Thanks for posting this. I missed this incident when I was young collector in the 1960s. In addition to his famous 1944 nickel, Henning made...
Here is an 1875 Proof Twenty Cent Piece. The grade is PCGS PR-64, Cameo. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Yes, I’ve seen some 1983 reverse side doubled die cents for which I would not have paid a dime. The plating was blistered and the air was rushing...

The writing on the Declaration of Independence is quite dim. In 1826 the document was given to a printer so that he could make a copy of it. In...
First, even though the Proof mintage was 2,600, the 1875 double dime is not that common in Proof. From what i’ve read, a lot of them went unsold...
My local club was given a group of these coins that were in Littleton Coin Company packages. The coins were hand selected and very high quality. I...
Here is one more high grade example that is arguably better than any of the pieces shown above. NGC graded this 1881 gold dollar MS-67, and it has...
I cherry picked two when I was a dealer. The better one was very close to EF. I can’t believe that a dealer chould miss that, but he did. Given...

THAT coin does flirt with the EF-40 grade although I would be inclined to grade it VF-35. The OP link led to an eBay offering that appeared to...
If the parallel lines are on the holder, it’s an MS-66. If not then it’s more like MS-63 with great color.
I read about the new cents in “The Weekly Reader,” which was a weekly elementary school newspaper. At this time, just before I got my first Red...
When I started collecting, a Two Cent Piece with no “WE” showing was a Good. Now this one is probably graded Fine. It also has rim damage to boot....
If you put out anything decent, you might as well put a sign on your front lawn that reads: Coin Collector Lives Here Come Rob Me!!!
The shipment of gold that came from California might have been used to make these two medals that were awarded to Zachary Taylor and Winfield...
It's time to dust off another of my old articles that I wrote for my local club. Here one about the 1848 CAL. $2.50 gold piece. [ATTACH]...
When you have "registry fever" and more money than you know what to do with it, you get involved with coins like this at these prices. Frankly...
