While not being able to afford anything like Mr. Murphy's incredible triples, I've always had an interest in the English Civil War. Also I like...
Nice Ptolemy AE. I have one of these also, mine's 98 g bought from a Tom Cederlind auction....
EBay is good for some things. Geotrax train tracks for kids as parents sell used toys there. I even bought a NGC MS-65 McArthur (Philippines)...
Wow that is a really nice 58 Classic Head half cent! Around 1992 I mailed ordered 2 half cents from a prominent mail order dealer. Both were...
It does seem that common Flying Eagle cents have increased in value in MS. A common date: 1858 in MS 64 sells for around $1,500 today....
Hey I guessed it at 65! This is due to my attempt a year or more ago to buy a nice unc 1921 Peace dollar. I looked at many pictures of slabbed...
I'd tend to agree with micbraun. I've seen a couple Youtube coin videos and while they looked nice, it's pretty much one person's option which is...
Very nice Peru Libre crown Eduardo. Did you get both the original version and the Spanish overstrike? I've been looking for one of these for a...
Had I known the pop of 66's was so low for the Bust Dimes I would've stayed at 65+. NGC is very variable on grading of foreign. Just got in a...
I can't edit my comment but in restrospect I'm going to push my estimate above my previous one. MS-66 or possibly nicer. This is really getting...
Very nice also. I don't have the experience grading these things in higher ms numbers tho I'd have to agree at ms-65 at least.
Of course a collector was offering on it. Who wouldn't want that kind of coin? Only the '36 & '37 Buffalo proofs were made and 67 is the grade...
When I was a very young collector a coin dealer sent me a contemporary counterfeit Bust Half as a genuine coin from an ad probably run in Coin...
The advice given me in 1992 was to take it to a small town coin store and dump it. Back then gold was probably around $800/ oz. Glad I didn't do...
I should point out that also I've been shopping around for a nice Liberty $20 in part because my Aunt who used to run a Polish Kielbasa shop got a...
Around 1982 I bought a US 1909-P $10 Indian at a semi-big coin show in New Jersey. About 10 years later I was buying type coins for my US...
You photoshopped that slab to change the MS-65 to a MS63! No dealer would let something like that go in a 63 slab these days. 63's were usually...
Well this is exciting news. Somehow it seems that every US coin type [outside of foreign] that I look at is trending higher. Other than...
It may be a little hard to buy a nice ms-65 Lib for a decent price. What happens in US coins is that whenever a decently appearing coin comes out...
Thats a typical striking issue caused by the hi relief of the 1921's. That's why they lowered the relief for 1922 and subsequent years.
