Doug, The only factor that makes coin #2 not accurately graded is the strike. In terms of surface preservation, luster, and eye appeal, it is a...
I was trying to keep it simple. Although we know the mintage, we don't know the condition of all of the coins minted which can have an effect on...
I think Cointalk along with the other Numismatic Forums that I belong to have had an impact on the way that I collect coins. I used to buy any...
I am going to disagree and say that there are no undervalued coins or series of coins. Prices a driven by economics (supply vs. demand). Since...
BTW, I started typing the post above because I knew what Doug was going to say about the Morgans before he said it. The Morgan post illustrates...

Exhibition of Coin Art and Museum I found this post on "Exhibition of Coin Art and Museum" interesting and have nominated it accordingly for...

Doug, You are correct about the Appalachian Toned War Nickels. I should know, I own four of them. At this point, I think most believe that the...
Guess the grade of this Jefferson War Nickel graded by NGC. Please don't cheat! Comments about the coin always welcome, and no I don't own it....
Ruben, Did I hear you mention a prize for second and third place, because there ain't no way I am in first anymore. I would be happy to take the...
