You are an unusual collector. It amazes me, but there seems to be a very limited interest among collectors in the "odd denominations." I have...
A huge vast majority of these coins do not need to be certified. It is a total waste of money in many cases. It's an even bigger waste of money...
One of the really annoying things about some slabs is when the rotates in the holder. This often happens small, thin coins, like gold dollars and...
I doubt that you will ever find an 1851-O trime in P-L. It was frequently not a well made issue. I had one when I was kid that would probably...
The photos on that 1892-S, MS-64 graded dollar leave me not wanting to trust the full slab shots at all. Ms. Liberty's cheek on the full slab shot...

As a dealer I blew off the Presidential Dollar Proof sets I had for $4.25.
That looks like a fun set! Great idea!
Not hard to find as a collectible, but less and less available in circulation. Don’t try to retire on large quantities of the very common dates.
As a retired coin dealer who worked at a lot of shows, it was a lot easier to carry 10 one dollar bills than 10 coins. Ditto for the average...
The mint is not even making these coins for general circulation are they? If they are not, they are a waste of metal. I have yet to see collectors...
Actually, I gave you sanitized version the whole story is even worse. Patty Cannon (Her real name may have been Lucretia Patricia Hanley.) was...
I was born and raised in Delaware, and I had no idea who Annie Jump Cannon was. The only famous, or more aptly put, infamous Delaware Cannon I...
