It looks like whatever they are using to clean the planchets is not working. Since that’s a 2021 dated coin, it must have turned almost at the...
If the mint wanted to have a flying eagle, they should have for the Gobrechet Dollar design.
EBay poofed it, so I guess it was bad.
I went against the grain. I bought Confederate currency (all 1861 series notes), ancient coins and only a couple of U.S. pieces. I had one dealer...
Thank you very much. I am looking forward to seeing you in January!
I got back from the Summer FUN show yesterday. It was a great show for me with probably more dealers there than ever before. One of the coins...
When you see milk spots, it is not a PR-70. It is my understanding that these things appear on recently minted coins. If that’s true, it’s a good...
You have an 1863 issue of the $5 Confederate note. The Confederacy issued 7,745,600 of these notes. The most interesting aspect of the 1863 notes...
If you mainly want buy silver, you don’t need to mess with graded ASEs. They only add to you cost of acquisition. Most of them are high grade in...
Let's hope that this is not "the modern" MS-65 or 66. It has significant marks on the face. No way that is a "Gem Unc."
Good catch! Winner, Winner! Sweet and Sour Chinese Chicken Dinner! In this case, it's all sour. It's really bad when you have to go into...
The previous picture really nails it. I don't have the software to make a tiny portion of the photo have that much detail.
It has a rough cheek, but it's also got a lot luster. The grade would be AU-55 if the Cheek doesn't bother you that much, or AU-53 if it does.
Looking at the obverse, it's quite obvious that this coin is bad. The surfaces have a grainy texture and the devices are not sharp as you would...
The worst thing about coin A are the many marks running down Ms. Liberty's arm. Given today's grading standards, you are dreaming if you think...
Coin B has the typical look for original surface Seated Dollars of this period. They spent most of their time in vaults were they got a lot of...
The 1795 Flowing Hair Dollar is not that scarce as early coins go. Unlike some things, they are always available for a price, which has increased...
It’s probably genuine, but when are you too lazy to take the item out of a plastic sleeve to take the photo to sell it? The pictures don’t tell...
BTW there were a few modest value markings on the early U.S. coins. Note the tiny "1/2" on the reverse of this 1796 half dollar. It didn't say...
The idea for the decimal system of coinage and money was actually hatched by Thomas Jefferson and Robert Morris circa 1782. Fortunately they held...
