I have thought about doing a date set of large cents. I knew that the 1799 and 1804 would make that a serious challenge (I have two 1793s), but I...
I don't think that it has ever been dipped. It has some of the haze that these coins got from the original sleeves in which they were shipped. I...
I collect Confederate paper money now and then. I'd like to get all 70 of the genuine varieties from 1861 to 1864, but that's never going to...
I only have a minor interest in die state collecting at best. So far as collecting early copper, I think that it hurts the hobby. I used to...
I have been kicking around the idea of completing the Proof sets from 1936 to 1942. I have the 1936 and '42, but few sets in the middle. The...

The three cent piece with the New York State Seal are the only affordable examples at a bit over $1,000.
The coins all appear to grade AU with one possible Mint State piece, the 1902. The condition is way above average for a family hoard. Someone must...
The old green label holder is a plus. CAC should accept it.

Here are the three metal varieties of the Philadelphia Sanitary Fair tokens. The sanitary fairs were fundraisers that were held to buy cleaning...
Mint marks have proved to bad news for certain coins because their presence met that the coins would never circulate. Look at issues like the...
I have three. 1864 Large Motto [ATTACH] 1864 Small Motto [ATTACH] And this 1870 is left over from set I put together over 40 years ago. A...
The short answer is indirectly. Christian Gobrecht created an American version of the seated Britannia. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Who took their...
It must be the number of Proofs minted. It is always an even number. Raw sales figures could never be that consistent unless the mint makes X...
It looks like whatever they are using to clean the planchets is not working. Since that’s a 2021 dated coin, it must have turned almost at the...
If the mint wanted to have a flying eagle, they should have for the Gobrechet Dollar design.
EBay poofed it, so I guess it was bad.
I went against the grain. I bought Confederate currency (all 1861 series notes), ancient coins and only a couple of U.S. pieces. I had one dealer...
Thank you very much. I am looking forward to seeing you in January!
