Sigh...yet another thread I wish I hadn't opened. Tim, some advice -- think before you post. :rolleyes:
An absolutely splendid coin design. One of my favorites from the 20th century! :D
1) The images are free, and done as a service so you can get an idea of whether the coin you're looking to buy is the same as the one at the time...
Thanks Matt. The take away message for me has been that, 1) Many coins that have the CAC sticker I find very attractive, and high-end -- but not...
Quite frankly, after a few CAC threads recently, I'm not sure what to think of CAC anymore. Despite what their website says, more than one savvy...

Hello all, I recently picked up a coin that I know little about, but have seen many of the type. I know there are dozens of varieties of this...
I have had an international package arrive after 80+ days. It's good that you are being proactive, but you may simply have to wait this one out a...
Stainless steel, mintage 90 million coins. In absolute highest MS condition and slabbed, maybe $40. In the condition shown, I'd say maybe $2-3....
Linkie no Workie. Please don't leave us hanging...
The PCGS + was jointly announced with NGC in March of 2010. It was a collaborative decision between the two companies, so I don't see how it...
