According to Roger Burdette, the Proof dies that the mint used in this are were chromium plated. As they were used specks of metal came off of...
Or the S-Mint could be a counterfeit. There is no such thing as an unsearched roll, especially when it has a screw top.
I collect presidential campaign items from 1789 to date. That overlaps with the coins since many of the 19th pieces were tokens. In the 20th...
As some of you know, I am a “light weight” ancient imperial Roman coin collector. My current goal is to get one coin for each emperor up a date...
My guess is it does not say "Uncirculated" on the GSA holder. These coins were graded by mostly college studends who got a crash course on grading...
If you blow up the photo, you can see enough of the fake to know that it is a very poor copy, just like two I posted at the start of this thread....
Congress chartered the Second Bank of the United States in 1816 for a twenty year term. The bank became the object of President Andrew Jackson’s...
Over the years that I have observed them, the grades got sloppy during periods of hot markets. Maybe it was because lots of coins were sent in for...
When I photograph something, I sit with the coin in hand and work on the color to get a match. I also might take an angle shot to get more of the...
This is one area where I have had very little experence and have never owned coin from this era. All the Bust Dimes I have owned were from the the...
I will take "in hand" over any photograph you can show me. That even goes for a coin show with poor lighting. "In hand" allows you to experience...

I have no idea where a hammered English coin from circa 1166 to 1500 should go. When I first came here, I was informed that they went in the...
If you had submitted the OP coin to PCGS or NGC back when I was having my collection graded, it would have come back in a body bag as...
I would caution other collectors about this "two toned" cameo look on circulated coins. It's not a look that was popular years ago, but maybe you...
Here's mine. It falls short of what I really wanted, but it's what I purchased. A couple of years later, I saw one I liked more. At that time I...
As a type collector for more than 50 years, I voted “5.” This is a one year type, but the mintage was high, and a fair number of them have...
I can’t muster much enthusiasm for this. The 1921 Morgan Dollar was a pale imitation of the coins that were issued in the 19th century. The Peace...
That is a double edged sword. If you don't explain how to spot the counterfeit, more people will get taken in. I think that it is better to point...
