My 1809 Dime has arrived I thought I would show you the 1809 dime which I was able to purchase thanks to RLM's and Abe letting me know about it....
That is a very nice Fugio Mark - quite pleasing for a first Fugio coin. You finally succumbed to Fugio fever! Those are amongs the most...
I agree with Mark's attribution: that is an S-290. Everything matches with the picture and description in the Breen book. Took another close...
Most of my collection came from Stacks and Bowers and Merena (when QDB was still leading the firm). I was largely satisfied with the coins I got,...
My opinion is F15 to VF20, and very pretty, with what appear to be smooth surfaces and nice colour from the pictures.

Frank, now that you mention it, you are right: I bought a 1795 Flowing Hair Dollar from B&M in 1987 and it turned out to have been cleaned as...
I am looking for an 1807 Capped Bust myself, but I would not buy that one for the same reasons everybody else is mentioning: the toning (or lack...
Treashunt, I hope "Darkside" is also OK? As many have pointed out, it is really difficult to chose the coins (or coins) which I like most out...

Nice coin Regandon. Which area of german numismatics do you focus on? 19. th century thalers? You seem to have quite a few of those. I used...
We bow to thee master Fletcher - those are very beautiful Fugios. (now let us see the rest of your colonial collection).
That is a nice coin with even green patina. Congratulations Randy. Your first Antoninus? now you have to go for a Faustina Senior to keep him...
