I was raised properly. :) I fully intend to make sure my two small sons call everyone sir or ma'am as well. I agree in higher grades SL coins...
Depends on the grade and the surfaces sir. Without better photos I really cannot comment. The 54 is fairly popular because its a type coin, with...
Lol. Funny writeup. Many people do not understand how many of these nickels come with blackish types of toning.
I agree. I also see GC getting pretty strong prices, so overall sounds like a pretty decent setup for someone interested in selling raw coins for...
Sorry, but the glare is making it hard for me to grade. Based upon the reverse I am betting higher than Jello's grade, but I cannot be sure....

I am with you. I have every BMC ancient coin publication, all DOC, RIC, all Sear, all Mitchiner, Von Aulock, Copenhagen, etc etc. I have quite a...
Yes, the Red Book is a start for US coins. The prices are high of course, but it will list every US coin ever made. There is no such thing as red...
