Hmmmm.... yeah, sumthin' doesn't seem right about this one. Can't put my finger on it, but you're right... the wear pattern doesn't seem natural....
My guess is that a major sale of gold by the IMF would have a downward pressure on gold spot. I doubt either the US or UK would default on a...
Just don't try that with your 93-S Morgan ! :D But seriously, folks.... Nice coin, CB. And that photo of your '93 Barber 25c is so fabulous, I...
Some people think the 1926 is the best made of the Indian $2.5 series. In general, the final 5 years do tend to be the best. (1925D - 1929)....
If you like these coins (and I love 'em), then consider these books : "A Collector's Guide to Indian Head Quarter Eagles" - Fuljenz / Winter "A...
Chapman was wrong, as are most negative people (who refer to themselves as "truly informed"). To the Chapmans of the world, especially...
Man -o- man ... that is insane luster. Absolutely sick. (that's a compliment, BTW...)

True dat. It's all about eye appeal, my friend. For a 65, that coin is not very attractive (to me personally). I assure you there are many 63s...
Some people might have a lower opinion... but not many. In fact, it seems the seller's esteem has taken a net overall increase. :thumb:
I'm going with "triple WOW" on this one ! :bigeyes:
Yep.. you should be ! Looks like a winner. Lustrous. It's all about the fields... bangs, nicks, gouges. They plague this series. Since there are...
65 is a crazy coin in this series. $6000+. I've seen very, very few in years of dealing with these.
