Every ebay link on this forum goes though the Rover thingy. I think it may be some kind of revenue thing for CT. And on the coin the letters of...
Not correct. All of the American Silver and gold eagles are also eligible for IRA accounts, but the bullion buffalo is not. The legislation back...
I don't know why everyone thinks that. It has never been the case. Back in 86 I got my hands on a unopened bag of bicentennial half dollars. I...
That coin shows either a very strong "die bounce" (effectively Machine Doubling.) or it has been double struck, possibly just on one side (Coin...
I believe the 1848 small date cent was a contemporary counterfeit. I don't have a picture of one readily available but I have seen it and it is...
I really like that Yorkshire 63 token. The amount of fine detail in that Cathedral is amazing, and then you realize that it was all cut into the...
Nice coin, considerably better than mine. What edge inscription does yours have? For a Conder token these things are rather common, but since...
Because at those auctions there were more people who wanted/needed the 50 than wanted/needed the 47.
I vote for the conspricy theory. If there really were things in the design that resulted in the widespread rejection of the coins I'm sure they...
But there is at least one specimen of the 1969-S DDO that does show machine doubling on the mintmark. So don't condemn a possible 69-S DDO just...
Nope, they do blank their own nickels, dimes, quarters and half dollars from strip provided by suppliers but cents and bullion products have the...
Yes they are rationing. They have orders for more coins than they have planchets to produce them (The suppliers of the planchets have not been...
They can't follow because they lead. Fake ANACS slabs first appeared in March of 2007 and fake NGC slabs in August 2007. The fake PCGS slabs...
What grade is that a quote for? I've seen XF's that would have a hard time meeting that standard. On all of the other seated liberty designs I...
Unless one of these days someone finds one of the 2000 S business strikes they made when they were doing test runs in 1999.
There is only one true design error on the coin. The olive branch and arrows are in the wrong talons of the eagle. The arrows are in the eagles...
I would say it is crystallization from the annealing of the planchets. Actually the woodgrain and the crystal patterns seen here have similar...
That's the real reason why they took Monticello off the nickel for two years, they were making it ADA compliant.
The pictures leave a lot to be desired but I'd have to say that I don't have warm fuzzy feelings about either one of them.
Nah, mine didn't have the covered spine and corners, but almost all the gilt was gone from the front cover.
Separate names with a comma.
