I gave it an 8. The Nickel Three Cent Piece is one of my least favorite series, but this coin is attractive with its unusual colorful toning. You...
Yes, the TPGs should have pictures posted of ALL of the coins that they have certified that are worth some amount, say $500 or more. Furthermore...

According to Roger Burdette, the Proof dies that the mint used in this are were chromium plated. As they were used specks of metal came off of...
Or the S-Mint could be a counterfeit. There is no such thing as an unsearched roll, especially when it has a screw top.
I collect presidential campaign items from 1789 to date. That overlaps with the coins since many of the 19th pieces were tokens. In the 20th...
As some of you know, I am a “light weight” ancient imperial Roman coin collector. My current goal is to get one coin for each emperor up a date...
My guess is it does not say "Uncirculated" on the GSA holder. These coins were graded by mostly college studends who got a crash course on grading...

I have no idea where a hammered English coin from circa 1166 to 1500 should go. When I first came here, I was informed that they went in the...
If you had submitted the OP coin to PCGS or NGC back when I was having my collection graded, it would have come back in a body bag as...
I would caution other collectors about this "two toned" cameo look on circulated coins. It's not a look that was popular years ago, but maybe you...
Here's mine. It falls short of what I really wanted, but it's what I purchased. A couple of years later, I saw one I liked more. At that time I...
