Back in 2007 when the President dollars began coming out (and the Mint was charged with doing eveything possible to encourage their circulation)...
Are you sure it's engrailed? From what I see it looks like it could be a milled right edge. And is thhat a penny token or a half penny? The...
As a rule the < MS-64 common date gold coins tend to follow the price of gold and to keep roughly the same percentage over spot. BUT, when gold...
The best FIRST reference on Large cents? The Redbook. If you decide you want to go deeper but still stay general, the early material in Penny...
