I don't really know much about anything ancient, so of course I consulted the great oracle. My Google-fu produced this interesting article, which...
I have no idea what the coin looks like in hand. If you think there's something good down there, send it in.... The pictures make it look like...
Grading proofs from pictures is an exercise in futility. So, I will not attempt it, but I'll say those appear to be very attractive pieces.
If you compare the actual number of coins minted, you'll see that the VDB has a considerably smaller mintage. There are thousands and thousands of...
If you are a competent grader, and have enough experience to detect surface problems, then you should have no problem buying raw coins. If you...
Yes, it is the monogram for Adolph Weinman, the guy who designed the coin. It is actually an A superimposed over a W. All Walkers should have the...

I find cabinet toning to be very attractive, usually. I've noticed when looking through auctions, these are the ones that jump out at me.
I never would have guess that was possible, OP. Do the surfaces look like they have been worked on? Do they show unnatural roughness or...
I know literally zero about VAMs. Thus, I stand corrected. It sounds like this die resembles the 1836 Capped Bust Half, O-105 (down at the bottom,...
That is not quite true. The breakdown is more like 60/40, with the obverse more important. A borderline reverse will be carried by the obverse....
The fields are smooth as butter, and that reverse is remarkably mark free. The luster is above average, and the strike is strong. I would not be...
The overwhelming mountain of law and case history says otherwise.
How many times do we have to refer you to the law? This nonsensical argument that Carr likes to repeat has absolutely zero basis in the law. Just...
But Evan has not explained away the law. Just because you can google it and find the information doesn't make it illegal, according to the laws...
Separate names with a comma.
