I wonder why so few are graded. How does that compare to other years with similar mintage numbers? Does anyone have population reports from other...
I just moved to the east side of the Dallas/Ft Worth metroplex, and am having a bear of a time moving my safety deposit box. The closest Bank of...
What is the time period for it? Any idea of the composition or scarcity? And which side says congratulations? -Thanks
I came across a completely unknown coin (or token) the other day. Does this seem familiar to anyone? My best guess at this point is that it's an...
This article has more specifics on the penalties he's facing, as well as the locations where he made some sales:...
I found the mintage numbers on Numista: http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces15262.html?mobile=0
63 does seem a bit high to me. MS61 (with a note about bag marks) would be my call. On a tough day, I would judge it to be an AU55. But, the...
No offense, but it sounds reasonable to me. If my coins were stolen, I would want every possibly way to track down who stole them. Also, maybe...

Do I have pics? Yes. Are they good pics? No. Here's what I was able to put together (using a dashcam camera & a 60x pocket loupe):...
Did Guanjuato mint 10 centavos in 1871? What were the mintage numbers?
I thought it would be Potosi as well, but in 1871, it appears that Potosi was using a "Pi" mint mark. Were there pattern or transitional mint...
Beautiful! I've been thinking about getting a 1915 50c for a while, but the price point is a bit high. If I won the lottery, I would immediately...
It looks like the OP has been jumped on pretty hard, but I would say that the question is worth considering. Another way to phrase it would be -...
It does seem like the mint could save quite a bundle by doing mintage in a 6-month window AFTER orders have been placed (and maybe minting a 1-2%...
It's amazing that beauties like that are still out there in raw condition. Good find! I don't have a lot of high-end coppers or bronzes in my...
