The first piece is more convincing than the second, but I view both as artificially toned pieces. I have been a collector for over 60 years and...
1864 Small Motto. The obverse die was actually used for a pattern coin. The mint re-cycled it. This is graded MS-64, R&B. [ATTACH]
These three pieces were actually mini-medals that were sold as a fundraiser at the June, 1864 Philadelphia Sanitary Fair. They are listed as Civil...
I have toyed with idea of a large cent date set, but the 1799 and 1804 really bring me up short. Those coins are really expensive now, even with...
Dies like this can cause a lot of mischief because of restrikes. The U.S. Mint has sold old dies in the past, but they were either wiped smooth,...
I would not buy that coin on a bet. If it turns out to be bad, it won't be the first time that a TPG has slabbed a bad coin. Check out @Jack D....
Most of the shipwreck coins I see look better than that one. Usually they have a great deal of the detail that was left when the ship sank with...
@CoinTalkJim It appears to be a nice coin, but I would need better pictures with better focusing to give you an estimate of value.
The mint also made $5 and $10 gold coins. [ATTACH]
The 1799 is the most common date. The dollar was the only silver coin the mint made bearing that date.
Be careful NOT to buy a bust too far to the left dollar dated 1796. The Chinese have made one, and it's no good.
I have a feeling that the "outrageous price" for the silver Proof set will be more outrageous if there are more coins in it. The current policies...
This is the first major U.S. coin purchase I have made in about 5 years. The reason that I bought it is because I've been looking for a reasonably...
I’ll buy one if it’s part of the annual silver Proof set. Otherwise I have little interest.
You will have a hard time finding anything from circulation in a quarter dated prior to 1965 because those coins are made of 90% silver and are...
But a government can greatly accelerate the process by engaging in irresponsible increases in the supply of money.
If the mint continues to charge over $30 for the commemorative half dollars, they should be at least 40% clad silver.
The clad commemorative half dollars are now massively overpriced which is a shame. Time was these coins were cheap enough for YNs to buy them. Now...
There is nothing inherently evil or unstable about paper money or even money that exists only on computers in the form of data entries. The...
I starting thinking counterfeit when I saw the toning. The Chinese copper coin counterfeits have a look to them that seems to be pretty...
Separate names with a comma.
