I noticed the same thing when I was admiring @lordmarcovan's coins. Most of the ancients seemed to have random alignment.
Now, see, here's a good counterpoint to the old "boy I wish I'd bought a bunch of coins at those prices". The Blue Book gives prices you can...
I like, maybe love the dynamic pose -- but her neck does worry me.
Well, to be fair, it would've been smaller if I'd been a no-show. But that would have been tragic. (What a show!)
On a similar note, if this site ever went away, I'd find it a lot harder to maintain my interest in numismatics.
I don't know what CAC 1894-S halves in that grade are going for - but I'll bet it's less than five times the price of an 1894-S dime in comparable...

"Carry peace to the rest of the world", I suppose. I'll be trying very hard not to read it as "I'm outta here". :(

I'd hope that online bullion dealers have lower overhead than local establishments, just by virtue of volume. I expect that dealers in general...
Sounds a lot like Roots or Green Dragon, two markets we used to go to when we lived in Lancaster...
Yeah, Nic-A-Date on silver is a non-starter. I think the experiments reported here used peracetic acid (white vinegar and hydrogen peroxide). I...
I wouldn't have been able to bring myself to do a return over a scuff that isn't even over the printed information on the label, never mind over...
I feel like dateless Buffalo nickels are an interesting probe into how collectors affect circulating coinage. You used to find wheat cents...
On one of my last trips to Georgia to visit my father-in-law (before we moved him up here), we took the back roads from his new house to his old...
As a lifelong science-fiction fan, I'm following AI news with some interest. I have high hopes for the technology. I do not plan on letting it...
Looks like corrosion followed by wear to me. Could have been heat, though.
Just remember: one of the next AI frontiers is agents, AI tools which can actually do things on your behalf -- specifically including buying...
So nice they had to play it twice?
