Johnnie Walker Blue, but only on special occasions. Getting back to the Proof sets, yes they are out of favor these days, but I still like them...
Join the club. So am I. I have marked that one as "unavailable" on my check list.
That is a very impressive set. I have liked British gold since I started collecting British coins seven years ago. I don't have all of the...
No, most of the whales, even when they know what the are doing, want PCGS plastic, and in an unfortunate number of cases, CAC sticky cardboard....
Really? I'll show the coin to you the next time we can get together. If the entire coin is not original, aside from the place I circled, then no...
I am sure that there are lot of "sleeper date and mint mark combinations" in the Seated Dollar series in addition the pieces that get all of the...

I am not confused at all. I would not touch that coin. I guess ancient coins are different from U.S. coins. They are immune, according to you,...
If it is possible, folks who spot these fakes should post pictures. Once the item has been taken down, it’s impossible to learn something about...
My guess is there was an ugly black spot there, and someone scraped it off in an uncouth manner. No, the coin does not deserve a straight grade.
Whatever it is, I would not want it in my collection because I think that is active corrosion that will only get worse. This is one of the reasons...
Actually they are pretty darn close to it. Many of these dates were made with one set of dies. For the record, I think that the OP is genuine,...
Here is the one on my set. It is a PCGS MS-65. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] The gold dollars in the 1880s have low mintages, but the survival rates were...
The 1883 No Cents Nickel is a very common coin in EF or better. You can find a better one very easily. In fact, the 1883 No Cents is often used to...
