You don’t have to be a millionaire to afford a denarius of Caligula. I spotted a couple at the 2020 Winter FUN show in the $5 to $6 thousand range...
The trouble with this design is that it was executed in low relief. On some coins, the reverse can be especially nice. When you swirl it under a...
I have always liked the Sesquicentennial coins although some dealers don’t like them at all. The 1926 fair in Philadelphia was a financial bust....
Yes, so far as I know. So far as you comment about the price realized on the Pan-Pac award medal, it's not surprising. The prices I noted in the...
Here is the Pan - Pac medal that you see most often. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Some purists would call this piece "white gold" although it has mellowed out in recent years. [ATTACH]
The vast majority of those catalogs don't have much value. As a result, many of them have ended up on landfills. I used to have many of them years...
Here's the closest I will ever get to this coin, a Nova Eborac copper by Ephraim Brasher. Some of the letter punches that were used on the...
It’s one the most famous of all truly rare American coins. The price was up there, but seems like that was true for all of these Heritage...
People call old U.S. gold coins that have been dipped “white gold.” The color is not white; it’s just pale compared to pieces that are natural.
I agree that it’s a nice set, but the mintage was too high to really make it “underrated.” That is as it should be. The Bicentennial was a big...
There is nothing “charming” about a hole in a coin, token or medal unless it’s supported to be there. For example, a hole in a 19th century...
I got blown out the water with all of my bids. Heritage auctions are the expensive place to buy coins in the legitimate numismatic world.
I was not aware that the MacArthur coin was ever "hot." People tried to capitalize on the low mintage for the Uncirculated variety.
1804 half cents do not have wire rims. Sorry, it's a counterfeit. It also has the "Chinese toning look." Sometime they put so bright green...
The only problem I had with the "last chance" buys from the mint was that I ended up with a not so nice coin. I bought this MacArthur Unc. $5...
The planchet roughness can keep one from being an MS-67.
MS-64. The reed mark on Booker T's face, the minor mark on his cheek bone plus the usual rough planchet marks on his chin make this an MS-64.
All of the Massachusetts silver coinage, except the NE coinage and the small planchet Pine Tree shillings, were made on a rocker press. That's why...
One million dollars. :troll::wacky::blackalien:
