Very interesting. The first I've ever seen. Authenticated like that it ought to be worth a bunch. But never having seen one before I've no idea...
That $5 note is VERY interesting. IMO WELL worth getting slabbed. The other two are interesting. Matching serial numbers AND star notes catch the...
Based on the value of a Bitcoin it's certainly worth looking into.
A TPG might not slab that coin. Their position would be that the dark toning could be hiding an old cleaning. I once had an 1894 that couldn't...
Zinc is a rather reactive metal especially when moisture is involved. And an acidic environment would be worse. The only reason they are lasting...

I'm not familiar with NN but I know CW has gone downhill over the years. Back in the 1970's it used to be weekly newspaper tabloid size and in...
IMO it's overgraded. Too much "noise" on the obverse, particularly on the cheek. But I'm known as a technical grader, not a market grader so that...
And you can meet Rick Snow at the Baltimore Whitman shows. He always has a table. Next show 25-28 Oct.
Two new coins. Okay, not new. I already had them but I sent them to NGC to have the Browning Number added to the label. 1832 Quarter, Browning-2,...
