Depending on how you want to look at it, it could be either of those. But in most cases when somebody says they cherry picked a coin it is not a...
By most folks' reckoning that is the only one. However, the Washington quarter when it was introduced in 1932, was a commemorative.
It is a nice coin Amanda and an interesting piece. It is however not particularly scarce and I would say it is over-priced to say the least. It is...
Just to make sure that I am understood correctly, I do not in any way think the coin that started this thread is AT. But anyone who thinks that...
I paid $1800 for it Jason. Today, it would probably sell for 5 or 6 times that.
This one. At the time I bought it (in a large, open and very popular auction) there were 2 or 3 known to exist. But the coin was not properly...

Your point is quite valid, and I would be the last person in the world to disagree. But that really has nothing to do with the discussion at hand....
I believe this is what you want. It will cost you a whopping $4 ;) http://www.vcoins.com/ancient/ane/store/viewItem.asp?idProduct=3043
I will readily agree with you that when it comes to grading more leniency is given to large coins than is given to small coins when it comes to...

They are not really flow lines, they are (metal flow) wear lines. It's often a very confusing issue for people because they do not realize there...
