My most recent purchase is an 89-CC Morgan in VG10. It's a nice coin, very wholesome and eye-appealing. Any other mint and I wouldn't conpider it...
Without doing proper research, I can only assume that the reason behind putting the P mint mark on everything but cents starting in 1979-80 is...
I sure wish these were two-sided, especially the 1900. 1900 is super-rare in DMPL. I guess their die swapping was never synchronized favorably...
Wholesome 89-CC newp! [IMG]
Addressing what is realistic in terms of strike, the 1921 Peace dollars you see on the cover of the book should not set your realistic...
I don't have anything more recent than 1951, although I'm considering getting a nice, 73-S Ike. Going back in time is becoming challenging. I'm...
I have but one US Trade Dollar in my collection for my Prime Number Set: [img] 4 British ones, though.
No. While all die cracks are die defects, not all die defects are die cracks.
Regarding the cent, it's probably a filled die, but just for kicks, what does the reverse look like? The rim near LIBERTY seems indistinct in the...

Use the 10% rule that is advised when saving treasures the little ones make or bring home from school. Of your junk coins, pull out 10% and make...

In general, die markers (other than breaks) close to the rim are unreliable because of the way a die wears. If I'm looking to confirm that two...
I'm feeling XF for this one.
I got off to a bit of a late start with this, but I'm now taking orders for my 2017 coin calendar. $15 (includes shipping in the US) gets you a...
It may be listed in one of the Seated Liberty Half Dime attribution guides (Valentine, Blythe), although I don't think these are collected by...
To clarify, Ike's have their own variety numbering system (DIVa) established by The Ike Group for their exclusive use. I can't find much more...
Nothing to see there, at least not from here. If you ever think you have a RPM on a modern type, go to varietyvista.com and look at the RPM...
Ummm... there's no premium for this variety. Like the 91-CC Spitting Eagle, it's one of the most common varieties for this date. If you want a...
