Just attended a presentation by John Frost, current President of the Barber Coin Collector's Society, about counterfeits, including contemporary...
I'll try to remember to stop by. Chatted with John Frost for a while today about eBay and counterfeits; he gave a great presentation on Barber and...
Holy cow! That's a long trip. It is a good show this year, though; hope you find enough to make it worth your while! ANACS doesn't have such a...
I find, to my considerable surprise, that I kind of am interested in embarrassing eBay. I spoke to a noted collector at a large show this...
The Raleigh Money Expo's educational exhibits this year include a study of date frequencies in cents and quarters pulled from circulation. It's a...
Time to head off to the 2015 Raleigh Money Expo (once again, a bit too late to be there for the ribbon-cutting). This time, I'm hauling a small...

I find myself wondering how the grader must feel about typing the "BROWN" designator for a coin like that. It's the only choice, of course, since...
I'd say "entirely" unknown; he has no feedback as a seller. Three 1914-D cents, along with a bunch of junk-drawer items, does seem like an odd...
