Holy Mother of Venus. Did some poking around and the price he's asking for them is not just insane. It's practically criminal. $495 for a "Choice...
They are listed as a separate line on the census. Only 140 are listed - which probably implies the rest of them are in special holders labelled as...
Sad that this went to Rick Tomaska's TV show, but the item itself is pretty dang cool:...
I think the absolute highest priority of every collector should be to learn to grade for themselves. Any serious collector needs to be confident...
The problem is, the pictures aren't really good enough for us to give a valid opinion. The obverse especially is way underlit, and both sides are...
Seems like most of the Heritage published books are softcover. I have the Amato reference on the 1796-1797 half dollars. Absolutely amazing...
Yes, a cud appears as the die ages. It will start as a break, and then evolve to a cud. Usually, the appearance of a new crack, break, or cud will...
Signed slabs are so passe. Signed coins... that's cool! GG was a fantastic sculptor. Several of her pieces are on display at a local sculpture...
Oh, sorry, not what you wanted? [ATTACH]

The 40% silver years are particularly intriguing to me, as PL's are known for several dates. PLs from 1970D are quite common, but 68D and 69D are...
Very few of the 1964 Kennedy's are known in prooflike condition, but they do exist. Here's mine in semi-prooflike, graded NGC MS-64* [ATTACH]...
That dime looks like a very high quality 64, maybe even bordering on 65. I'll say yes to the Bean on that one.
Your moving picture shows significantly more luster, but it still has the wear of a mid-VF. That's really weird..... but I like it. It does also...
Neither of those sets of pics give me any indication of what this coin might grade. The sellers pics, as johnmilton mentioned, make it look AT (if...
Ha, I had a reply all typed up last night but forgot to press "post." I agree with everyone saying 30. There is too much wear for a higher...
