I like Proof sets and I have kept of collection of them on an annual. I have given up on the modern clad sets however. I only buy the silver sets...
No. There are plenty of old examples available. I don’t need this contrived piece of collector trash. The days of, “if we make, they will come,”...
Yes. The thing has AU sharpness, but the uncharacteristic weakness through the date plus the grainy surfaces say to me that it is not real. I...
It’s just a low end Mint State coin with marks. There is nothing else to say about it.
It's an MS-62 graded coin with funky color. One would expect some hits given that grade. You can't expect something that is "almost perfect" with...
The three troubles with the "crap coins" you started this string with are (1) high mintages for many of them (2) very minor differences when it...
I am really drawn to the Dahlonega mint mark and to a lesser extent the Charlotte one. The rest, I can take it or leave it depending upon how I...
If I wanted one, would be one very nice coin. Of course the fact that a grading set like this can be assembled shows that this coin is not than...

Add to that a great many 1875-CC Twenty Cent Pieces are weakly struck on the upper part of the eagle's left wing and the corrisponding area on...
I prefer the obverse and color of #1 and the reverse of #2. From an old U.S. coin collector perspective, the color of #2 looks unnatural. That’s...
Between 1932 and today, the technology goals of coin production have changed radically. In 1932 quarters were made to be used in the economy. Now...
The photos don’t show hairlining or unnatural luster. It must be different in person.
Collectors are attracted to the “CC” mint mark; the Philadelphia coins are “ordinary and commonplace.”
The 1838 is a PCGS MS-64. Some people would not like it because it was dipped years ago.
Yes, the three legged Buffalo is not rare at all. When I was dealer, if you could buy nice Mint State one for $1,100, you could flip it fast for...
