Nice details, but I have to agree with Hobo. Looks cleaned. And dull, probably from multiple cleanings. Guy~
I'm a bit of a book person, so anytime I find a book on coins or the Mint or gold, I buy it. Have over 60 books, some many years out of print and...
I think the only reason they bother with fractional gold coins is simply due to the allure of gold itself. Many gold coins are bought by people...
I agree. I thought it was a bit better than XF, perhaps a solid 60. Aside from the planchet discoloring, there doesn't seem to be any overly...
Kind of like how everyone calls the five cent coin a nickel or the ten cent coin (disme)a dime, both of which aren't the technical proper names. Guy~
No. Usually the look on my wife's face after I spend money on coins scares away any potential threats. Guy~
The obverse looks like it has substantial wear. All the diamonds are missing as far as I can tell from the pics, which leads me to conclude a XF...
Does look to be cleaned at one time. Guy~
Sadly, I think if the Mint saw that, they might contemplate trying it. 600+ years...thats the ultimate job security! Guy~
Haven't noticed. But, I've yet to encounter a single Sac dollar in circulation yet. I buy rolls of them once in a while and spend them around town...

Nice finds! I especially like the 1928. Guy~
Slabs add value to coins that people who don't know how, or don't wish to learn the grading of coins, wish to purchase. For the knowledgeable...
I like the $3 for a $1 modern coin. Anyone wanna trade me a fifty for a ten? Guy~
Hard to grade when you have the blue effect so bright. Post a normal colored pic. Guy~
I wouldn't pay a premium for any Morgan dollar that is slabbed, by anyone. There are no extreme rarities that would warrent so, in my opinion in...
Carl is right as far as finding up to date info, such as pricing, retail and info that changes on a day for day basis. But, I think as far as...
This site is nice: http://civilwartokens.com/ Guy~
I'd go with ASE's if all you want is accumulated bullion. I see them at pawn shops all the time at bullion price and no markup. Guy~
I agree with Doug. Besides, if you're going to spend the $30 on the case, whats another $10 on some airtite holders to protect your collection in...
