I got back from the Summer FUN show yesterday. It was a great show for me with probably more dealers there than ever before. One of the coins...
When you see milk spots, it is not a PR-70. It is my understanding that these things appear on recently minted coins. If that’s true, it’s a good...
You have an 1863 issue of the $5 Confederate note. The Confederacy issued 7,745,600 of these notes. The most interesting aspect of the 1863 notes...
If you mainly want buy silver, you don’t need to mess with graded ASEs. They only add to you cost of acquisition. Most of them are high grade in...
Let's hope that this is not "the modern" MS-65 or 66. It has significant marks on the face. No way that is a "Gem Unc."
Good catch! Winner, Winner! Sweet and Sour Chinese Chicken Dinner! In this case, it's all sour. It's really bad when you have to go into...
The previous picture really nails it. I don't have the software to make a tiny portion of the photo have that much detail.
It has a rough cheek, but it's also got a lot luster. The grade would be AU-55 if the Cheek doesn't bother you that much, or AU-53 if it does.
Looking at the obverse, it's quite obvious that this coin is bad. The surfaces have a grainy texture and the devices are not sharp as you would...
The worst thing about coin A are the many marks running down Ms. Liberty's arm. Given today's grading standards, you are dreaming if you think...
Coin B has the typical look for original surface Seated Dollars of this period. They spent most of their time in vaults were they got a lot of...
The 1795 Flowing Hair Dollar is not that scarce as early coins go. Unlike some things, they are always available for a price, which has increased...
It’s probably genuine, but when are you too lazy to take the item out of a plastic sleeve to take the photo to sell it? The pictures don’t tell...
BTW there were a few modest value markings on the early U.S. coins. Note the tiny "1/2" on the reverse of this 1796 half dollar. It didn't say...
The idea for the decimal system of coinage and money was actually hatched by Thomas Jefferson and Robert Morris circa 1782. Fortunately they held...
You don't sell a coin like this raw unless you are up to something or stupid. I bought this one a several years ago and then watched the price...
It amazes me that these people take the time to do this. I rate this with the junk phone calls I get all the time despite the fact that I am on...
Yes, they get banned.
Congratulations! Are you planning on holding on to it, or, like some collectors, get itchy fingers to sell it as soon as it's done?
Depending upon what you define as "US Coins," here are two. Oak Tree Shilling circa 1660 to 1667, despite the date "1652." [ATTACH] 1792 half...
