S.A. Now, it's...
I have a small collection of seated coinage, which I put together as an 'aside' to my Bust Dime Collection. I was very lucky to find many of them...

If I may ask a question not entirely unrelated to this discussion: If one asks the question "What were the first coins struck by the United...
I've been an eac collector for many years, focusing primarily on the early dates 1793-1814. In my experience, in the condition they are usually...
It would have been interesting to meet you all at FUN. However, I need to head back home and that cannot be delayed.
Thank you, @green18 , thank you @Publius2 for your opinions. Much appreciated. I think I'll just stay home and forego the show. To be honest,...
I am in Florida for a couple of weeks and would like to ask if anybody has experience with this show? It's a 140 mile drive from where I am...
