The mint still makes more profit form seigniorage than from collector coins, but not by much. The mint is still required to break even on the...
Actually I believe he pulled all the listings himself. I checked the completed auctions and there were a bunch of fake Indians there and on each...
If you consider a die crack to be an error, then almost every shield nickel is an error coin. I don't see die cracks as errors, they are just an...

The circular obverse crack through the stars is almost diagnostic of the N-10. N-8 also has a similar crack through the stars but they are not...
I think PCGS is crazy. I looked at the images of the reverse on my laptop (so I could pick it up and rotate it clockwise 90 degrees) so I could...

Separate names with a comma.
