I think that a collection is finished when say it’s finished. My type set is finished except when NGC adds a modern coin to it. The last one cost...
These pictures of an 1825 quarter eagle, a tough coin, are accurate in their own way. Neither tells the whole store about the coin. The quarter...
A word the the wise ... when you are going to and from a coin show, it’s a good idea to be as inconspicuous as possible. Years ago I saw an old...
I have read that over half of the varieties that the British - Roman usurper, Carausius issued featured Pax on the reverse. That makes sense...
Here is my piece with Julius Caesar on the reverse. It's high grade, but not well centered. [ATTACH]
I don’t think the government will ever sell those 1933 double Eagles. They are not like a car that has been confiscated from a drug dealer. Unless...
I don’t understand why people are so impressed with these cloudy Proof Eisenhower Dollars. Yes, the mint packaging has caused many of these coins...
Paying a lot of money for a known counterfeit is a risky move given the fact that it is illegal to own it. Yes, the law is selectively enforced,...
I don’t thing that the 1933 double eagle will bring an all time high price given the fact at least 15 pieces are known. Yes, the government is...

It sounds like you are going to end up with a few coins in decent grades or a bunch of low grade or problem coins. Why do you only want to...
I voted "64" although it could be "65." There are a few tiny marks on the face and the one above the eagle. I have seen some of these $2.50...
I voted "62" before I saw the answer. The is super smooth with virtually no bag marks, but it has a rub, especially on the eagle's wing. It's...
#3 is a puzzlement. I guess the answer is "dime," but the dime was introduced in 1796. The Liberty Cap Dime was introduced in 1809. That would be...
Whether or not it’s Mint State, it’s probably going to be sold as a lower end Mint State piece. It is probably what dealers used to call...
I am not really into ancient bronze coins as yet, unless I have to (Caligula AS). Here's my Postumus coin. [ATTACH] Antoninianus of Postumus,...
I don't think that Maximinus promoted his son Maximus beyond the level of caesar. As such he would not be the seventh emperor. According to David...
Signed or unsigned really does not matter. It has to do with the varieties that are listed in the major reference works.
The 1825 half cent you have is listed as Cohen variety #2 for 1825. It is the more common of the two varieties that are known from that year. It...
