The 1909-S-VDB is not one of those coins that you buy raw unless you know exactly what you are doing.
It is interesting to note that Eisenhower’s reputation as president has been consistently going up since he left office. When he finished his...
If genuine, it’s an MS-64 or 65 and probably bright enough to make the Red color. There are so many fakes of this coin, I hesitate to say it’s...
It was the only time when both the President and Vice President resigned. John C. Calhoun resigned the vice presidency in 1832 so that he could...
Oh I forgot. I should also post a Bryan -Sewell jugate from 1896. This was the first year that the modern campaign button was issued during a...

The coin is bogus and the holder must be bogus. If you check the NGC verification site, there is a picture of the coin in that holder, and it's...
