In general, I don't think it is. Rare coins have a much larger buy/sell spread and a much thinner market than bullion. If you have done a lot of...
They should use the allegorical Liberty from the 1896 $5 educational note. Cool design, returns to the idea of Liberty rather than a tribute to a...
The key is whether they were contemporary counterfeits, made to circulate alongside the genuine item, or counterfeits made to deceive collectors....
I'd go at the goo around the arrows with a green rose thorn under a stereo microscope. The biggest problem for me is the rims.
Struck once at the mint, and the second time in someone's basement to make it look like an error. Sorry.
Neat picture of Heritage's photo room. The assembly line approach is what it takes to shoot as many coins as they do in the time they do it....
These sell on regularly Heritage for between $4900 and $5500. One did sell for over $9000 recently, but at least two people must have thought it...
Took a look at the Vlack die marriage chart for these. Looks like die pair 6-N. Here's the chart: [img] And here's a high-grade one from the...
AU55-58 at best. Those three lines in the field behind the cap by ITED could be scratches that land this on in a bodybag. Sell raw.
There's no period/stop after MASSACHUSETTS on this coin, and all the other coins I've looked at have it. I'm not an expert on these, so maybe...
VAMs are cataloged at the die level, not the hub level. Since this hub was used to make several dies, several VAMs have the features of the I2...
There are two different obverse hub variations for the 1878 8TF. The I1 has an M that looks like an M. The I2 obverse has an M that is a little...
Well, I was going to guess 64 across the board. The obverse of the Barber quarter must have some nasty problems, because the reverse sure looks...
If they were shipped registered mail, you can ignore the expected delivery date. It's also not uncommon for these packages to "go dark" on...
Squeezed in a vice or with a vice grips. I'm hoping it's not a doubled die reverse.
This. Best thing to do if you don't want to or can't manually adjust exposure settings on your camera (phone?) is use a gray background. Also, a...
Welcome, and this is the best reason to be involved in the hobby. You think it's cool and you enjoy it. Keep that in mind. A small budget need...
According to the registry, Logan is at roughly 2000. Another collector has over 2700.
Rarity ratings for Morgan and Peace dollar VAMs work a little differently than do those for earlier series. Short story is that they're actually...
The detail and relief of classic designs can be made with today's equipment. There's incredible detail on some of the ATB quarters and look no...
Separate names with a comma.
