I reported it for the wacko listing. Why do I have the feeling that the 'winner' is going to receive an 1883-s in a WCG slab, with the seller...
I believe BG refers to the book on California fractional gold by Walter Breen and Ronald Gillio (copy for sale on ebay now for 150.00)
Nice coin, the corrosion is so evenly dispersed that I don't find it bothersome at all. Lots of 'character'.
Yeah, the description reads like it was written by someone out in lala land. Bidding is over $5400, I can only "hope" they are shills, because I...
I see a small mark near the corner of the mouth, and a couple of tiny ticks on the neck of Liberty. I think it's a 65, strike a bit better than...
Yes, I agree. Anyone who sells copies like these should mark them permanently as such, because eventually they may find their way back into the...
A seller with an old account and very limited activity until this august now has an AU 1893-s Morgan up for bid, the description is garbled and...
What really matters, of course, is if you are happy with your purchase, Steve. Currently, Numismedia Retail is about 175$ in AU53. Granted that...
David Lawrence always has nice Barber halves for sale/bid, some pretty ones up for auction now that ends Thursday night.
Yeah, I just bought another one, too. I really dig the shape of the 2's in the date, so I want an example of each one with a 2 in the date (crazy,...

Nice details on that, a great find!
The images I see look like the ones in "Making the Grade" labelled EF-45. Maybe it's your photos? I do see the cleaning cream residue, though.
Nice coin! I can't tell if there is rub or not, so imo AU58 or MS64. I hope you post some pix when it arrives. Looks like a good buy.
Good on ya, Craig!
It looks AU to me. Sliders of these can look so close to MS they can fool you, so I could be wrong. Personally, I do not see signs of cleaning. If...
It looks good to me, with a caveat: H.T. pointed out two spots on the obverse. If they are just little dings, ignore them. If they are raised...
Rusty, to my knowledge, there are no books on counterfeit trade dollars, unless they are privately published. The worst fakes are cast, the better...
I noted that Catbert's coin lacks a stop after "fine," this struck me as very unusual, so I decided to search the Heritage archives. I had to look...
That is just a really cool coin. I think of these as mass produced early folk art, with a really human element. Can't you see Delbert or whoever...
