FUN, Central States, ANA, one or two smaller ones. With my daughter moving to Pasadena for grad school, I may add a Long Beach show to the mix.
Probably, but there's not much reason to try.
Glad you passed on the first one. As has been said, too expensive for what it is. The pricing is pretty flat on this up to XF. Seller was...
64PL 5FS Bacon+*! The reverse holds it back, for a change.
Really nice coin! I was torn between 65 and 66 on this one, but went with 65. The only marks are little ticks, fields are very clean, strike is...
because 1887 G$1 = 1887 Philadelphia Gold dollar
Probably cleaned, but not harshly.
TPGs receive palettes of monster boxes of ASEs for grading at a time. While I've never toured a TPG, I will bet you a dollar to a donut that...
Fixed it for you.
Yup. Comparing with a nickel, which is roughly the same diameter, 1 mm thinner, and 1.1 g heavier, you have an alloy about half as dense, so...
The detailed timeline is a new level of transparency that we're not used to seeing. Going backward a stage probably means someone had an...
Hopefully the mint doesn't start putting out so much reverse cameo (I also hate the term "Reverse Proof") material that you burn out on it or feel...

Yes. The seller's adding 1799 to the title was a feeble attempt at keyword spam.
That's a nice coin! Very clean, "creamy" cheek is the first thing that hits you. Clean fields, some minor issues at the tip of the bust, reverse...
Gut feeling is F-VF. George has the details of a VF, the other side F. The planchet seems to be pretty nice, despite a little roughness around...
Buy certified from a reputable dealer. There are enough in low grades that you will be able to choose the one you like best. Look at several...
The coin above is a solid AU55, hence the bean. Black, smudgy bits on lightly circulated, and even some uncirculated, $20 Libertys are typical....
That seller has a roll of 1974 cents he says is rare. Since the coin in question is "extremely rare," then it's gotta be worth twice as much as...
I was going to say 40 on this one. 45 should be pushing AU, and have some hints of luster, and I don't see it on this coin. Here's a 45 with a...
Separate names with a comma.
