Here is Part Two The big news for coin collectors in 1968 was the resumption of Proof set production. From 1965 to 1967 the mint had issued...
@Kasia, here are a couple of articles that I wrote about the Kennedy half dollar some years ago for my local club. Obviously you won't want to...
The second medal, the William Henry Harrison piece, is a good item, to the right person, is worth some money. It is listed in DeWitt - Sullivan as...
Yes, the bid is up to $4,738.89. I had one that had been lightly polished and recolored with something that looked like shoe polish when I was a...

Interesting write-up, @Parthicus. I wish that I have could have "Scotty beam me down" to the Baltimore show and beam me back when I was done....
I have trying to read more on my British hammered coins. This is quite a task because many of them have mushy or missing letters that impossible...

I have no problem with the 1804 "Original" silver dollars. They were first made for diplomatic purposes, and a few more were made at the same...
Usually, it's only day or two. If a weekend gets involved, those weekend days will not count. If you try to submit a coin that is in someone...
