Just got this in a mixed lot and can't seem to identify it. It looks to be 1775 and has a reverse crest similar to a Virginia halfpenny but the...
He's my son (9) and the primary collector of coins. I'm just the money behind the operation.
My secret santa arrived a couple days ago and I fought the good fight for a while but then gave in. Here are the nicely wrapped pieces. I'll post...
You are right about the die crack. I checked for VAMs and couldn't identify it.
The previously posted PCI Peace Dollar checked in at MS63. Here's a second one for your consideration. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
So here you go: MS63 I think it is a generous grade due to all the contact marks on the obverse and a couple big ones on the reverse. I have...
Definitely not cleaned. The plastic was tough to photo through.
Thought I'd post a quick little guess the grade thread. Here's a 1927 Peace Dollar I recently acquired. It's a non-major grading service (not NGC...

I intend to give them a quick dip to remove the rust but my eZest has disappeared. I'll update images when it is found.
I went ahead and separated the coins from their "mountings". I first separated them into discernable dates and non-discernable dates. Then I...
My thoughts exactly. The hay is in the barn as they say. I'll give them a dip and see what happens.
It killed me to see the damage as well. I think these, especially the type 3 large star two lines, are some of the most beautiful US coins.
My parents recently purchased a new house and upon moving in they found a small box containing a silver thrime strand. They passed it along to me...
These two were part of a collection I recently purchased. They aren't going to win any beauty contests but they are quite rare nevertheless....
Yeah, I scored a whole batch of Morgans most of which are cleaned but I paid $15 a pop for them so not a bad deal in the end.
Here's a clever little variety I picked up today as part of a larger collection of US silver. By my amateur assessment, it appears to be the VAM-6...
