Rainbow toning on Morgan Dollars is a result of the coin coming in contact with the canvas bag for years, possibly decades. There is nothing...
Let me put that mistake in the proper perspective. I paid $5 for a Payday candy bar tonight at the poker table because I was hungry.
Huh?
What name calling? And arguments are never pointless, that is how we resolve differences.
Sounds like preaching to me dude. With regards to your three year rule, it is insane. There are phenomenal coins offered in every Heritage...
I also voted other. It isn't that I don't like the US Dollar designs, I do. However, I wish that the Washlady pattern would have made it to...
I am sorry if my response sounded a little harsh, but I want to clarify something. I absolutely respect your opinion to hate that coin and you...

I think we should edit your post to say most steel pennies are not worth much but they are cool as heck. You are simply not going to believe...
I don't know why, but I find toning patterns like the one on this Mercury just irresistible. I don't like mottled toning, but dappled toning with...
Please guess the grade of this NGC graded 1944-D Mercury Dime in the poll above. After casting your vote, please tell me how much of a premium...
While I agree that this coin does not really meet the criteria for the conceptual grade of AU63, the concept is sound. If you have never seen an...
My personal opinion is that they are AT, but I agree with Mike that without a firsthand look at them, I have to call them QT. However, I don't...
