I've tried to limit myself based on shelf space. I have a handful of signed books. Off the top of my head, I have a hardbound 3rd edition VAM...
At minimum a bubble mailer. Add a stiffener to these in the firm of a Saf-t-mailer or cardboard sandwich. When using free USPS boxes, pack them so...
I'll send a link to my personal contacts there.
It's not. 1922 comes well struck. The light polishing is having the effect of accentuating the contrast, and thus the design detail, a bit.

With Lowly Worm making an appearance on all of them?
Holy crap. I was just joking on the PCGS forum a couple days ago that the US Mint was going to produce "The 26 Letters Quarters™" once the...

By dumb luck I had 5 on my desk at once, when only 5 were known, all in one submission that was sent to me. The submitter didn't know. The...
The even pitting all over the devices is rather common for the early 1880s, even on early die states. There's an 1881-O reverse used with six,...
That is correct. Here it is. [ATTACH]
Short answer: Coins won't tone each other, although gunk on the coins (removable with acetone) should be removed. The long answer will be...
No. The first small dollar pattern was Gasparro's flowing hair Liberty obverse and flying eagle reverse, made in 1977. The only Ike small...
Sure looks like old adhesive or varnish. If it doesn't come off, spend it. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that never in the history...
