Gorgeous coin.
Btw, I kid our friends from Britain and British colonies. I simply dislike the same pic over and over of some old lady taking up one whole side of...
More demand for US mint products, plus they both have 1 ounce net gold. If you weigh an eagle they will weigh more. In the US, only gold eagles...
Its an old joke. The oldest version I ever heard of it was "How do you make millions in aviation? Answer, start with billions". I bet you there...
Stuff like this seems cool, yet they are making more and more "specialty, (kind word), coins every year. Will they hold their value long term?...
Probably grade more like 68 or 69 unless I am missing something, (I am assuming the smudge above the L is on the airtite). I do not see anything...

True. Ebay and Paypal fees can eat you alive if you are unlucky on your auction. You can list them here for free at a price you are comfortable...
Its a different kind of collecting. The subject matter is endless, but to really get the best rewards from it you have to be interested in...
...and I bet you will have a lot more fun because of it sir. Nothing wrong at all with researching and knowing the going price of a coin, but to...
Yeah, having it slabbed is supposed to give confidence, but evidently not enough. So now we have CAC stickers for more confidence on a coin. I...
Kind of common really. I never understood local auctions. I have bought $1200 coins for $300 at times, and other times the same $1200 coin will...
