I think before they put glue on envelopes they would seal them with wax, and there were special rings with designs and insignias that would make...
First 40% half I've ever seen that showed copper on the edge. The copper isn't laid in there they way it is on clad coinage? The 40% is alloyed...
So close and yet, so far. [ATTACH]
The obverse is a mirror image. Old Joe 1887. Maybe it was used as a stamp. And then the reverse is not a mirror image except the J is oriented...

Too many other riders in the bill. It also calls for the $1 bill to end, and switch to dollar coins. That's not happening. $1 bills are 66% of...
40% silver coins don't show cladding on the edge. They don't look like 90% which is a whiter edge, but there's no copper color on the edge. Normal...

Beautiful obverse and reverse. The steps are the worst part of the coin. I see MS 65 1938-S for $17. This is an MS 67 mistakenly graded FS for...
Just because this family hid these away for 75 years, doesn't make them immune from confiscation. These coins should be in a museum and not in...
That is one fine looking frosty FE.
With only 2 known examples, I think they are letting the PMD silver plating slide. If you were to silver plate your coin(s) and send in for...
That's a stretch and a poor analogy. You want to keep arguing, you win.
That's a beauty. VF-20 ? Price and information:...
Yes but the NIFC halves are in circulation. People buy bags of them looking for a couple of super high grades, and dump the rest at face value at...
Not an expert but on the first coin, if you look at the In God We Trust area, that is a sign of cleaning. That the rest of the coin is clean...
I have the book, but I haven't started it yet, I am finishing Logan's Run. Love the Soylent Green film.
