That's an opinion we share. Seems CAC and NGC disagreed on the origin of the color. The 1840 was actually the one I dismissed immediately as a...
What a terrific coin. Tremendous strike, and (under the right light) color to die for. These images ought to be in the dictionary next to the term...
Don't ever change, Kurt. :)
That's my use case - not counting commissioned sales, I haven't sold 1000 units of my own over the past 17 years, and my offerings are usually in...
Can't blame them. $10 face of Morgans will wear a hole in your pocket right quick. A few years back I carried that for a while, and couldn't stand...
Only time will tell which of the (numerous) errors of this type on Modern coinage will retain any numismatic interest. Part of the cachet of an...
That might be grade-dependent, to a certain extent. Research indicates the Type C Reverse trades at a substantial premium, but too little...

OK, I've been a dummy for the last 17 years, then. I'm OK with that. :)
I understand, and it makes sense that it would work that way. That said, Ancients are a far different animal than a silver Dime, and are...
These only exist because there's a market, and they sell. Perhaps our derision ought to be directed not towards the people who fill the hole, but...
Well, it's not exactly S-VDB-level popularity; you can't really expect every LCS type to be expert on their identification. In fact, I'm actually...
That looks like heavy ghosting - I wonder if it wasn't just an absolutely terminal die state which was no longer capable of striking any better?...
With Lehigh96's information to go on - and he's a reference source for me :) - it sure looks like a Large S.
Well, the "extra letter" is pretty dang bold. :)
Not to be the Grinch, but isn't this a Lincoln thread? With that in mind, here's one which....didn't strike up well. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Separate names with a comma.
