Given the evidence of some pretty strong clashing on the reverse, I strongly suspect that these are die polish lines. They polished so heavily...
Could you explain what you mean by "smoked"? I think I know, but I want to make sure.
When I go, I always get a hotel that is attached to the convention center. The convenience is absolutely worth the price. If you get a room at a...
@CoinBlazer, I realize you are newer to the hobby. Laura Sperber is one of those personalities that you just have to get used to. Chris...

I don't "no" what a "planket" is.... But this coin appears to have been struck through a blank planchet. When a second planchet enters the...
I'm not an expert on Morgans, so I had to look these up. I was quite surprised to see that, in low grades, these are quite cheap. It isn't until...

The 1892 has been polished or cleaned, but the other two appear to be attractive. Both Columbians are AU, but for the price you paid they aren't a...
California Tax Laws are weird, as are a few other states. Especially when it comes to bullion, or rare coins. This is probably just a standard...
