Thomas Cleveland is a well known US mint designer. And if memory serves he did design the reverse of the Sacagawea dollar (Sac dollar). He may...
No doubt. But he did say it was meaningful to him. And that often trumps cost. And if the intent of meaningful is that the coin will remain in the...
I so enjoy your posts.
@C-B-D ..... It is us that should be asking YOU this question. If I was questioning the relevance of submitting one of my coins, you are the guy I...
If I had one coin that I wanted slabbed... I would go see my local dealer and ask him to include it with his submissions. That would be your most...
They appear toned from being plugged into a book of some sort for an extended time. That cardboard black toning that isn’t very appealing to look...
Totally very guilty of buying on impulse. I can go into my guys shop with one goal in mind and something glitters at me behind the glass case and...

Welcome, Masterswimmer. Your arithmetic is spot on. And it is a fact, those of us that hold PM's do love the glimmer of silver and gold. I hold a...
I can’t add anything more to what the fellows have already said. I collect coins specifically because I want to hold history in my hands....
Oh I already did that. When I saw his interest I picked up this MS62 common date Morgan. I think the boy slept with it last night. [ATTACH]
Visiting family back home this week. I have lit a young numismatic fire in my grandson. Some years ago I gave him a very, very worn Morgan when he...
Absolutely spot on answers to your question. Surprisingly, these old Cobbs are not that hard to find and many are quite affordable. There are also...
