When you look at this coin and the proof half dollar discussed in another thread, it would seem that 1854 would have been a good year to visit the...
It was graded and sold as AU-55. Seems a bit high but I guess population influences grading. Actually, it is entirely meaningless what the grade...
Red-Brown A copper coin that has from 5 to 95 percent of its original mint color remaining (RB). There do appear to be a few spots of copper...
Don't assume the coins that the dealer gets are unsearched. Probably far from it - just someone else's castoffs.
The "Union" is being made and sold by the New York Mint. Here is the ad: http://www.newyorkmint.net/home/008164.aspx Nowhere in the ad do they...
Further information from the seller. I had commented to him that several reference books do not list his coin, and also asked why he chose ebay...
HA Auction in Dallas, October 23, 2008. This gem is graded...well, I'll play Guess The Grade. Post your opinions, without looking it up....
Actually, I was questioning your implication that the same hub was used in 1932 and 1934; then another hub in 1934 and 1935; and finally a third...
And these are all for coins minted in, and dated 1934?
Right on! Everything you said is exactly what I've been saying. It looks like it's you and me against the world. To everyone else, I'm not...
Circulation wear.
I think it's going a bit overboard to include "medium". It's sort of like the 1922 cent with D, weak D and no D. Either the D shows or it...
Your idea of an inventory must be different from mine. My inventory includes a description of each coin, when I got it, who I got it from, the...
All the references I have seen refer to Heavy and Light mottos only - no Medium.
If I have read and interpreted the comments here, slabbing is mainly done with an eye toward a future sale of the coin. That is all fine and good...
One of my Great-Grandfathers was a wealthy farmer in Indiana in the mid to late 1800's. I have a diary he kept with some of his financial...
I emailed the seller for pictures. These are what he sent. No telling if it's the obverse and reverse of the same coin. The seller's phone...
I know you know a heck of a lot more about these than I do but something about this one just doesn't look right to me. The color looks odd, the...
There is the 1838-O Proof half http://www.coinlink.com/CoinGuide/featured/1838-o-reeded-edge-half-dollar-proof-the-atwater-specimen/ [IMG]
To me, stories of the gold-plated V-Nickels are a bit overblown. It's hard to believe that many people would be fooled by that since the design...
