For me, it's Draped Bust Silver Heraldic Eagle. The obverse sports the best image of our most important concept - Liberty. That rendering is...
My specialty !
Yep. A lot of folks prefer circulated coins for that reason. And the fact that uncirculated cents from the 1800's cost many thousands of...
True. In all likelihood, this thread is fake.
Still no picture. I'm starting to think this is a prank thread.
The most recent sale I am aware of was spring 2009. An impaired proof PR58 sold for $2.3 million. The only eye appeal it has is the date ! The...
Who are these experts ? This reminds me of the last scene in "Raiders of the Lost Ark"... Bureaucrat: "We've got top men on this." Indian Jones:...
There have been two bids ! Someone is bidding $1000 for this thing - whatever it is. No pictures and a seller with zero feedback ! Somehow, my...

How many states in 1804... maybe 15 or so ?

Not at all. It's never wrong to be concerned, never wrong to be wary. Or, as we say in the sciences, "trust... but verify". We should make sure...
That's an apt description. I don't buy there much anymore, but I agree they are easy to deal with. My only complaint is I can't inspect the coins...
I think it has to be LM-5, R.2 . That's the only Small 5c with S2S-6 alignment; the other have very different S2S alignment. Pic doesn't show if...
Part of the strangeness might be the lighting. But another factor might be this - I think the coin was dipped or cleaned, then recolored. A coin...
Hmmmm... for some reason, I get the obverse but not the reverse.
That's true. Personally, I have not heard that. It certainly seems unwise; for one thing, they're putting more intrinsic value into a coin which...
Do I spend coins ? Sure... so I can get rid of 'em. I rarely have more than $1.00 worth of change; when I can make exact change, I do. I just...
Separate names with a comma.
