The print did change on the 1955 to 1964 Proof set envelopes over time. Also the way the sets were stored can effect the tan color of the...

Here are couple more examples of this unusual token. This is the best one I have owned. These pieces are listed among the Hard Times Tokens. The...
Here's the King John coin to get, the Irish penny because it has his name on it. [ATTACH] Dealers told me that it's "common," but I had hard time...
I would not try it again. The Grey Sheet bid in MS-64 is $240 which makes it a marginal coin given the cost of grading and shipping. If you want a...
The True View photos made it look like a high grade coin. Your "reveal photo" seems to show the problems. The coin looks dull in that photo with...
The 1881-S dollars were well made and many of them are in Mint State condition. I don't know what the grading services are doing now, but years...
This coin is graded MS-64. Do you really think that this coin is only one grading point better than the coin in the opening post? [ATTACH] I...

I can't see where the coin is hairlined. Therefore, the word "cleaned" does not really apply to this piece. There are collectors who are totally...
My grade would be AU-50 with the added comment that it may have been dipped. It might just be the picture's exposure, but the color is on the pale...
The coin looks like an MS-66, but there is one problem I have found with PCGS True View photos. They often make the coin look better than it is....
Here is my only 1809 half cent after owning all six of them at one time or another. This one is Cohen variety 1809-3. This is an EAC grade MS-60....
MS-63, no Full Head. There are a lot of small marks that preclude a higher grade. The luster looks good on the obverse. The reverse is more...
Spotting it is not easy. Generally the six varieties of the 1809 half cent offer the biggest challenge if you are out at a show, not using the...
I start from the beginning. [ATTACH]
The trouble with putting values on the 1809 C-1 is that most of the examples I have seen had problems, sometimes big problems. The only piece I...
