I love the Walkers too - very nice (and popular) choice to collect! Of the two coins you show, I don't think either have been harshly cleaned-they...
I'm more into silver coins than nickels or other metals - but I think this is a really nice lustrous, original coin and I'm going to go a bit...
@Publius2 is absolutely correct, and it's an easy identification to make. I don't know how I bungled that one, since that is one of the very...
I'm collecting this series by Logan-McCloskey die marriage/re-marriage - 123 coins in all. (It's a long term venture!) You have an 1834 LM-5, with...
I thought whizzed as well. And that's worse than cleaned. Cleaned, in my humble opinion, is where someone violates something that took decades or...
Randy, luckily I can plead ignorance on this one! As a kid, I didn't pay real close attention to the street signs, as I followed landmarks. I paid...
I know we're trying to focus on the good - but I'll share a bit of the bad first to establish contrast. I hope this thread is read by LCS folks...

OK, quoting myself is probably not good forum etiquette. But I feel like it's useful to repeat myself here. I see posts about this seller - how he...
In response to your question about genuine mint errors - there are a BUNCH of them and yes, they can affect both sides (or for that matter, the...
That seller also had a 63 set. He mixed in the reverse pics from that auction into the 64 auction....

Warning: once you get on Littleton's mailing list, you WILL hear from them.
@JayAg47, this is inspired and really well executed. Really appreciate you sharing with us!
Jeffjay nailed it. Christmas happens every year, but those other two factors are unprecedented and could have crippled any institution. Yet,...
The backstory on that is wonderful, and I was watching the auction (NOT bidding!) and hoping for a good return. ICYMI, an honest dealer (whose...
I paid $140 plus $5 shipping for a new one in April 2020. I was happy to find a copy!
