I have a problem with the bible as number one, unless they are talking about the Guttenburg bible and the invention of movable type. Is the...
Good idea. My son will be a little over 2 at the time as well. My only other concern would be why do they have to have it and NYINC at the...
Sounds like a great time was had by all. Sometimes I wish I were an east coaster to make such trips easier. I have tried to meet up with more CT...
I know what ad that is, and I agree its completely deceptive. They show a buffalo gold coin from the US mint and then try to allude their POS is...
I guess I just don't see the danger. A coin is not strictly just the metal, it also internally conveys the method of manufacture. I simply do not...
I would agree with coinage being in the top two. Coinage completely changed power structures, funding of governments, how marketplaces...

I especially love the reverses of the Libertads. I know, I must be the only person who bought that coin because of the depictions of the eagles...
Sorry, Wiley Bugert, its the best for Seated Liberty halves. Its one of the series I used to collect when I did US coins. It was just an example,...
But even when it was written it was not the definitive work on any field. Its more like a redbook on steroids, good if you have only one book....
Well if its a proof, my vote is it could be natural. 19th century copper proofs CAN tone this color. There are written accounts of blue proofs...
I find it an extremely nice coin. I can see why you bought it leadfoot. Yes most likely it was cleaned but cleaned well and most well cleaned...
