Point made and taken, Doug. There are technical uses for the "industry specific" jargon used in business. When used in the context of that...
it is also missing the diagnostic weak Ns on the reverse which, fortunately for us, makes it easy to debunk as a counterfeit
I love you Doug, did you know that??? LOL And I mean that with all sincerity. I love that we can go back and forth as we have (for years now) and...
Doug, I have (and you know I have) read those two books as well as several others. I read a lot. In fact, I own more books on coins than on any...
unfortunately, Doug, and this is not to say that I disagree in any way, but the TPGs are not allowed to invent definitions of words that already...
I'll take that to be in reference to me, Doug?
Most key dates are at a value far beyond their bullion melt value and so the changes in prices of metals have very little to do with the value of...

what happens if (and I stress IF) a REAL 1964-D surfaces and is unable to be confiscated by the US Govt. or is monetized for some obscure reason?...
I have been collecting for almost 40 years and can tell you that in the past I have dealt both with Littleton but also with buyers of coins from...
awesome coins, Charmy! I could get lost in your pennies some days... *sigh*
glad to help! I collect modern stuff and the one thing that seperates the good stuff from the so-so stuff is luster. I don't mean that the coin is...
I would, however expect to pay around $40 for a nice uncirculated 49-S
I don't like it. The coin has virtually no luster left. There are plenty of nice examples out there and the premiums on Roosevelts in general are...
