If you want the hole plugged with silver instead of lead it costs extra.
The only thing missing is that the old Savannah warehouse was owned by Granddaddy.
that was a good laugh!
It's all pretty subjective, even at CAC
that's a very interesting medal and advertisement. I am curious, what is the evidence that it was struck in 1864? I would think that it's more...
I think the surface condition will preclude a grade. Still, I like it as the corrosion is light and diffuse, so your eye does not focus on a...
I don't see anything of substance in those reviews. Like the other grading companies I am sure PCGS works to resolve issues around customer...
Well since I can't afford a Pacquet $20 that might be the coin for me. The obv design seems a little stiff but I really like the reverse with...

geekpryde, I really like that Circam look on old silver. usc96 that is a satiny stunner! It is likely one of the 3000 or so MS examples in the...
EF details, cleaned. surfaces stripped. No idea on market value but I would wait for one with decent skin.
I'm thinking AU58 due to the wear (I think) on the leading edge of the wing. Can't judge luster and highpoint wear easily from photos. If the...
