Here is a CAC slip-up I spotted years ago. Here is an 1851 that is graded MS-63. It's a nice coin except for one problem. Someone scratched an "L"...
Here my 18th century early half cent types. Here is my 1793 half cent. This piece has a couple of rim issues, but the color is good and the...
As the OP said, finding the 18th century pieces in the median collector grades is hard. When you find them, they often have problems. This one...
The milled coinage was sharper, but the portrait was not what I would call flattering. [ATTACH]
It is surprising how weakly struck the portraits are struck on these coins most of the time. I bought this six pence because it was better than...
If you search the Internet, you will see the 5,501 number listed. I wonder if there was a net mintage. Did 500 sets get melted because they...
The 2020 Spink price guide and earlier editions.
Here is the 13th edition of the Red Book that my uncle gave me for Christmas, 1959. This and the two Whitman cent folders got me started as a...
I am sure this book must have the definitive answer: How many 1937 sovereigns were minted for the King George VI Proof sets? One source says...
Many years ago people knew the DuPont family had two 1804 dollars. They were robbed at gunpoint. It took years to recover the coins. When they...
Here's the one in my set. The TPG dinged this one for "ink burn." The paper is so thin on these things, it's hard to believe that there's one out...
It doesn't mean anything unless a miracle happens the pieces the government confiscated get on the market. Then it might mean a lot.
That is an old holder from about 20 years ago. I clicked on one that showed up an ad that popped up here which Heritage sold in February. It was...
If memory serves, I think that was graded MS-63 at one point, which is the right number. Now PCGS and CAC say it’s MS-65. I guess the gash on Ms....
I am maintaining a file of photos of coins, over graded in the holder, with CAC stickers on them. The file grows by the week. Lately I have been...
I would go AU-58. It has a rub on the knee, but many times they ignore that and call it low end Mint State. Maybe the frosty luster prompted them...

They are not really an auction, but I have had good service of Harlan Berk. I know some pay say their prices are high, but the items are as...
Here is Maximinus combined with "Pax." Some how one does not think of Maximinus and peace going together unless it's in the context that he has...
From what I have read, the future emperor, Nerva, enjoyed Nero's poetry so he had at least one fan. [ATTACH] Here’s the “poet laureate” himself...
