The color is whiter than it appears in the photos. I may have to go back and fool with the white balance. Some sources say a bronze example...
I went to a political items convention last week, the APIC National Convention which was held in Danvers, Masschusetts. There were many great...
Most dealers are open to trades if what you are offering fits into their business model. Don’t expect to trade Civil War tokens to most dealers...
VF-35 sharpness with edge issues. Probably worth VF-20 money. It would probably land in a “details grade” holder. This variety comes well...
VF-25. It’s a nice coin. Many of these pieces are damaged in addition to worn.
Back in the early 1970s, there was a rash of “errors” from San Francisco Mint. They included Eisenhower Dollars struck on cent planchets and the...
I have the 1902 Matte Proof set with the gold. They are not nice coins. There is not much difference between them and Mint State business strikes....
I thought that there was only one Matte Proof 1937 gold set which was given to the king. I put the brilliant set together a few years ago.
Somewhere in the AU-50 range give or take 5 points.
Yea, VF-20.
They are my three type coins. I have never gone beyond that point. The 1917 Type 1 quarter is the easiest to find, especially with the full head....

Fine-15. The minor rim issues cost it 5 points IMO.
The promoter says they can't get a room at the Baltimore Expo. That has happened to FUN a few times, but I'm surprised that Baltimore is sold out.
It's a late die state. I'll go MS-63 if complete luster is there. Here are a couple more examples of the type. NGC graded this MS-64. As you can...
It was a decent design when it looked like this. The trouble with it was there was too much crammed into a fairly small coin. The design did not...
It seems that the rumor has been confirmed, at least for the first show in 2027.
I almost always under grade these things. My grade is VF-30. There is a fair amount of wear, but still lots of detail. I know someone will call...
Tough crowd! It looks Mint State to me, with perhaps some envelope toning on the high points. If it is AU, it’s a 58+.
Back in the day (60+ years ago), dealers obtained rolls of Mint State coins for their long term inventory at or near face value. Over the years...
