I don’t thing that the 1933 double eagle will bring an all time high price given the fact at least 15 pieces are known. Yes, the government is...
It could be some sore of an impurity that was in the silver when the coin was made. It could also a part of the coin that didn't lighten when the...
It sounds like you are going to end up with a few coins in decent grades or a bunch of low grade or problem coins. Why do you only want to...
I voted "64" although it could be "65." There are a few tiny marks on the face and the one above the eagle. I have seen some of these $2.50...
I voted "62" before I saw the answer. The is super smooth with virtually no bag marks, but it has a rub, especially on the eagle's wing. It's...
#3 is a puzzlement. I guess the answer is "dime," but the dime was introduced in 1796. The Liberty Cap Dime was introduced in 1809. That would be...
Whether or not it’s Mint State, it’s probably going to be sold as a lower end Mint State piece. It is probably what dealers used to call...
I am not really into ancient bronze coins as yet, unless I have to (Caligula AS). Here's my Postumus coin. [ATTACH] Antoninianus of Postumus,...
I don't think that Maximinus promoted his son Maximus beyond the level of caesar. As such he would not be the seventh emperor. According to David...
Signed or unsigned really does not matter. It has to do with the varieties that are listed in the major reference works.
The 1825 half cent you have is listed as Cohen variety #2 for 1825. It is the more common of the two varieties that are known from that year. It...
The variety is 28/303a (a = copper). That would make it an R-2 ( fairly common) according to the current ratings.
When I was a dealer, up until a decade ago, there were dealers who would buy Proof sets at a discount under Grey Sheet bid, and it was always more...
I will have to sit down with the variety book, but the “E S” probably stands for Emil Siegel who was a very prolific Civil War token die maker and...
Well, @charley, I can put you on “ignore” so that I won’t offend you again. I try to give you free advice, you want apologies. I have never seen a...
When I was dealer, I once had straight graded 1798 dollar on consignment that had light graffiti in the field. Never underestimate the ability of...
I have never seen a corrosion spot look like that unless it had some help. A lamination would be more likely if the mark in the face is natural.
The 1955 doubled die was not found in Mint Sets. Many of them showed up in cigarette machines and in circulation. As for the 1979 Proof sets,...
That looks like someone took a chuck out of old battling Maximinus' face to me. He was not very poplar with the gentry in Rome and elsewhere....
Just to show how grading can work on early dollars, this 1796 dollar is in an NGC AU-50 holder. It was graded about 20 years ago. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
