So would "piety of the emperors" be the meaning of what they are saying here?
So "piety" or "duty" and "security of the emperor" go together? Most of the word phrases I have seen were better related, not I'm not grateful...
My strategy is the buy from dealers and say to hell with the auctions. I have been driven to the limit in Heritage auctions so many times that I...

I think that it would certainly make it into an AU-50 holder today, if not an AU-53.
I forget about this 1883-O dollar. It is in an MS-63 ANACS holder. I won it in a coin club trivia contest. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Ms. Liberty's cheek...
Here is a the classic among doubled die coins, the 1955 doubled die obverse cent. Only the obverse is doubled. The reverse is normal. [ATTACH]...
Counterfeiters don't care what you think. All they want to do is rip you off. Thank you for posting this. I have added to my "virtual black...

This coin will never win any contests for beauty, originality or preservation, but it's an example of the 1801 Three Errors large cent. On a bad...
I have seen a few examples of the Breen Encyclopedia which have held together quite well. Northeast Numismatics had one of them. Maybe it was just...
WOW! That takes me back. First Coinvestors was run by a guy named Stanley Applebaum. What he sold was anything but "investment grade material."...

Since it's NGC, I'd say Proof-67 on the holder. The obverse is Cameo or close to it, but the reverse lets its down. I would say that it is...
I didn't think I had any MS-63 graded Morgans until I remembered this one. This 1878, 7 over 8 tail feathers in an NGC graded MS-63. This is the...
