The "North Star" token is listed in Fuld as 250/437a. While reviewing this token in the latest CWT reference book for the patriotic tokens, I...
Everett is most often remembered as the guy who spoke before Abraham Lincoln at the dedication of the Soldiers National Cemetery on November 19,...
I voted AU-53. The coin has some rub on Ms. Liberty's breast and knee and there is a lot of rub in the fields as @Publius2 indicated previously I...
That is first time I have read that interpretation. That interpretation is most often associated with this piece, the "North Star" token. This is...
CAC is the reason why I no longer buy significant U.S. coins. If you have to depend on the opinion of one man to determine which coins get into...
At least MS-64. It would not surprise me that it's in an MS-65 or 66 holder if the reverse does not have problems. I have been surprised at the...
That is a nice example in the AU-58 grade. I’ve seen lesser pieces pushed as Mint State coins.
Die cracks appear on real ancient coins, but the rest of this piece looks fake, especially if it’s supposed to be gold.

It has a fair amount of corrosion, the green stuff, and some "red areas" from where the toning has been disturbed. It's really only worth a cent...
The only thing I see that might be wrong with it is that it is a trifle dull. The pictures posted by @messydesk are what you might want to see for...
Here are the "Big Three" 1864 cents. These were the last old U.S. coins I purchased before I stopped buying the old U.S. coin market....
They spent too much time in the parking lot.
MS-66
Heritage is a good place to go for coins that are really tough to find. If you are buying "widgets" I'd give some other places a try because it...
Fingers and and the palm of your hand do not go well with with red copper coins. Those pieces are the most delicate of all collector coins. Just...
I don't why you folks are buying these coins raw unless you are filling an album and don't like to crack out slabs. I don't care for the 1921...
The surfaces look grainy to me, and that does not seem right. I don't have a 1921 Pilgrim, but the 1920 version had brilliant fields not matte...
