Unless, perhaps, it was just cleaned. I too had to wonder when I read about it "turning" so quickly. That ain't natural. Natural toning, as...
I knew some of those O-mint Barber dimes were tough, but never having collected that series by date, I wasn't fully aware of just what kind of...
@Tall Paul posted his winner's receipt (in Giveaway #111, for some reason), so I'm locking this one down for the archives.
I started in '76, so I too learned my foundation in grading from the old B&D (Brown & Dunn) book. And so yes, I also looked at the full LIBERTY...
I guess so, if you want…

I did too, which is how it ended up in my shopping basket back in January when I was buying stuff to expand the giveaway selections. I was...
This point comes to mind. Gold is a relatively soft (-er) metal and double eagles are big, heavy coins, so bagmarks and minor scuffs and...
Keep ‘em beeping! The silver stack grows! Love finding a silver quarter! Looks like one of those Buffaloes was a lawnmower victim after it got...
