If you're looking to blow a $1,400 stimulus check on one, then 1885-CC in MS66-DMPL is kind of the best of all worlds. Better date with a mintage...
Something priced right. Not much chance of anything really interesting, seems all the good world coins are on such a terror the past 4 months...

Agree completely. The US market is a circus when viewed from the perspective of Registry Set influence on prices realized. Also agree that raw...
Buwhahahaha!! Agreed, I can think of a 1958 half-dollar that fits the same profile. What's amazing about most of the really desirable British...

Wilson had as much to do with today's mess (along with the depression) as either of them, when he created the Federal Reserve.
There was another side to the trade, the guys making the margin call made out well on the deal.
It hit $12.27 less than a year ago, March 16 of 2020. Lots of leveraged investors got margin calls and got absolutely killed.
VERY useful information. Thank you.
Yes, it's all the Canadians fault. If only Ottawa had taken the time to create coins that really were proof none of the ensuing confusion would...
