@ddddd, there was also another presidential election that was thrown into the House of Representatives after the 1824 election. There Henry Clay...
I received my two purchases from the DeWitt political sale today. I was hoping to buy more, but the prices were so strong, I simply could not...
Here are my two Probus pieces. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Silvered Antoninianus of Probus, Obverse: IMP C M AVR PROBVS AVR, “Emperor caesar Marcus...
There are no “black beauties” among nickels. They are called corroded. There can be “blue beauties,” but for me it’s a narrow qualification. Full...
It may have been left in an acid soak for too long. The dealers used to call it “fried.”
Usually there is a big difference between MS-64 and 65. If you ignore that and pay prices based on PCGS numbers, you can be in the hole big time....
All I will tell you that based upon my 60+ years of buying and selling, buying traps is not a fun way to collect. Dealers have also sorts of sales...

Here is a Mint State 1921-D dollar. "D" stands for the Denver Mint. It's not nice enough to spend the money on grading it. If I did have it...

Are you sure you aren't talking about the 1969 cents. The 1968 cents were the last use of the original Brenner artwork, and Lincoln was little...
Store them in inert materials in a climate controlled environment and pray. I don't like red copper and usually avoid buying it. I remember many...
I was going though my rather long list of modern commemorative silver dollars to see about selling them. Looking at the Grey Sheet, it looks like...
All of those coins are beyond help. Sorry. The 1943 steel cent is common, even in the higher grades. Slabbed ones bring, I don't know $50(?)...
No, coin doctors usually do not bother with rim problems that severe. A coin repair guy would charge too much, and the results would not be worth...
Here is an exhibit of Dahlonega Mint coins I put together a few years ago. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
It makes sense if you really like the Carson City Mint. I'm neutral about it. I did take a great interest in the Dahlonega and Charlotte Mints...
That coin with that kind of damage needs a tailwind to make $50.
