I paid $250 for my Darius the Great, Carradice Type III, in 2013. I probably overpaid by a significant margin, but I really wanted it. [ATTACH]...
The holder probably says 64.
We get these types of questions somewhat often. How many coins do you own? What is the value of your collection? How many are certified? What's...
Somewhere between 200 - 300. Almost all of my collection is certified, with the exception of a Wheat cent set I'm building mostly-raw in an...
Great idea for a thread! 1881 S - 3.0 (purples and greens are great, but the mottled spot at the top rule out anything higher. Reverse toning...
Yes. The gold coins are incredibly unreactive, and humidity will not affect them. The silver coins are reactive - however, 2x2s are not...

1. Know what you're doing. 2. Don't expect to make much money, especially if you are "dealing" in pocket change like you have shown.
I believe your answer may lie in the wording of the final stamp "Final dividend under Trust of 1st May, 1841." I suspect when the bank was...
Is there a reason you chose 1883? Now it's time to start on the gold ;)
This was a fascinating read and well illustrated with beautiful coins. Well done!
This is perfectly correct. Especially with a zoom lens. I have an adjustable copy stand, and for small coins I often put the camera closer to...
Wow, that's a beautiful coin. Congrats.
