I think it's real, but it looks tooled, or re-ingraved, plus heavily cleaned to the point where it looks like lead instead of silver. I wouldn't...
I'll go along with VF. The color on it is really nice as well. Guy~
I'd agree the running stars and letters are found on probably half, if not more, CBH's. But wow! I only wish I were collecting in 1978 instead of...
Great buy for $50! Still has a lot of nice detail. Guy~
There's not really a right answer to "how to start collecting". Do a bit of reading on the hobby in general to familiarize yourself with some...
You made a good call on both a and b, in my opinion. I've never heard of the National Mint Corp. before and would probably steer clear unless you...
I hate to even guess a grade on that coin. All I'll say is I wish it were mine! Great coin, Mike!! Guy~
I for one know I will never profit from my coins in the sense of dollars. Thats simply because I can't seem to part with any coins in my...
Nice buys, Mark. It's too bad the reverse of the CB dime isn't as nice as the obverse, but still, it's not a bad coin. I really like the seated...
Guess that depends on what your definition of terrible is. I suppose if you're trying to offload a bunch of metals it's terrible. But, like...
Until you accidently trade a really nice, hard to find VAM thinking it was a duplicate or a normal date, and then can't figure out why you can't...

Interesting article. I never pictured us coin collectors as revolutionary pioneers in "privatized secession" or thought we'd be the survivors...
I don't think you're getting too beat up on this one. I like my Dansco albums, but at the same time I have coins I like out of albums. I love the...
I was looking for some places to purchase some bullion for spot, or very close to it. One place I found was called BullionDirect. Has anyone had...
We've all made the same mistakes. At least you can now look back on it as a learning experience. If only most of my mistakes looked so nice in the...
If the notes were really going to increase that much, it makes me question the sellers motive to sell so cheap. Sounds like just another scam. Of...
Corrosion or not, I cant see a single letter in LIBERTY. Not more than ag in my opinion. GUy~
Another brilliant carving, Bill! One of these days I'm going to have to borrow some cash from my wife and buy one of your pieces. I think no...
Looks AU to me. Very common date. Normally I'd say a real world price of $250-300. But, with the toning, like we've discussed in previous threads,...
