Love the look of this one. 65RB.
Call this one 64RB.
Turn the question around and ask it slightly differently: are coins and sets from a hundred years ago more desirable with their original...
Rare will almost always outperform common, in terms of collectibles. However, proof eagles are definitely not rare, and have little chance of...
Its better to collect coins because you like them. Don't consider them as an investment.
For $500, you can get a really nice CBH. The later dates (1829-1836) will be cheaper, and you can definitely get a nice EF-45 to AU-53 for your...

I mailed the package Monday, so the answers won't be here for a couple of weeks. The 70D is borderline PL - it will get at least the Star for...
Thanks for the guesses everyone! For the record, here's what I think: Jefferson - 65PL 68D #1 - 64PL 68D #2 - 65PL 70D - 64* with a 50/50 shot...
Chopmarks and countermarks are damage.
Try to find one with semi-pl surfaces. They are far more attractive, although somewhat tricky to find. If you can't find one of those, look for...
