Be careful NOT to buy a bust too far to the left dollar dated 1796. The Chinese have made one, and it's no good.
I have a feeling that the "outrageous price" for the silver Proof set will be more outrageous if there are more coins in it. The current policies...
This is the first major U.S. coin purchase I have made in about 5 years. The reason that I bought it is because I've been looking for a reasonably...
I’ll buy one if it’s part of the annual silver Proof set. Otherwise I have little interest.

@dwhiz, The “America’s First Medals” set was the best of these Bicentennial pieces in my opinion. The booklet that came with it is especially...
In a perfect world, a dealer would refuse to handle such an item, but having been “on the other side of the table,” I can tell you that sometimes...
