It’s a nice touch, but Americans have objected to it when the designers did it on regular issue U.S. coins. The CWTs were different. For the...
If you want to make sure that the coin is GENUNINE, SEGS and the other firms that were mentioned will get that right. If you want a coin where the...
Yep! It looks like "the orange hoodie" has been replaced by "the maid service." It's too bad you didn't download a picture.
They were struck. Casting is the stock and trade for counterfeiters. Striking coins is faster once you have quality dies, and the resulting coins...

The coin has a dull washed out look. It's not the sort of thing that CAC normally stickers.
I think that they will. There are many collectors who think that CAC walks on water, and so far they have a reputation among dealers for being...
You might have enough original mint surface and luster left to make Mint State, but the photos lead me to doubt it. This one is part of my EF-AU...
There are people who collect these things, and sometimes they become quite valuable among those who collect them. Since I view the grading...
I recently purchased this As of Nero, but I have been able to find it the Sear book or ever Wildwinds. Does anyone known anything about it?...

I heard one dealer say at the recent Tampa show that he was charged one price for a Morgan Dollar grade and more, $50, if the same type of coin is...
I have two Gobrecht dollars. The only way that I can show you the die rotation orientations is to create them with photos and computer created...
I would say altered date. It's been fooled with. I was expecting to see a pattern coin.
I think that the photos are way over exposed. For that reason, I won't say "cleaned." The sharpness grade is lower end AU.
If you are willing to collect these coins in grades like MS-61, this might be your time. I saw some in PCGS MS-61 holders at the recent Tampa show...
I went and enjoyed it. But I figure this will be the first and last one. The public attendance was poor. A lot of the national dealers with whom...
There are instances of where the dies rotated to other positions while some of these coins were struck. Therefore there are "tweeners." One theory...
Here is a quick lesson on the four die rotation alignments that have been laid out for the Gobrecht Dollars. Learned this in words in hard....
