If it's so small that you need to take close-up pictures like that, chances are it carries no premium in the market. Some of those lines are die...
You can find some of the same thing in U.S. Lincoln Memorial Cents. Back in the early 1960s, rolls of BU coins were all the rage. Historically...
Even if the scratch is on the slab, which it must be (What legitimate grader would give a coin with a scratch like the 67 grade?) the white toning...
It should be graded MS-64, but with the color on the reverse, it probably got an MS-65.
I would keep it raw. There are a lot of marks on the face that limit the grade to MS-63. It could be lower. With this date and mint mark there is...
The 1909 Proof Liberty Nickel is the most common Proof in the Liberty Nickel series. Why? The reason is that the Lincoln Cent was introduced that...
I have been one of those folks for a while and have taken lots of heat for it. Another aspect of the “CAC perfection syndrome” is the claim that...
Here is a most red large cent, from the same era, that did get a grade. The grade is PCGS MS-65, R&B CAC. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] One of the things to...
I am not interested. While I love classic cars, I am not interested in starting another "gimmick coin" collector series. Here is Ford Model T...
When I was young, I could go to my local bank and get a silver dollar, almost always a Morgan Dollar, for a dollar bill. That continued until...
I think that price guides that have been issued for a long time, like "The Red Book" are pretty decent in that regard. The relative values placed...
Here is a Club Rays variety Fugio Cent, which is the second coin of this type in my collection. This piece was made from an enhanced or repaired...
The clad coins did help drive the silver coins out of circulation.
I remember one of the columnists, I think it was in COINage, stated that the clad dime was worst looking coin of the three. The dime was "the...
As a kid coin collector I was interested in them because they were something new. One of my uncles had a different take. He said the country was...
I'm not condemning it, but I also don't like it. Even without the problem on the cheek, which could be a counterfeiter's problem, I would not buy...
The thing looks legit to me. I was not aware that the Chinese or anyone else had faked the old NGC holders. All the fakes I have seen were copies...
Yep.
I have been slowly building a type set of Confederate notes. I will never finish it because the first four notes that the Confederate Government...
The only way something like this could happen would be if a previously struck dime had gotten betwee the gap in the dies in a penny press. This...
