Both sides of the 1921 Peace dollar have a different design from the 1922-35 Peace dollars. I see nothing about your coin that makes me think...
They did make a few dated Feb. 22, and they're rare. Heritage has a whopping one (1) in their archive, and it just sold last week for $1292.
A bit surprised about the grade. The luster must have bumped it up on this one, because it seems really nice and frosty. 1903 is typically quite...
OK, that's why it sounds familiar. I didn't get to play with this one, as I took the photos of the others in 2012 and this wasn't available at...
For me, the "line of gimmickry" hasn't been crossed with the hologram. There is nothing added to the coin here. It has exactly the same...
I can't remember if it had the edge lettering on it. For some reason that sounds familiar, but I think I would have photographed the edge had it...
You mean like this one? [ATTACH] OK, it's not mine, but I did get to play with it. Owned by Robert Patterson, Mint Director from 1835-51.

The answer is quite simple. Because people enjoy it. There are as many different types of collections as there are collectors, each with their...
Absolutely not true. If you don't follow the instructions for posting pictures or mess something up, then you may be admonished, but mostly by...
Glad you like the result!
Just a filled, worn S mint mark. New Orleans wasn't online until 1879.
Just once, I'd like to see someone ask this question and have a genuine coin.
The thing is, I prefer the view a stereoscope gives over a Live View image. It's sharper, there's no latency in an imaging chain to get it...
The seller keyword spammed Manfrotto and Bogen. I hope what you get is decent.
Nice shopping list. I toy around with the idea of putting together something like this for shooting varieties under high magnification, where I...
I'm using a 200 mm AF Micro-Nikkor on my camera most of the time, 105 mm for larger items. If you have an APS-C sensor, however, I wouldn't...
