I gave up searching for silver about two years ago. There was a time when there was a reasonable chance of finding some. Then, fairly suddenly,...
If you are just starting out, I don't know if Littleton or Ebay are good places for you to buy. One is overpriced and the other is a shark tank....
I would suggest that an index could be constructed by taking one or two fairly high end coins and one or two circulated coins for each type. The...
Nice columbian. It's at least XF and maybe AU, hard to tell from the photo. The 92 seems more difficult to find than the 93.
I"m sorry about your grandmother. When I read the post above, it doesn't sound similar to your first post. What happened to the 1872 silver...

I generally only save silver and cents from 1981 or earlier.
I have one observation/suggestion. When you talk about the reverse being not as nice as the barber halve, you are expressing an opinion....
I tend to agree, although the coin may turn out to be about the right price for the unique design. My only complaint would be that they varied...
