If the binding was good, I wish you had given it to me. :angelic:
Yes. The chemicals they used to turn the coin red may have not been completely rinsed off the coin. They reacted with the virgin metal that was...
You have to remember the context of the times when the Breen book came out. Collectors are spoiled today by the number of numismatic books in...
I was thinking that it might have been worked on when I saw the grainy red surfaces. That indicates that the piece was made red again by dipping...
I received the coin today, and it is a nice example. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I have been studying my 1921 Peace Dollar in recent days. I bought this...
The “WE” is the high part of the design and wears off first. Some pieces are weakly struck which makes the “WE” weaker from the beginning. I have...
Adding to the other points, this piece should not be weak in the shield area. By this time, the Philadelphia Mint was banging out sharp examples...

@jeffB, who needs the hassle? Plus, if you are not an expert, you will need to send these coins in for certification. That gets expensive and time...
I hope to get my Peace Dollar tomorrow.

I added pictures of this thing to the opening of my next program at my local club. This is disturbing, but it's no surprise. The crooks are...
Here is an example of an 1819 large cent that almost certainly came from the Randal Hoard. This is graded MS-63, Brown. These coins are not cheap...
1819 is a common date because of a significant hoard, known as the Randal Hoard the surfaced in the mid 1800s. The better dates from this era are...
I have a few slabbed ancients, but most of my coins are raw. I prefer the raw coins because they are easier to photograph, and the photographs...
I have a couple of argentei (?). I saw this one at a Winter FUN show just before the Pandemic. I bought this from Pegasi. It was marked with a...
Check out the left side of the photos. Happy Halloween! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I didn't want the Morgan Dollar thing either. I only wanted the Peace Dollar to see what the design looked like when it was fully struck. I...
I couldn’t buy one, but if you want to join the people who support the pro-dealer and flipper, anti-collector, Mint Director, go ahead. It’s...
