See Roger Burdette's post on page 3 of this thread on the NGC forum for a clear explanation of Longacre doubling:...
John Feigenbaum was the founder of David Lawrence Rare Coins, now run by his son. He wrote a number of reference works on Barber Coins also. I...
That's a beautiful coin. and mysterious!
I once had EMR privileges for Trade Dollars and it worked pretty well. Ebay has pretty much given up on the auction model and is leaving it as a...
