A few years ago, I attended my first PNNA show in Portland and picked up this Seated Dime for $3. [ATTACH] Now I took another look at it and...
I love coin shows. I was in the Seattle area not too long ago for a show with about 80 dealers. I had a blast, even if I didn’t buy much.
Rogue mint employee. There would have to be no collar in order for these errors to happen. Must have been the same guy who made the 1970 proof...
Another note: Even four surviving examples of the 1854-S $5 is a stroke of luck. Unlike the 1913 Liberty Head Nickels, the 1854-S $5 was just...
Absolutely true. We knew that the 5th 1913 nickel existed somewhere, its whereabouts just weren’t known. This coin was not known until now, and...

I wouldn’t dip anything below AU55. Try getting the black crud off with acetone.
That is at least a 66. Anything below is a gold bean candidate and a different animal entirely.
I’ll go 65RD on the Lincoln and 45 on the Seated. Nice dime! That’s not a date you see often.
[ATTACH] I like this 20 cent pick bin find, even if it’s not very valuable.
[ATTACH] This is my personal second favorite eagle. My favorite? [ATTACH] This design should have been kept on the seated dollar and $10 eagle.
My guess was 53 or 55.
There are over a hundred thousand double eagles on the SS Central America from what I’ve heard. They only sell for moon money because the...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Junk bins are great. Oftentimes I just pull out whatever looks interesting, including this big damaged Chinese 20 Cash. I...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] This was the only year this type was officially struck, technically making it a complete series. Is it the cheapest possible...
