This 1892 Columbian Half Dollar is only graded MS-63. The dealer who had it tried a couple of times to get a higher grade. This was about 30 years...
I liked this short set because all of the coins in it are really Mint State. All of the rest of Mercury Dimes are the 1936 to 1942 Proofs....
It had become "Orange Hoody Time" when I got to it. If it was the piece that @Mountain Man man posted, it looks like some fake Chinese toning that...

Today our national political conventions are really dull affairs unless you are a complete political junkie. The presidential nominee is selected...
That the best Feuchwanger Cent I have ever seen! Congratulations!
I would be more inclined to say that Christian Gobrecht designed the large cents from the late 1837s. The general concept was still there, but the...
Here are three more of my favorite Civil War tokens. This one that was issued in Chicago does not look like much but it is interesting. This...
The Phillies were the "poverty team" in Philadelphia in the 1920s to circa 1938. They played in a rickety dump, which was called “The Baker Bowl.”...
Good. I won't bother to answer next time.
