If I could find a copy for $200 or less, I would snap it up. The two copies I bid on quickly went to over $350. I would be interested in vol.1,...
Looks really nice from here, Ryan! I will only caution that the Indian gold coins are heavily forged, and some of them are very good! I don't have...
The older, green label PCI holdered coins have a good reputation, the later, gold label ones do not. A classic case of "buy the coin,not the...
The obv. fooled me too! A nice way to preserve a large chunk of silver, they couldn't have picked a better design, imo.
very nice, attractive coins! A question: are the CC's in the mintmark on the 93 of different fonts? Looks like it in the photo. just curious.

Hello Frank, thanks for your last post above. I really don't feel "slammed," I feel that you cleared things up for me about that coin. I expressed...
thanks Huntsman, the additional images are very helpful, I agree that the areas on the edge are from damage, because now I can see some bulging of...
I think they are a great group of coins. I also really like the silver half dollar obverse design, but they always sell for moon money. Congrats...
