Not only Ikes, but Kennedy halves. I've seen both a 77-D silver Kennedy and a 77-D silver Ike. There were supposedly 12 halves and 6 dollars...
Nope. Blew all my FUN money on the bourse floor.
The Society of Silver Dollar Collectors is sponsoring a full scholarship (tuition, room and board) to attend the "Collecting and Investing in...
Hard to cherrypick a "big boy" from Heritage. Lots of people looking, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't. Even if you don't get one as a...
I use Meguiar's PlastX, a soft cloth, and elbow grease. PCGS slabs take to being polished better than NGC slabs.
Not really. There is record of 12,000 having been struck. If I read it right, the Assay Commission report for 1895 shows 10 coins having been...
Zincolns aren't as durable as bronze cents. Zincoln Memorial cents will disappear by becoming non-useful, while the earlier ones will be...
I'm not crazy about the 85-O. It's nice, but I wouldn't pay a premium. The strike is quite weak and the toning has an unfortunate disruption...
Very attractive coin for the grade. I can't tell if the mirrors are at today's DMPL standards (my gut tells me PL), because those standards are...
Nice haul! I came home from FUN with a similar handful, then bid in the Heritage world coin sale this week. I might be grounded until Central...
Crappy pictures can hide a lot of problems. I can only assume it's a problem coin of some sort -- cleaned, tooled, ex jewelry -- or it would be...
Bought a few dollars at the FUN show. Just got around to photographing them. Enjoy! First year of issue seated dollar (1840), PCGS 30 [IMG]...
It would have been 5 ounces of gold had it been made in 1876. The reverse design doesn't appear to be of Morgan's making, as it doesn't appear in...
I do like the way tagging someone sends a notification. First of all, the coin pictured is VAM 2A. The chip on the U in PLURIBUS looks like...
One of the things I forgot to bring to FUN was a box of 10d nails with special labels stuck to them commemorating the sale of the dime nail.
A list of the top 10 places to buy a BU Morgan that would get you a better deal than buying one from a TV show of self-graded coins would likely...
You accidentally posted an interesting coin for illustrating this. That's a 1921 high relief, which will have different clashing characteristics...
Since I was tagged above, I'll also say it was a clash as others have said. That particular clash isn't considered in the VAM listings, since it...
NGC probably won't attribute this one, but it doesn't matter, since the VAM community doesn't take their attributions seriously. ANACS will grade...
See if you can remove the mint mark in acetone.
