I have a somewhat crummy AS for Caligula and a sestertius and a tetradrachm with Claudius and Agrippa the Younger on it for Claudius. I had a shot...
The “real ones” have a reeded edge along with the gold plating. I have one that I have shown in venues like this a number of times. I’ll get to...
You might call it an added mint mark counterfeit. Either way, it’s not genuine.
The dull, matte finish is totally inconsistent with a business strike half eagle from this era. It’s either a counterfeit coin or that has had its...
VF-30 is about right. I wouldn’t mess with it beyond trying to push some crud off with a toothpick or rose thorn.
If it has the mirrors under the toning, it might be a PR-62 now.
Perhaps because the Peace Dollars were not stored in cloth bags for as long as the Morgan Dollars were. The toned coins were stored with one side...
Not for me, but each to their own. It’s one sided toner that makes it less interesting. I know, Peace Dollar toners are scarce when the color is...
I like the Harlan Berk approach. If you see something that you have been looking for, for a while, you have a chance to buy it without the auction...
It sounds like no answer is going to please you, but I will give you this one based on 60+ years of experience. When prices on straight graded...
The OP coin has an extremely unnatural look that is very hard to sell in the current market. What’s been done to it is way over the top. Getting...
When I retired and was no longer a member of “the club,” the price quotes shot up for me immediately.
If you bought the gold coins, you have a chance to be okay because of the increase in the price of bullion. For everything else, you are mostly...
The Ike that gets me is the 1973-S Proof silver coin. That piece was on the Grey Sheet for $250 almost 40 years ago. I sold the one I had for $175...
I’d like to buy a silver Proof set if I can. I was silly enough to buy a Negro Baseball League coin set. I like the $5 gold commemoratives and...
There are virtually no MS-69 coins in all of the series that I collect. I don’t look for them anyway because there is no way I could afford them....
[ATTACH] It's a little too marked up and cleaned up for me, but any Draped Bust silver coin is a welcome addition to a collection. Here is one...
You might get an MS-64 out of it, but it's not worth the expense. It's an example of nice, properly graded coin in a PCGS Old Green Label holder....
Yes, that's one of the new quarters that I like. Some of the others ... If you can't say something nice, remain silent. Of course what it...
You don't want to know how many coins I have. The number is in the thousands. I use slab boxes for the best ones that are in the bank, and the...
