You had better watch out. He might take you up on it. Looks like it was amateur night at the Chinese American coin factory.
Congratulations on an outstanding article. I will have to spend more time to fully digest it, but it has already helped me a great deal. I just...
Here is one more token I acquired at the Lakeland Collectorama. [ATTACH]
These coins have to “float on water” to be worth the grading fees. I see little marks, so the answer is no.
I was thinking strong MS-64 or a weak MS-65. The scratches on the reverse that look like letters could be an area of concern.
Bad photos are an instant turnoff. If you are trying to sell a $2,700 coin, you need a quality camera and decent photos. Instant pass. It’s...
Who knows? We might be getting ready for a replay of the 1979-80 coin market. Prices went through the roof a "regular hobbyists" were priced out...
I would be very careful when buying the 1926 Sesquicentennial $2.50 raw. There have been counterfeits of that coin for years. If the counterfeit...
Being able to catalog coins like this quickly seems incomprehensible to me. There are so many coins covered in the areas they are demanding...
I was keeping up with the modern commemoratives for a while, but it just got to be too much. I broke the string with the 1964 Civil Rights Act...
I could find this sort of work interesting if it were with U.S. coins, tokens and medals. When I left the corporate world and because a coin...
I see way too many marks on that dollar to grade it MS-64. It looks more like an MS-62. As for the DMPL designation, that does require a personal...
I am thinking that it's a Proof that was improperly cleaned. The details on it seem to be way too sharp for a business strike. I don't think that...
Here's an example of a Mint State 1817 large cent from the Randel Hoard. These coins aren't cheap, a couple thousand dollars, but other later...
These coins are quite available in Mint State, because of a hoard. That lowers the price for the lower grades.
Counterfeit. The mint mark does not match up with what I’ve seen other 1881-S dollars. It looks like the little mint marks on the 1921-S.
When I first looked at this, the rims looked off and then I say a little chunk of metal on the mint mark that didn't look right. The whole thing...
There are some coin pedigrees that can add value, especially if the coin is among the finest known for a variety. I don't think that the Thomas...
I was buried into this 1921 Peace Dollar that is in an NGC MS-65 holder. Now I could sell it for more than I paid. I'm probably stupid to keep it,...
There is not enough gold in the world to support a gold standard unless the fixed rate is something stupid like $1 million an ounce or more....
Separate names with a comma.
