I went to the show on Friday. I had a lot fun and found coins for a couple more Roman emperors, Quintillus and Theodosus I. The dealers told me...
Yes, the 40% silver Proof quarters were only issued with that set.
Actually it was in 1858, but the coins were sold in sets according to their composition. The base metal, silver and gold coins were sold in...
It looks like something that would be included in a educational set of some kind. It would not fool anyone who knows anything about the real coins...
Yes, the Whitman reference is really outstanding. I would highly recommend it. It's the best book on the subject since Crosby, which was published...
Nice set! I did this a few years ago with a 1913 Proof set. It has both Buffalo Nickels.
Perhaps they are, but it's a lot fairer.
I guess if you really want a lot offered on eBay, you bid $10,000 for an item that is worth $2,500 and hope for the best. I'll pass. I actually...
So long as it’s made of gold, the first item does not matter. Even if the coins are genuine, they have been wrecked so badly by jewelry use that...

On two occasions, I have been the high bidder when the clock ran down to zero. Then the lot is awarded to another bidder for more money with no...
It's great that you stayed with the hobby after you were cheated. To me, counterfeits are the worst of all. At least if you have something that is...
I enjoy the history and politics that surrounded the Morgan Dollar more than trying to collect the set. I started a date set a couple of times and...
I don't own it any longer. I sold it when I was a dealer to another dealer. Here's the one in my set now. You can like it or dislike it because it...
A few years ago a dealer had a gold dollar that both of us thought was a Proof. PCGS had graded it as an MS-65. The coin had my interest, but his...
It does not appear to have been damaged from a cleaning, but you can never be sure. I bought this piece many years, and later had it kicked back...
There is only one known die pair for the 1807 half cent. It is fairly common although the early die state, which shows dentils, is considered to...
Buying raw Trade Dollars is dangerous because of the counterfeit problem. The pictures provided here are not good enough to pass judgement on this...
