This campaign medal is neat with the Zeppelin on it. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
And yet, it's only #8. The coins are easy to find in high grade. All it takes is money.
Both of these coins are in MS-64 holders. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] The reverse of the Washington - Carver piece once stated...
Wow! That must go WAY BACK. I never saw any "old commemoratives" in circulation! I finished the 50 piece type set many years ago. The grades...
Yes, but barely. This is not my thing, but I’ve read selling copy with words like “fully rounded,” and the horizontal line on this coin is far...
These coins are very prone to marks on the portraits. The thing I don’t care for on the Washington - Carver piece is the marks above the United...
When I was a dealer, the collectors who gave me the blow back on small coins, were not old at all. Since my earliest days of interacting with...
Yes, it’s my understanding that there are many of these owl coins available. News hoards seem to popping up regularly. The one you posted has a...

Here is the coin that got the Liberty Seated design started, the 1836 Gobrecht Dollar with the original coin rotation of the dies. [ATTACH]...
No tongue-in-cheek at all. I hated the looks of that coin, and it would have brought no premium on any site. Here is a bad Proof coin I did send...

The big disappointment for me with the mint, besides the rising prices, is the poor quality. I’m not saying that everything should be PR or MS-70,...
Here are some Sanitary Fair Civil War tokens. The Sanitary Commission was a private group which raised funds to pay for medical and cleaning...
