And I suppose that since you are "a scientist" everyone else is wrong. You logic is chasing its own tail. After generations of numismatists have...
I just sent a check I sent a check to a dealer that never got there. Thank goodness I have a free stop payment with my account.
Breen’s half dime supplement, which was published in 1958, inspired me to collect the early dates. It was part of the Quarterman reprint, which...
And there is no contemporary evidence that he didn't design any U.S. coins. You have taken that fig leaf and used it as an excuse to write off...
I might add that Heritage has been getting some very high prices in their actions of late. Therefore this asking price might even be more out of...
I don’t think the Americans are interested in another gimmick coin. Every dollar coin has failed since 1836. Even the early dollars, 1794 to 1803,...
I would not get hung up on the VAM die variety specially. It will distract you from your overall goal of completing a date and mint set. Look at...
Buy really choice AU-58 coins for the super tough dates when you can. They can be nicer than the low Mint State coins. Having said that the number...

And I know that you don't want to give John Reich credit from designing anything. I am sorry, but that really makes me angry, and I needed to get...
Sorry, clearly over graded. This one is graded MS-64. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Here is the box that housed these coins. The fact that it is made of...
Sometimes the grading services refuse to give an opinion when there is too little left to be sure of one. They will keep your money, however.
When a piece is this damaged, most collectors won't pay much of anything for it. These days, another factor is authenticity. Although you might...
Even if it is a 1909-S Lincoln, it's not worth much of anything.
MS-63. You can’t ignore the big mark by the bell tower on the reverse. If the color really is as funky as it seems in the photo, it might go...
My copy became a "lose leaf reference" very early. I have seen examples that have held together somehow. This seemed to be a problem with the...
