I put this set together over ten years ago and have displayed at the Winter FUN twice. Oddly enough, it has never won "First Place U.S." which I...
Here is an 1801 half dime. This one is graded EF-45. It should be an AU-50, but it's a late die state with the entire obverse cracked in half....
I could had two of these sets for $1,200 apiece when I was a dealer in the 1990s. I was slightly attracted because it was a complete bullion coin...
@paddyman98, you have a lot more coins than I have. Congratulations!
This is why I can’t buy most P-L graded and lower level Proof coins. They are ugly.
That is true. "Cleaning" is in the eyes of the beholder, including the experts. The say thing goes for toning. A piece can be dipped, but if it...
I also like coins. Unfortunately all of them are quickly becoming obsolete, at least in the United States. There is a guy in my local club who...
The Internet says it’s worth from $2 to $25. I am in the $2 camp. That’s retail. A dealer won’t pay you that.
Except when it comes time to pay for it. Coinfacts says an MS-66 is worth $50. An MS-67 lists for $275. An MS-65, which what I grade it, is $32....
MS-67 means you have to hunt to find the problems. This one has an obvious mark on Washington's jaw, a scratch in the field and numerous other...
MS-63 with a shot at MS-64.
The 1836 Gobrecht Dollar with “coin turn” and eagle flying “onward and upward” is generally considered to be a regular issue. The mintage was...
I have a 1913 Proof set from the cent to half dollar. I put together a 1795 year set from the half cent to the $10 gold piece. The grades range...
The mint is a monopoly which is now charging monopoly prices. I paid their price for 2026 silver Proof set, but that’s it. No more purchases for...
Yes, it’s an obvious counterfeit coin and slab which now been sold. :mad:
@russell1256, you must have missed the “X” for the “Draped Bust half dime, small eagle.” That type is harder to find than the other two.
Here are the two I have. I cherry picked a Small Motto in EF from a dealer when I was dealer. Yea, I know, you are supposed to tell people what...
There's one thing about Morgan Dollars. Unless some super rare VAM variety, there is not such thing as "I'll never see than one again." All of the...
I have everything, at least according to most people. I've been a type collector since the 1960s. Of course everything depends upon the grade, but...
Here's the one I have. I think that it's a cameo, but the graders didn't call it that. I bought when the market was falling. I'm still underwater...
