And if there is too much pressure on the slab when the welding occurs it is possible for some of the plastic to extrude out as a fin along the...
This is the first I've ever heard of a two coin bicentennial set. My sources say that 15 million 40% silver coins of each denomination were...
As far as I know there aren't. Both Kagin and Jonathan Kern (BA in Numismatics) earned their degrees at Liberal Arts colleges which at the time...
That 1854 dollar is also the first of the Chinese fakes I have seen to be marked COPY instead of REPLICA.
Correct.
$50 could be considered an historic denomination. They did make pattern $50 in 1877 and then there were the $50 Pan Pacific coins. The $50...
Worst case senario is that the demand for the bullion pieces spikes and they have to again start rationing which would require them to again...
Well they've learned that it has to have a denomination in order to sell to colectors as a coin. They are NOT interested in having the coin...
No,they didn't but about a month ago they managed to get ahead of the orders for the bullion pieces, no more rationing. That meant they were...

Too heavy to be on a dime planchet (2.27 grams) and too well struck and struck to the full diameter. Post mint plated.
Genuine 1799/8 B-1 variety R-2. Possibly lightly cleaned long ago. I think the sharpness grade is actually better than claimed and much of the...
Is it really that surprising?
Let's go one step beyond what Doug has said. Since the 70's bring so much more money, everyone goes over the modern stuff and ships anything they...
Apparently none of you were collecting back in late 1979/early 1980. If the metals stay high or keep going up you will find this behavior will...
Written 198 years before in 1814. (Set to the music of a British drinking song it became our national anthem in 1931.)
Who says you have to get caught up in one year? As I see it you need six sets for each of them to be caught up. So you buy the 2010 and the 2005...
Sure, XF details, porous planchet with a ragged clip as made. Average color but with some edge damage on the reverse at 8:00 - 9:00. Net Fine...
