Well, so I know I said I wasn't going to spend any more money for a while, after the recent large purchase..... but, I saw this come up and knew I...
I don't believe I've ever seen that many nicely toned SBA's all in one place before. I'll answer back with a DMPL SBA. You can ask Schatzy - these...
I'm going to guess 53. The coin has enough wear that it won't (shouldn't) ever make it into an MS slab - look at her cheek, hair, eagle's feathers...
All the time. I never go to a major show without a bagful of things I either upgraded, changed my mind about, shifted away from, etc. And I have...
I will definitely be acquiring prooflike gold for my prooflike US typeset, when the budget allows.
Back when I worked on the oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico, there was no one later night than me - I worked the night shift 6pm to 6am.
Man, I go away for a few hours and look at all the amazing stuff posted! I don't think I've seen any Mercs on here yet ( I might have missed them)...
I don't have anything close to Marauder's stuff, but I've got a few toners. I'll start you all off with some Frankie's, of course: [img] [img]...
I discuss this in detail towards the end of the article. The fact is, no one really knows. Maybe 4 dies for 1958, and maybe 3 dies for 1959? But...
The easiest way to get rolls of US coins in England would probably be to find a "roll buddy" - you ship him rolls of English coins, and he ships...

I wrote an extensive article, covering everything you need to know about type II reverse Franklins. I have several of them, although I am still...
If the coin looks like an MPL, and is quite obviously one, I doubt the graders take the extra time to look at the diagnostics and confirm that it...
I do not like this coin really much at all - especially not at 67*. No coin with a huge fingerprint should ever grade above 65 in my opinion, no...
Cool post, Chris, and great pictures. What is the value difference between the No FG and Weak FG?
That RPD is cool. Unfortunately, from your picture, that Kennedy does not look like a true no initials coin. It appears to be a strikethrough...
I very much like both of these NT quarters, and agree with Doug's tabbed folder assessment. Very nice!
Thanks, Doug. I think I forgot to change the links when I posted this article here.
If you won this at auction, you have absolutely no basis, grounds, or right to return it simply because you paid to much. I find this absolutely...
You paid about an average price. The Redbook is not a reliable price guide. I love Franklins, as I'm sure you know. I hope that piece looks better...
