The only silver quarters that have been made, since the Bicentennial, have been in Proof sets. There are no Mint State silver quarters from the...
With a mintage of only 1,520 and its status as a one year type coin, the 1913 Type I Nickel should be more expensive than it is. The trouble is it...
Getting a Cameo for the 1936-42 Proof coins is very hard. I have a 1939 Proof dime that has a Cameo look. It's in an NGC holder and does not have...
William Henry Harrison is best remembered for winning the Battle of Tippecanoe and the shortest presidency in the history of the United States....
This an example of where natural is unattractive. It’s the reason why coins get dipped or cleaned.
I agree with @okbustchaser. If I had one, I would sell it, fast enough to get a fair price, and then I'd buy some REAL coins.
I happen to have these two because the 1834 Cap is my type coin and the 1834 Classic Head $5 gold is part of a set. 1834 Capped Bust Type...
Yes. It is my least favorite super rare, super expensive coin. It was made and marketed under nefarious circumstances. The 1834 Capped and...
Here's a little piece of history for you. The entire 1912-S mintage was struck during Christmas week (between Christmas and New Years) of 1912. It...
I stared when I was 10. I think it works better if collectors begin their interest in this hobby when they are young. I have tried to correspond...
Sometimes the album makers include a label for hole before the hold can be filled. If the coin is never made, which probably will not be case this...
No. A penny is a British coin that goes back over a thousand years. A cent, as the name implies, is 1/100th of a dollar. The British penny is now...
From what I've read, the "CAL." was applied with a jig, which is a machine that repeats the same motion over and over again. I've also read that...
I would say that it is a business strike. The surfaces in those photos are similar to ones that were in the AU I had years ago, but it's not the...
When I saw the price I figured some toning freaks had bid it up to that. Then I looked above and saw "0 bids." I can't believe they opened it for...
It was probably treated with something before it was mounted on the tie bar. The "something" was not properly removed, and the piece toned...
If this 1885-CC dollar is genuine, which I think it is, it's actually rare in this grade. Most 1885-CC dollars are either Unc. or impaired Unc....
There are some modern counterfeit dimes and quarters, but ones I have seen were not on clad planchets. That process is just too expensive and...
Sounds like a "pass" situation to me. If this is a U.S. coin priced at $600, it's not very rare at all. There should be more of them out there.
If the market has dropped, the smart thing to do is sell it, take your lumps and put the money into "live inventory" instead of "dead stock." If...
Separate names with a comma.
