Yes, it's McKinley and Roosevelt. Here's a button from the 1900 presidential campaign. The background is in gold because they ran on maintaining...
Civil War tokens with a blank reverse are known, but I am not aware of any Hard Times Tokens (HTT) like that. There are four minor varieties...
Here is a link to my local club's website. We have been posting more and more articles. I think that you will find them interesting. The club...
The first one, in your second post, which you ask if it has been painted, is corroded. Corroded copper is usually green, but it can be black or...
It seems to be marking time in the $4,500 to $4,600 range. As an old timers, who like coins as collectables, not bullion, I wish it were cheaper.
The American Gold Eagle. I like the design of the old ones better than the new "eagle head" variety. You can buy them in four sizes. I would have...

The sharpness grade almost needs a tailwind to make VG. I have no idea what “RB” means.
Many years ago I saw an 1877 Indian Cent with a cut into the planchet at a coin show. The dealer had found it metal detecting. He couldn’t get $20...
To me personally, I think that pedigrees are nice and might add a little to value if they mean something. For example I own an 1800 Bolender 20...
19.8 ounces of gold? I predict that it will have a small mintage. That would be almost 8 times heavier than Panama - Pacific $50 gold slug. :woot:
1795 half eagle. I finally got an example of the Small Eagle on a gold coin! [ATTACH] 1796 No Stars Quarter Eagle. My type set, up until the...
