WOW! That takes me back. First Coinvestors was run by a guy named Stanley Applebaum. What he sold was anything but "investment grade material."...
If the coins were in sealed PCGS or NGC slabs, once they opened them, they have taken a big step when they crack out the coins. You are right. The...
I buy very little on eBay. I have collected U.S. coins for 60 years, British coins for about 10 years and have been learning about Imperial Roman...
Since it's NGC, I'd say Proof-67 on the holder. The obverse is Cameo or close to it, but the reverse lets its down. I would say that it is...
I didn't think I had any MS-63 graded Morgans until I remembered this one. This 1878, 7 over 8 tail feathers in an NGC graded MS-63. This is the...
One of the most important things is to store them at a constant temperature. Having the temperature go up and down to a great degree is really...
Yes, the coin barkers on TV have been selling gold, silver and platinum plated quarters on TV for years. I almost fell out of my chair one night...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] This 1806 half dollar is graded AU-58. It has the luster, but not the detail that your piece has. If you coin has as much luster...
1793 half cent [ATTACH] 1793 Weath Cent. If you compare the reverse die work on these pieces, it appears to have been done by the same hand....
If the surfaces are not hairlined from cleaning, I would say it will grade AU-55, maybe 58. The strike and resulting sharpness are superior for an...
Real Chester A. Arthur campaign pieces are very rare. Arthur became president after the death of James Garfield via assassination. Arthur went to...
The color in those photos does not look like silver to me. I think that it has been plated with something.
And I suppose that since you are "a scientist" everyone else is wrong. You logic is chasing its own tail. After generations of numismatists have...
I just sent a check I sent a check to a dealer that never got there. Thank goodness I have a free stop payment with my account.
Breen’s half dime supplement, which was published in 1958, inspired me to collect the early dates. It was part of the Quarterman reprint, which...
And there is no contemporary evidence that he didn't design any U.S. coins. You have taken that fig leaf and used it as an excuse to write off...
I might add that Heritage has been getting some very high prices in their actions of late. Therefore this asking price might even be more out of...
I don’t think the Americans are interested in another gimmick coin. Every dollar coin has failed since 1836. Even the early dollars, 1794 to 1803,...
I would not get hung up on the VAM die variety specially. It will distract you from your overall goal of completing a date and mint set. Look at...
Buy really choice AU-58 coins for the super tough dates when you can. They can be nicer than the low Mint State coins. Having said that the number...
