Yea, but the TPGs should not be calling AUs MS-63. They should be no higher than MS-61 or 62.
I can never remember ever getting a JFK half in circulation. I have seen many of them in family hoards when people asked me in to buy coins. I...
Really? When I order from Europe, it has usually been in desperation for an old English coin I can't find here. The exchange rates, shipping and...
I am starting a raw short set of Walkers for a collection I'm building of World War II coins. I've only get three so far. I'm a little surprised...
They used to be cheap. I remember I bought one at a Hacketstown, New Jersey Coin Club show for $1 in the mid 1970s. That was probably too much.
Yesterday I created a thread about the Capped Bust, Lettered Edge Half Dollar. Today I'll cover the quarter. [ATTACH] This coin was also...
It was a decent looking coin. The problem was I paid MS-63 money for it. Therefore it was a “bad buy.”
[ATTACH] I bought this 1824 Capped Bust Half Dollar at a coin show last year. It is NGC graded MS-64+. I didn't go to the show with the intent...
These coins were stuck on copper-nickel which is really hard. It held up well in circulation. This coin looks like it's had a hard life to me. The...
Here are couple of Trade Dollar in Mint State and then Proof. This one is an MS-63. [ATTACH] This is a Proof-64. [ATTACH] Heritage did a...

My mother-in-law put together a made for circulation in Littleton Albums, Philadelphia and Denver Mint, State Quarter collection, which I...
The coin is nice, but it's not the same as a normal classic St. $20 gold. It has the diameter of a $10 gold, but is twice as thick. This one is...
1797 ... One of my favorite years. That year the mint experimented with having the number stars on the obverse equal the number states in the...
Here's my "End of Pain" medalet. I have one because it's listed in DeWitt / Sullivan. [ATTACH] Thomas Paine is big American hero because he...
This is not a coin; it's a "medalet." This piece was issued to make a martyr of John Brown after he was hung for treason. This piece is usually...
Here's the nudge. This 1800 half dime is graded MS-64. It's the highest grade early U.S. coin I have. It came from Sarasota Rare Coin. They often...
That variety, Cohen 8, always has a "bar" that runs from the "R" in "AMERICA" to the rim. It's an instant diagnostic for the variety. It's almost...
The URS scale was supposed to be easy to remember because you stated out with number 1 and then doubled it for the high number estimate each time...
Here is a very late die state of the 1801 half dime. This piece is under graded as an EF-45. The TPG are going by the missing design details,...
