What you show is all relatively modern, circulated, and quite common. These pieces are essentially pocket change, and worth basically face value.
Ouch. Wow.
Strike: Appears well struck. There is none of that "planchet roughness" BS on his jaw, and the columns are all clear. Luster: Appears to be quite...
Your question is way too vague. Do you want to know about prices? Do you want to know if anyone else collects them? Do you want to know about the...
I think 58 is generous. Your pictures clearly show a circulated coin. I would not have been surprised by a 55 or 53 (although 53 is not used...
Are there any books with a more long-term historical perspective? I try to avoid books that were written during (or shortly after) the events...
I see you talk a lot about your high-grade Jeffersons. If this is the quality you're putting into your album.... I'd like to see a bit more of that!
It isn't terribly important, just curious. I'm just wondering since you mentioned it. I guess I'm interested because many collectors avoid...
Could you be more specific as to a date? Could you explain why that date is what you chose? Was there some major political or technological...

I really can't say I'm sorry to see a shuckster go out of business. Those con-men ripped off thousands of people and stole so much money it...
I guess I just assumed that you were bidding on this lot, as one of the crown jewels of your AV collection ;) Can't wait to see you post your newp!
I sometimes wonder how accurate those portraits are. Because, those are some seriously ugly dudes. And that hair! Oy vey! The reverse double...
Nah, you didn't offend anyone. We're just trying to help you make better posts so that we can help you better. Keep asking questions, keep looking...
And this is why I encourage everyone to learn to grade. You can find good coins in bad holders. But, you have to know how to grade for yourself....
Well, I wasn't born yet. So no, I don't remember it.... But I've heard plenty of tales.
What is a "modern" German to you? This is always an interesting discussion with countries that have struck coins for hundreds/thousands of years.
Grading this coin is like grading any other coin: figure out what the high points are, look for wear. Judge luster, strike, marks, problems, eye...
I'll go $610 on the gold!
The crispness of the strike is a clear indicator that this is a true proof. A business strike will never have that sharpness. Even a prooflike...
