That RPD is cool. Unfortunately, from your picture, that Kennedy does not look like a true no initials coin. It appears to be a strikethrough...
I very much like both of these NT quarters, and agree with Doug's tabbed folder assessment. Very nice!
Thanks, Doug. I think I forgot to change the links when I posted this article here.
If you won this at auction, you have absolutely no basis, grounds, or right to return it simply because you paid to much. I find this absolutely...
You paid about an average price. The Redbook is not a reliable price guide. I love Franklins, as I'm sure you know. I hope that piece looks better...
$25 is at the high end of what I would look to pay for these. The Red book cannot be relied upon for value. 69DCAM is pretty much the standard...
No I don't, Cheetah. I have had a chance to read a copy of one issue though, and it was quite informative. Keep in mind, however, that I know...
I am a member of the ANS, and quite enjoy their quarterly magazine. Its worth the price of membership for that alone. Their collection is...

DimeGuy, the signature is the little bit of everyone's post below the line, above the buttons. But don't worry, I'll give you another link:...

Leadfoot, that proof is very attractive, but it has a completely different look. It does not look spotty, like the first coin. Your blues are much...
Rick is a great guy (I met him at FUN this year, and he autographed my copy of his book), and he has great coins - but he likes to charge a very...
That's a great point, Doug. I'm sure you already have it, but for those who don't, I highly recommend Tomaska's "Cameo and Brilliant Proof Coinage...
As I said down the road (NGC boards), I believe that 44S is pretty much my favorite Jeff I've ever seen you post.
