Yeah, it looks like it. I'm going to try to remember to check out the series.
Not generally a fan of inlaid coins, but I think I've gotta go look for THAT design...
I knew I liked the dollar design, but wasn't that impressed with the gold. But I looked at that reverse photo of the gold, and I swear I felt the...
But you can usually tell whether a coin started out as a proof or a circulation strike, even when it's sustained some wear or damage. Squared...
Yeah, "cameo" originally means "having sharp contrast between foreground/subject and background". You see it in modern proofs, and some classic...
That seems a little bit like complaining about all the Matchbox cars that would have been super-valuable if not for stupid kids playing with them...
Maybe, if you massage the definition of "valuable" enough. But there are still lots of jars, cans, and old Whitman folders out there that were...
And yet, that original packaging -- especially early cellophane wrappers -- has caused so many coins to tone unattractively. As best I can tell,...
I kinda feel like the "CoA" is a bogus concept to begin with. Oooh, a slip of paper! I'm sure it's always been just an inch or two away from this...

I've had several. The worst part is skipping meals the day before. I wake up afterward, eat a big meal, and go on about my life. The first couple...
Coin sorting machines sure do kick out silver -- not always, and not all of them, but reliably enough that it's pretty common to find silver in...
And they made a lot of collectors happy in the days that followed. It's the Circle of Numismatic Life...
I don't have a particular date threshold, but I save nickels in general because it's a compulsion. I would've saved this one anyhow, because (a)...
Sitting on my desk, from pocket change I believe... [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Get used to lots and lots and LOTS of P-mint coins, some D, and almost never any S. What was the distribution like when you were hunting on the...
Okay, now you've got me curious. I wonder if CAC has ever beaned a coin in a PCGS or NGC Details slab? I really didn't expect CACG to slab...
They appear to be a ones-hit wonder. (I may have either misspelled or mis-punctuated something there, but I can't quite put my finger on it.)
Separate names with a comma.
