Well, from grading seminars held by the same top-level folks who do the actual grading (I'm talking the top 2-3 TPG's on each side of the border)...
cpm9ball ... My comments on proof coins dealt specifically (as I put in the sentence) proof "bullion" coins. If you are finding proof bullion...
It is uncommon to see die cracks that travel through the design elements of a coin .. not unheard of, but uncommon. The design elements are...
I live in Canada, go to lots of coins shows, and participate in many coin site discussion forums. This topic has been covered ad infinitum for...
Some more on the "model series"
There are still many with the gold coin intact, but maybe not in the US. When gold peaked (or seemed to peak) a few years ago, many sold the gold...
As "coleguy" stated, you do not, and should not, have to send in coins to be certified to sell. Most post-WWII coins, silver or not, will cost...

I can read "NIPA" to the upper left of the hat. It looks like some type of commemorative token with a colonial gent. Penn had a few of something...
I'm not a big fan of any TPG and, due to inconsistencies in the last couple years, ICCS would be on the bottom of my list. They have certified...
Does not appear to be cob ... it looks like it's bronze, not copper and it's not marked like a cob. It could be roman or medieval.
It looks real to me and pretty spectacular.
I think that our multimillion dollar seller is the guy you picture meandering down the street with tin foil and copper wires hanging off his head...
You have to look at the "U-Tube show" link in the post before mine. It's not a dead horse ... 1977 pennache is dead but the 1995 11 cent piece is...
Cardinals in 7, 4-2 with Carpenter the winner. I've been a Cardinals fan since 1956. Growing up in the Midwest, we had Cardinals games on the...
