You are going up against over 1,000 years of tradition. Edgar, who was crowned "the king of all of England" in 973, started the tradition. It has...
Maybe, but it could also be in the metal. In that case you would have to dig it out which will leave a distracting hole in the surface and maybe a...
I agree with @TypeCoin971793. The obverse is wiped, and the rim ding is a further distraction. I would only buy this if I were collecting these...
MS-65 because of small marks on the obverse and the black spot. NGC would probably grade it higher. They are not as tough on modern coins as PCGS...
The opening post coin seems to have a lot of luster. The TPGs often give the grade a boost for that, and discount the marks. Also the grader might...
The first $50 gold slug I saw that liked was priced at $65,000. I had just acquired the last coin I needed to finish my type set and did not have...
Finger prints on Proof coins is an even worst sin. I received a set with dime that was like the cent shown above. The packer took their bare thumb...
Among the coins that are possible, I would like a Humbert U.S. Assay Office California $50 gold gold piece that is not beaten to pieces. Properly...
Unfortunately you need to be able to spot fakes and know how to grade to be able buy raw Morgan Dollars and not waste money on grading fees. If...
I would check out Northeast Numismatics and David Lawrence. The trouble with the auction houses is that prices have seemed to very high,...
I am just happy that I never got hooked on this stuff I don’t have to worry about it. The mint used to put an issue schedule up on-line. Does that...
Yes, the issue cases mean something to me too. All to often they get discarded when the coins are slabbed. Sometimes they are sold separately....
The mint sets from the mid 1970s to the early 1980s contained a lot of ugly coins. I used to say that the mint dumped all of the mint set coins on...
It’s hard to say if the marks are on the plastic or the coin. I would say that the last one, the 1973-D is pretty beat up. It’s probably no better...
Today is Maundy Thursday, the Thursday before Good Friday and Easter Sunday. In England, the monarch gives money, in the form of silver coins to...
I spotted it again this morning on CU.

One of wife's friends, who lives in Belgium, received a couple of Christmas cards a couple days ago. At least they were mailed in 2020. :smuggrin:
The British 5 guineas piece weighed 1.44 ounces according to my calculations. I would not say that they Panama - Pacific coins at almost 2.5...
The stars on the American flag have five points. Ditto for the stars on the four versions of the Confederate flag that the South approved during...
