Nice color. Nickels have unique tone to 'em. This one's got kind of a champagne tone to it. Nice work !
THAT would be the perfect day to take a little tour of the Capitol ! :D I'd pay a stack of Sacs to see that
I kind of like that obverse. Reminds me a little of the 1793 Half Cent, but facing the opposite way. And a WHOLE lot more affordable...
Gold is already at $662... I'm no economist, but all the reading I've done leads me to believe that the forces driving gold higher will persist...
You betcha. My only bad deal was for a nice 20c piece for my type set. Bought it on E-bay. Dude never delivered. I hounded him, E-Bay, and...
On one hand, it's more like an advertising term. It's certainly not well defined. On the other hand, it does have some usefulness. Let's say you...
I'm with ya, brutha. I remember back in 1970 there were some 1970-S Lincolns with a huge obverse cud right where "IN GOD" is. They were called...
"without leaving evidence of abrasion on the edge"...I think that is THE key issue. Since this sort of technique is used to dress up bag-marked...
Nice... really clean cheeks and fields. Yeah... look very carefully under a loupe to ensure there's no brush / whiz action goin' on.
ya could probably play a game of Ultimate Frisbee with that thing
Yep. I've seen the replica Stellas, 1804 dollars, etc etc etc. Never interested. The ASEs and Buffalos are legit mint products - monetized, legal...
Again, right on. I just read as much as possible, and go to dealers and coin shows, and look at thousands of good ones. And hang around...
Right on. Moreover... the photo doesn't prove the coin itself is 420 grains. All it proves is that, at one point in time, a certain digital...
Only 104 have been certified by NGC (46) + PCGS (58)... less than 8% of the mintage. How many others have survived is anyone's guess.
Well NOW you've done it ! :D I may not get to sleep tonight. That opens up a whole new line of thinking...
For that matter, why no CAL 1/2 Eagles, or $10 Eagles ? In those days, I'm guessing they had "production runs", during which they geared up for...
It's interesting to note how QUICKLY things changed after the very first discovery of gold. It only took a few months for the discovery to ripple...
Good to see the overwhelmingly positive tone of this thread. The #1 thing top TPGs sell is not opinions - it's integrity. Same with any good...
Check out the line : “Plaintiffs fail ... to plead any fact to support their implication that Switt legally obtained the 1933 Double Eagles,”...
#3 sounds fantastic. As an avid type collector, I've been pondering for a while how fabulous the Buffalo and Standing Liberty moderns are. They...
