It seems that every time I answer a question like this people get mad at me because of my response. But in all honesty I can answer it in no other...
I can remember back in 1960 the very first thing my grandfather told me about collecting coins was - "don't ever clean a coin". Of course my...
According to the ANA grading guide these grades do exist. Why do you think they don't ? They are as follows - AG3 - G4 - VG8 - F12 - VF20 - VF30 -...
The toning on one coin will not affect the other coins. The toning is caused by the metal's reaction with the elements in the air and how the set...
I have read of these being counterfeited but that's about all I can offer. But this line you speak of - does go around the entire coin...
Looks like a capped die error to me. But I wouldn't grade it MS as it has apparent wear. Certainly worth having it looked at though as these are...

It's the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee - one of two groups that review and advise the Secretary of the Treasury as to which designs will be...
If they did I haven't heard of it. Perhaps one our British members will have more info.
Interestingly enough Sylvester further research has shown that the English gold noble was copied from even earlier gold coinage of the...
I'm not gonna say for sure, but it is questionable enough to me that I wouldn't bid on it. I'm very skeptical about the comments made in the...
