#1-2: The first coin to come out of the US mint with the inscription “DOLLAR” was either the 1793 Lettered Edge Wreath Cent or the 1793 Half Cent,...

Awesome buy! The 59, 70, 72, 73, 76, and 08-S are all good looking coins from here and probably pay for the lot a couple times over. Buying these...
Once I was at the LCS and they had several Soviet mint sets in their bargain bin for $2 or $3 each. Passed up on those and still kicking myself...
ANACS is generally seen as the "second tier" to PCGS and NGC. Where ANACS shines is variety attribution. ANACS will attribute virtually all minor...
Very attractive circulated example! Looks like PCGS/NGC G-4s usually sell for a bit over $200 when auctioned. I'd buy em like that at $100 all day...

Long time no see, CT! Decided to go to the LCS yesterday, something I can’t do very often right now with lots of essays/projects due in place of...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Just acquired this large cent today. Pretty far gone coin but I've tried to attribute it. 1798 S-169 is my best guess, but I...
The ASE is a bullion coin, made specifically as a store of silver. The prices on these PCGS coins are all manufactured based on the label - really...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] 1858 over Inverted Date half dime, bought as a regular 1858.
[ATTACH] Here’s some British .500. I can’t find any sources on what metal the other half is though. Canada also used .500 fine for a short time,...
Just getting back into coins after a long hiatus... Still know what that is as soon as I see the wide fraction!
Looks even more like a business strike now. Also the cheekbones alone say 50 is way too high of a grade.
