As we all know, modern British kings and queens don't have much say in the political policies and issues that face the country. They are now no...
I see an AU-58 that ends up in an MS-62 holder. The MS-64 grade is ridiculous, but it’s not surprising. When I was a dealer, I saw the worst, must...
This Greg Weinman has been a government employee for all of his professional career. Do you really think you are going to get any objective...
I have been an admirer of King George VI, who is Queen Elizabeth II's father, since I started to collect British coins and saw the film "The...
You don't get much luster on an EF graded coin these days. Even the "classic view" is that an EF-45 has traces of luster.

I would say somewhere in the AU-55 neighborhood.
If you want a quickie beginner’s lesson on artificially toned coins, look at the previous post. Some people actually like that CRA ... sort of...

Here I am again ... "locked down" (Not officially, but actual none the less) in Florida. It's going on five months now, and there is no end in...
There are lags in the system. The best thing to do is to log-in here and check the "Alerts" box in the upper right corner. I don't want the...

Yes, if you want to pay retail. Maybe things have changed, but when I was going to the shows, you could buy these coins for less than retail. Of...
There are a fair number of collectors who don't like Morgan Dallars because so many of them are common in Mint State, and they have been heavily...
If you have it graded, you are going to get an MS-62 or a 63. Using Grey Sheet prices, an MS-62 is worth $197. An MS-63 is worth $198. There is...
