It’s interesting, but not on my list. The only place for me win would have these would be at auction. I don’t have good luck in auctions. So no,...
And then you get into the issue of people mixing up the coins with similar sizes and getting “cheated” as a result. I heard the grumbling when the...
If you want to know the value of that coin, you need to grade and then net grade it. The sharpness grade falls in the Ch VF to EF-40 range. The...
The public has had a long tradition of preferring paper to coins. I can’t see $5, $10 and $20 coins getting a lot of use. In addition, each...
Add to that the No Stars half dime and dime which were “baby Gobrecht Dollars.”
Charles I was beheaded, but his son, Charles II knew how to avoid such problems. He didn’t tangle with Parliament and enjoyed to prestige of...
Why would we bring back the half dime? It was too small to be practical when it was issued from 1795 to 1873. A cent is worth nothing. A half...

There are two varieties. One variety never comes with a fully struck reverse. Yes, world coins are a bargain when you consider the rarity, but...

I have spent a good deal of time collecting the coins of King George III of England. He ruled during a turbulent time, both for England, Europe...
I regret that I got caught up in the auction fever and paid too much, but I don't regret the coin. It's an 1855-D gold dollar with a mintage of...
If you want a deluxe set of these, the Proof coins are hard to beat. They also not very expensive and are made of sold bronze, not the copper...
I had the most trouble with Vitellius on that score. I paid a premium for this one. [ATTACH]
I was there years ago. Yes, it is well worth the visit, especially if you are a coin collector. They wouldn't let me take pictures of the coins...
Julius Caesar portrait coins are very hard and expensive. I buy nice coins. I don't buy really ugly problem pieces. I took a certified Julius...
Even if it is a doubled die, if you need pictures that blown up to see it, it's not worth anything.
The annual Proof set will be pretty dull without the JFK half dollar. It’s my favorite coin in the set.
