When I was in my teens and twenties, I dreamed of landing a big, high paying job that would allow me to afford to live in the city. The closet I...
I had a crack on this piece, but I stupidly listened to someone who told it was too expensive. It was not cheap, but I had the money. Since then I...
If you are Hanson, money is not a problem.
No, I think he thought that the coin was an "impossible rarity" that would never become available or would takes to locate. It isn't. Like most...
In the old days … EF 45 … I don’t see the luster Now AU 50 or 55
The coin is very attractive, but the trouble with True View images is that they are like the yearbook photos you got in high school. All of the...

I received the coin today, and it is a nice example. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I have been studying my 1921 Peace Dollar in recent days. I bought this...
The “WE” is the high part of the design and wears off first. Some pieces are weakly struck which makes the “WE” weaker from the beginning. I have...
Adding to the other points, this piece should not be weak in the shield area. By this time, the Philadelphia Mint was banging out sharp examples...
