No.
Yes. I have owned this for many years. This is actually one of the easier medals to locate in this series. It's just quite expensive. [ATTACH]...
It’s there. The serial number is 238a. I didn’t know that this book existed.
I wrote this article for my local club last month, but things fell through the cracks, and it didn't get published. I decided that I will post...
Here is a 1936 Brilliant Proof Buffalo Nickel. These coins have very bright, mirrored surfaces with a shine that so overwelming that it is...
What is “Amati?” With respect these coins, as type collector, I have lumped the 1796-7 coins together in my mind since there is no way that I...
The coin has VF detail in most areas, but I think it has had a lot of “tooling” done on it. It may have been holed and plugged, and I think that...
The weakness in the strike on the top of the headdress is probably what kept it from getting a higher grade. This was what I wanted anyway. I...
No, actually it’s an MS-65, RB. I bought it from Angel Dees. He is noted for stocking only high end coins for the grade.
Here are the two Flyers that are in my collection. This one is PCGS graded MS-65. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] This 1858 is NGC graded MS-64. Oddly enough...
Poor-01 coins might be a challenge to find, but they don't interest me at all. As a young collector, I came to the conclusion that I should be the...
When I was kid in the 1960s, I tried to clean a copper coin with ammonia and ended up with this color on the OP piece. The coin has been played...
The half dollar is no longer a viable coin for use in circulation. If the coins was not offered as a limited mint issue, the series would probably...
If you are only looking for the modern half dollars that the mint only sells in Proofs sets and rolls, @Inspector43, I was not aware that they...
That really depends upon which half dollars you need, and who you define has a "big dealer." A dealer with a million dollar net worth is really...
Somehow I have to say that I am getting jaded when it comes these new mint products. But look on the bright side. At the least the U.S. Mint...
That 1796 half dollar is incredible. It beats the stuffing out of that dime in every way. Until you have been a type or half dollar collector for...
I refused to give a full throated endorsement to CAC. Soon after I refused to do that, Laura confronted me at a Baltimore show and gave me the...
These have also been called "prison coins." The inmates, who have nothing else better to do, "spoon" the sides of the coin for hours on end.
The grading services give bumps for attractive toning all the time. An otherwise MS-63 can become an MS-64 or 65. Of course some of the buyers...
