Since we are on the subject, and since there is no agenda: 57 and 58 Franklins are known for their remarkable toning. I've owned many of them,...
Cameron Kiefer catalogued sample slabs. He committed suicide, but his work has been carried on by a couple of folks (some of whom frequent here)....
Tried to login with Facebook. It didn't work. I'm using chrome. It said "App Not Setup: This app is still in development mode, and you don't...
Tell us something about each coin you post.... grade, history, value, scarcity, reason its special, your quest to pursue it.... the coin is...
I'm not sure what you are asking? Go to the NGC census and see for yourself. Details grades are not broken down into 50/53/etc... it's just AU...
In that case, I'm a big fan of the obverse. Very pretty :)
From the sub-par pictures, I'd say dipped/cleaned and retoned (the secondary toning is rather attractive, especially the obverse). The reverse is...

Is there a link to the site? I don't see any in the OP. I think it sounds like a cool idea, but to be successful, I think: 1. It should be...

Is there really much interest in another long, drawn out series? Haven't we had enough already? Give me Liberty, or give me death. And let's...
You'll see the French version of the word "piefort" more commonly, I think (at leat, I have). Not sure why the English translation has an extra...
The market for originality, however, will almost certainly never die off. There will always be a (large) portion of the collecting community that...
While the double entendre is fully intended, the lesson rings true: even if you have a small collection of relatively low value items, you can...
I have a vast hoard of low value stuff. I don't count that as part of my collection. My actual collection only has about 180 - 200 coins. If you...
It's not about how big it is, its about how you use it. Don't worry about if you are average, or even smaller than average. Quality showmanship...
