D'oh! The Mint is missing a big opportunity. Why not a Simpsons commemorative set? Think of the unusual design for the Marge Simpson coin. And the...
So the Mint can make a bunch of money from specially struck and packaged coins.
True, you didn't say it was a real coin. BUT You did say it was a coin! This is not a coin.
The 1918 Illinois Centennial commemorative coin has Lincoln on it. Any coins with Mt. Rushmore on them show Lincoln.
As I understand it, the Mint has contracted with Santa Claus to get the coins to the homes of the buyers (hey, he's got nothing else to do). When...
I did the state quarters, MS coins, business strike only. I'll include DC and the territories the same way. For the Nat'l Parks I'll pick what I...
Nice coins. St G's are always good. They tend to be the Morgans of gold coins with respect to interest. Your images are quite good. You may want...
I agree. I tend to think fingerprint rather than textile toning. Why? Because it's on the field which a finger can touch much more easily than a...
A common date in that grade should go for bullion value which means about $4.50 right now. And S&H makes it cost even more. Best Bet: If there's...

Hope you can attend. As a first show, you'll be starting off near the top. 500-1000 dealers. VERY impressive.
The grading info is good enough, but forget about the prices. Surf completed auctions on eBay for more accurate prices.
ERROR My cell phone number is 301-204-9182. (Hey, I don't call myself anymore since the phone is always busy when I do.) ;)
I know!!! It's a Chinese fake/counterfeit/copy/replica. Of what? Oh, well. If you're going to get tough on me, I quit! :rolleyes:
Using Logan's book here's what I've found. With a die chip in the lower loop the Valentine number is V-2. Rarity 2. With the lower loop filled...
Two choices: - Spend 5 or so years studying them until you can be 100% certain when you see a proof. - Buy PCGS or NGC slabs that indicate the...
Dollar coins will NOT circulate until the dollar bill is removed from circulation. It's that simple. Any dollar coin you put into circulation will...
