Each state had its own Statehood quarter design. The type set means you just collect one quarter from each state, and don't worry about which...
PS- an ultrasonic cleaner might also work. I don't know. We used to use them in the jewelry store where I once worked, but I never tried one on...
Detector find, I presume. The environmental damage to it is pretty extreme and irreversible at this point. Even if one were to remove the...
I had never heard of these.
Welcome. These coins are unlikely to be worth the considerable expense of having them graded. Keep them as-is and enjoy them in the government...

On at least one occasion (maybe two), I found an example of that first type with the US Mint building in bulk lots.
It's crazy how often fake Spanish cobs are found on beaches. How? Why? But it happens. Somebody brought me one that had been found on the...

Liberty was also a featured personification on Roman coins. Here is an As of Claudius (41-54 AD), with a Liberty (Libertas) reverse. This one...
With the third-lowest mintage in the series, the 1938-D is one of the key dates for the Walking Liberty half dollar type. This is one of the few...
I know, it's tough. Especially on CNG. I've got a bid out in the current CNG auction that I'm crossing my fingers on. So far I'm still on top...
Saw it, thanks. It’s priced a bit beyond my desired range, and I’m rather lukewarm on that one anyway. If I were to spend more than $3,500 on a...
