Here are photos of it, saved and cropped, so that the site members can see one more Chinese fake. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
It's been a while since I have been able to add the coin of new British king to my collection. I bought this at auction, and probably paid too...
They are new to me, but everyone has to start from scratch sometime.
Interestingly enough, the 1859-O is one of the more common dates in Mint State. In the early 1960s, a bag or more of them was uncovered when the...
The trouble is people are not using cash any more. I rarely use it. Yesterday I mailed a package at the post office. The week before that I bought...
Typical Chinese “corrosion” used in their aging process.
I bought a Choice Uncirculated $5 Liberty gold piece for $31 during that period. They were around for $27.50, but I was not well versed at...
I am not sure of what you are driving at. The gold certificates were demonitized and ever illegal to own from the time Roosevelt issued his order...
This piece is not that tough in high grade. When I was a dealer, I had one in PCGS MS-63 or better, brown (I don't remember if it was 63 or 64). I...

You are looking for something that is best left to a very reliable local dealer who knows how to spot counterfeits. The trouble with...
Recently I ran across a 1967 issue of the Numismatic Scrapbook magazine in my files. The magazine was a favorite among collectors from generations...

From what I have seen, they are retreads. They take the old Indian Peace Medal or presidential designs and reproduce them in silver. I once had a...
The two most common $10 Indian dates are the 1926 and the 1932. They are very common, but the grading on them can be lax. You really have to watch...
Now and then you can pick up some deals on the 1907 No Motto type. The coin tends to be lightly struck and sometimes the luster is satin and...
Buy a common date graded by NGC or PCGS, grading MS-63 or 64. Look for smooth surfaces and good luster. This one is graded MS-64. [ATTACH]...
