I don't have anything close to Marauder's stuff, but I've got a few toners. I'll start you all off with some Frankie's, of course: [img] [img]...
I discuss this in detail towards the end of the article. The fact is, no one really knows. Maybe 4 dies for 1958, and maybe 3 dies for 1959? But...
The easiest way to get rolls of US coins in England would probably be to find a "roll buddy" - you ship him rolls of English coins, and he ships...
BTW stands for Booker T. Washington - a commemorative half dollar. What you have is a WLH - Walking Liberty Half.
I wrote an extensive article, covering everything you need to know about type II reverse Franklins. I have several of them, although I am still...
If the coin looks like an MPL, and is quite obviously one, I doubt the graders take the extra time to look at the diagnostics and confirm that it...
I do not like this coin really much at all - especially not at 67*. No coin with a huge fingerprint should ever grade above 65 in my opinion, no...
Cool post, Chris, and great pictures. What is the value difference between the No FG and Weak FG?
That RPD is cool. Unfortunately, from your picture, that Kennedy does not look like a true no initials coin. It appears to be a strikethrough...
I very much like both of these NT quarters, and agree with Doug's tabbed folder assessment. Very nice!
Thanks, Doug. I think I forgot to change the links when I posted this article here.
If you won this at auction, you have absolutely no basis, grounds, or right to return it simply because you paid to much. I find this absolutely...
You paid about an average price. The Redbook is not a reliable price guide. I love Franklins, as I'm sure you know. I hope that piece looks better...
$25 is at the high end of what I would look to pay for these. The Red book cannot be relied upon for value. 69DCAM is pretty much the standard...
No I don't, Cheetah. I have had a chance to read a copy of one issue though, and it was quite informative. Keep in mind, however, that I know...
I am a member of the ANS, and quite enjoy their quarterly magazine. Its worth the price of membership for that alone. Their collection is...
Did you get anything cool?
Doug, the issue of strike affecting grade is subjective - I'll give you that. However, the high point pitting issue is well known. I got the...
Wow, that is really nice! A handcrafted piece as nice as that should go for a few hundred!
Thanks! Yes, I spent roughly 7-8 years assembling that collection. You have a good eye - the 1952 is one of my favorites also.
