Stop telling others what you’re interested in, and they’ll stop bidding against you . . . Yes, kidding.
Spoke with another dealer today who deals in errors almost exclusively, and he concurred that this appears to be struck on a planchet which...
Passed the word along, thank you. Mike
A friend just offered me a 2009A bookend $100 FRN S/N LF 56528565 E. I politely declined, as they’re not my bailiwick, but told him I’d mention...
F15, and a nice coin.
It really bugs me that AGE & ASE carry premiums higher than scarcer numi-coinage. All I can think of is that sellers know they can charge it...
I share your concerns for that dealer, but also for most others. As such incidents become seemingly commonplace, I myself am considering...
You can read about this at Suspects follow dealer home from show. Be vigilant folks . . . the bad guys are getting bolder and are going to...

I've learned my grandson is taking an interest. I think disclosing my level of involvement in the hobby would be counterproductive at this...
If the bank closes, it will notify box holders to make appointments to empty their boxes (and, presumably, receive pro-rated refunds for unused...
Thanks for the reverse photo. Someone tried to make a normal cent look like it was double struck.
This coin looks like it was double struck in collar, rotated roughly 30 degrees between strikes. Would you please add a good photo of the reverse...
Yup, and a neat one.
Acetone should loosen the crud, and not remove the orange color. If you immerse it in a jewelry cleaner, it will remove the orange color, and...
Separate names with a comma.
