No, you said "It's only a gram light" I think you might have meant 0.1 grams light? ;)
Well, in that case then I have no idea!
The cherrywood box is nice. Those are the names of 4 hoards - but there is absolutely no traceability back to the original hoard. Redfield was...
I don't know what you misread in the OP, but there is no world where a US coin is allowed to be off by a full gram! That is ridiculous....
Good job! Here's my additions/changes to your thoughts: 1949S - The weakness to the left of the bell crack means no FBL. While there are...
Well, they are Maundy coins. These usually come with a PL or semi-PL surface. First one appears to have some clashing, which is common on smaller...
Is it raised? It appears to be a die gouge. See if this answers your question: https://www.error-ref.com/die-gouges/
Very, very cool. I've seen this one and I've seen the Walton specimen. Fun story - I was at the PCGS table when they slabbed the Walton...

Do you transport them often? Or mostly they stay in one spot? My concern would be a box that big with that many slabs could get quite heavy.
So your goal is to get them all for less than $20 each? Is that even possible? Are you just doing Classic Head (1808-1814) or are you doing other...
This is well outside my wheelhouse, so I can't say that I really know much about the gift - but it was still a generous and thoughtful thing to do!
Unfortunately, the couple of years before he got arrested he went down in a spiral, burned a lot of people, burned a lot of bridges, and cost a...
Funny story - I used to own that coin. I sold it many, many years ago when I needed the money for something else, and because it didn't fit my...
oh, now there's a blast from the past! I haven't thought about kryptonite in a long time. How much longer is he on the inside? Anyone know?
