Yes, they are more interesting than run of the mill junk silver.
I imagine that they have lots of followers. There were too many big customers around when I was a dealer for the market to have dried up that...
None. I buy the coins in the holders that I want. When I was dealer, I submitted quite a few coins because it was the way to make money. Now...
If you are talking about ancient coins, yes. If you are invovled with old U.S. coins, not as much. "Cleaning" or "work done" is more likely with...
Yea, I was beginning to wonder about that. The 1873 Two Cent Piece is wicked expensive in all grades. Even if you find one in Good, it’s still...
The 1865 is pretty easy, almost like the 1864 Large Motto. The 1870 is tougher. Here's the one I had in a set that I formed and sold years ago. I...
Recently there has been some talk about the Continental Dollar, which now appears not be a dollar at all, but a small medal that commemorated the...
The 1864 $500 Confederate note can be collected with various colors. There are three levels, light red, pink and dark red underprints. The "dark...
Old copper large cents can get red corrosion. It is rarer than green corrosion, but it can happen. I must confess that have not looked at enough...

If you were in my shoes, you would know more about her.
I think that the value has gone down on the Continental Dollars. People might want to believe what they want to believe, but given than these...
I only have a 1936 and a 1942 Proof set, and the coins certified. Finding the 1936 to ‘42 sets in the mint packages is virtually impossible. I...
AU-58

Technical AU-58. There is a rub on the highest points of Lincoln's portrait. The slab grade might be MS-61, Brown. This coin was struck with...
First I don't view coins as an investment. Having said that, some things have a better chance of holding their value. I have never been a fan of...
I think that "Roosevelt Dime on a nail" is a "midnight special" not a mint error. Some mint employees get grief for manufacturing and sneaking...
I can’t get to the big picture, but the thumbnail looks dark and dull.
You will if you paid MS-67 money when it comes time to sell. NGC graded coins can’t get away with this.
