Are you referring to the sun rising next to that grain silo? --very midwestern thematically, an authentic slice of KC. Interesting neighborhood,...

There are plenty of counterfeits out there of the 1887 Five Pound. If the bead at the very top of the crown touches the denticle above it, then...

I've gotten it down to half a dozen coins a year, but real nice material.
I consider Canadian and Mexican to be two of the most insipid countries on the planet for coinage. The 1935 and 1936 Canadian silver dollars are...
2x2 in vinyl pages and 3-ring binder. Or in 2x2 in single column red cardboard boxes. Or buy only real nice foreign coins in NGC or PCGS...
Blow all the savings, take a second mortgage out on the house, do whatever is necessary to get the coins you absolutely MUST have! That's how...
After a year of pandemic related shut-downs and no in-person coin shows, many hobbyists are now inundating shows as they open back up. Between...
That doesn't surprise me. I guess I need to bring the coins back to another PCGS show and ask someone else with PCGS (who knows what they are...

Having them cross over my coins to PCGS at the current grade without meeting my "old holder +1 grade" requirement would be acceptable provided the...
Maybe submit a couple Albanian pieces too. I was shocked when this came back AU58 about 25 years ago. Was part of a multi-coin submission, and...
That's what I'm thinking too. The old slabs would get taken out of the census without me doing anything, another advantage of sending them to...
The gal at PCGS that I was working with seemed confused herself on the submission policy, then consulted a coworker who claimed I needed to cross...
It's not the older holder that generates the premium bid, it's the much more conservative grading associated with the era it was graded in....
