@baseball21 I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume this comment came from a place of ignorance. I am a very dedicated instructor at a...
I just received the same notification. I was awarded a scholarship to attend this year's Summer Seminar. This would have been the first time I was...
The Selgin (2011) reference I have cited throughout this post is the 4th edition of the same book; however, my copy makes no mention of Goodhart....
@Paul M. I have found the 1D pieces to be reasonably priced (especially the 10 leaves variety). The 2D pieces are hit and miss, but finding a nice...
Up next is a 1699 1/2 Penny [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I am so sorry. I fell behind. This one ended up grading F-12. I had marked this one down as a VF-20 based on other graded examples in my...

Up next is a 1797 Great Britain Soho Penny. This is a pretty low-grade example of an otherwise common coin, can anyone guess why I submitted it?...
I unexpectedly won this coin at an auction last year, and although it is not as nice as most examples I have been offered since, I paid relatively...
I picked this coin up a few months ago and forgot about it until I stumbled upon it today. I was just curious to see what you all thought about...

There weren't nearly as many participants this time around, but both of you were reasonably close. I had this listed as a PF-65 RB in the...
I hope this does not constitute "spam" as this is my third consecutive post, but what do you all think about this one? 1920 Canada small Cent...
I picked up a couple of raw proof Indian Cents that I just got around to taking photos of. The images do not portray this, but the 1905 is...
