Good job. I would agree with the OP that both the 55 dd and 22 Plain are errors. If you want a completely different change of pace, try...
I would consign them to an auction if you are not in a rush to get the money. Usually auctions return the best value for higher end coins. Not to...
Good information, but it is a good price regardless. If the OP doesn't want it, I am sure there are people here, including me, who would buy it. I...
To me, this is inevitable really, and the problem with relying on the TPG business model. They need to continuously have a reason to generate more...
I think Mark was talking about which Overton variety.
Since I have not heard of a circulation S from that year, I would first suspect an impaired proof and circulation wear changed the look of the one...
Obviously cleaned, maybe more than once. Do not fret since many if not most were. Looks like a good buy for the price, I would buy it if you...
Doug, I was just wondering if you have had a chance to read the article and what you thought. It just really saddens me that grading has come to...

Archeologists are horrible coin collectors and cleaners for the most part. Archeologists stand on the backs of coin collectors who have dated the...

Fair enough, I wouldn't buy it unless in hand as well. I was just referring to swirls or circles of toning, which I have on some seated and capped...
You sure Doug? The circle on the obverse corresponds to where the smaller fields opens up to a larger field, (not sure if I am explaining it...
I agree with Kryptonite that I have seen multiples of this toning. Looks like folder or mainla envelope toning.
To the OP, I would suggest what others have, you start as a vest pocket dealer and not worry about "inventory" The biggest thing is knowledge. You...
^^ This. If I can continue to learn without buying another coin I might, but buying the coins gives me the "kick in the rear" to learn more about...
I have always liked the Tetrarchy coins. I don't have many but have been meaning to get more. I just love the art nouveau look of the post reform...
Good point. There is a shady dealer in XXXXXXXXX, (X'ed out to protect the guilty), who got caught because of serial numbers. The police went to...
