The obverse has a lot of die rust. New Orleans is a hot and humid place, and if the die was not properly stored, it will rust, which will leave...
It's hard to grade this from these photos, but I believe that it has been polished. If you own it that's okay. If you are thinking about buying...
The fact that low grade double eagles can sell for less than when there is a perception that the gold price is about to come down tells me that...
I see two marks on the face that could lower the grade if you were unlucky. The “Cameo” designation can also be fickle. I have seen pieces that...
How exciting for the government! Perhaps they can apply that $240 toward fixing the nation debt.
I am amazed the Burdette says that there are only 3.7 million St. Gaudens $20 gold coin accounted for. It seems like the number should higher,...
Ah shucks! I was interested in that one. :hungover: It makes wonder when die work is that bad why they even bother.
The 1799 large cent is a coin you never buy raw unless you are an expert who can examine it in person. Certification is mandatory for most...
The lines on the Peace Dollar are Post mint damage. They may have come from sliding it in or out of a holder. It’s too bad; they could have been...
Proof-64, but I would not be a buyer. It’s been dipped with some album toning returning. If the toning doesn’t stop in the holder, it could be a...
I don’t see hairlines, and does not look like dipped out “white gold” to me, so I would not be concerned about it.

You can find this date with Eagle’s breast feathers poorly struck, and less often, well struck. I think that the well struck pieces should worth...
This one was not like that. It was more run together and the markings were not letters. They made no sense. It was also a large bust design, not...
It looked like the one on the top, but the “lettering” was much smaller and not readable.
Sorry, bu I don’t have pictures. Last Saturday my local dealer asked me to look at a Higley Copper a women had brought to his shop. I determined...
All I see is luster and a few marks. They are all probably Mint State or close to it. The trouble is no collectors are interested. The...
I had a complete set of these coins at one time in grades ranging from AU to one in Gem Unc. The 1947 varieties and the especially the 1948 Dollar...
The voyager dollars are quite attractive, but don’t expect to get one as nice as the one the seller is showing in their ad. Like Morgan and Peace...
Believe it or not, there is stuff called museum glue that is used to hold coins together. I have most often seen it used for English pennies of...
Separate names with a comma.
