We've been over this before, on the "Why are american coins so overrated ?" thread. Jerome, there's something about the whole "supply and...
Wow. That's a piece of work, right there. I wonder if the buyer intends to break up the collection ? It will be interesting to see if there are...
Interesting article. Thanks !
Ya know, I'm the same way. Maybe my eye is simply drawn to the unusual. Recently, I finally got my first 20c piece. Always wanted one. And yes,...
Perhaps it also has to do with the attributes of the coin or series. For instance - why are there so Morgan dollar collectors, and so few Seated...

I'm gonna say VF20. Looks like an old cleaning that is retoning. Maybe F15, but I think PCGS will say VF20.
I'm with ya, AJ. They're exceedingly sensitive... until it's time to offend others.
You just answered your own question, Jerome. They were not fascist symbols, so why change ? They were not fascist symbols when first used, nor...
I suppose the dime was changed in 1946 to honor FDR, shortly after his passing. This timing is similar to the Ike dollar and the JFK half. We...
That makes a lot of sense. It certainly explains why so many G$1s have poor strikes. The series lasted 41 years; I'm surprised they lasted that...
I agree that good coins can be found in 2nd-rate TPG holders - an idea which validates the age-old CT mantra of "buy the coin, not the holder"....
Crazy thing traded for $1,300 ... half what a legit one would cost
...and that the Georgia quarter is really for Soviet Georgia, where Stalin was born ?
