The coin you have in that spot is the reduced quarter, which was stuck in a closed collar. It had a smaller diameter. The one that might fit there...
Could you image the scandal if something like this had been issued in the 19th century with Queen Victoria on the other side?
I find the regular cameo Proof coins to be quite attractive. I don’t care for the reverse Proofs. I guess I am used to the days 40 years ago when...
@ SwineOfTroyers said “Some believe that LBJ may have played a role in Kennedy’s assassination.” Yes, back in the day there was a silly play...
Johnson was a sort of forgotten man in the Kennedy administration. From what I have read, the Kennedy people offered the vice presidential...
Yes, it seems that Heritage has a pool of bidders who ignore the buyers fees and the sales tax if it applies. I don’t understand their logic, but...
Two factors: 1. Heritage seems to get strong bids for just about everything. I have bought a number of lots there, but they have never been...
When I was working my type set, before slabs, I used to concentrate on finishing one denomination, like the quarters or half dollars. It felt like...
I have a 1795 half cent which shows a lot of TAL cent undertype. When I can post pictures again, I’ll post it. Interesting write-up and...
Capital Plastics holders are great when the coins don’t rattle. The trouble with the generic stock models like this one is that the coins often...
That is far too many qualifications for me. Finding the right coin for me is hard enough.
I could see it going into an MS-61 holder, but would that make a difference? MS-60 has traditionally been a rare and odd ball grade. On a...
I have never seen an encased gold coin, and I have been active for over 60 years. But, then again, I have never been an active collector or dealer...
I now have Proof sets from 1936 to date, with dates missing when they weren’t issued, of course. I limit myself to the new silver Proof set each...
It looks like the typical 1898-O treasury hoard coin to me. These coins were stored in bags when the air couldn’t get to them. Most of them were...
I have almost gotten over my addiction to new U.S. products. I am down to a silver Proof set per year, and maybe a commemorative set, but I must...
I think that it is a very nice MS-63. Here’s little trivia for you. Back in the early 1960s the 1898-O was a better date that sold for a few...
The problem with that theory is that this piece is in the medieval style which was earlier in his reign. Later the mint issued the profile coinage...
Does anyone know way a pair of keys were placed on either side of King Henry VII's portrait on this two pence? I have not been able to find...
The last I knew they were standard dealer cases that are 3 inches deep. I would not use your own cases because they require you to drill holes in...
