Here is my best Feuchwanger cent. [ATTACH] I won this one for an exhibit at a FUN show a few years ago. [ATTACH] This is the most common of...
Years ago, I don't agree with that. The really nice looking $20 gold pieces in MS-62 to 64, which were not chopped up, had a numismatic premium. I...
I have a low end Unc. in MS-61. I had hoped to get a better one. Maybe someday ... [ATTACH]
If you post pictures, I might be able to help you with your Indian Peace medals. I have the reference books, and I have a few pieces. The...
It's been my experience with U.S. medals that the older ones are heavier, but I am not the grand expert in this area. Here's another 19th century...
Many 19th century medals have the "mohogney finish," which is a rich attrative brown. Around the turn of the last century (early 1900s), the mint...
Me too. I have a firm policy. If the pictures are bad, I don't even consider bidding. Taking decent, but not necessarily great, pictures of coins...
I have one that is similar. [ATTACH] Denarius of Trajan, Obverse: IMP CAES NERVA TRAIAN AVG GERM P M (Sear legend D) Translation: “Emperor...
Gobrecht's original artwork was better. The mint brought in Robert Ball Hughes to redo it, perhaps because his modified design resulted in longer...
Your coin looks good, but don’t assume it’s real because of the date. The crooks can create other dates as well. One of the early Chinese...
Jack, your latest acquisition in AU-58 is the most troubling. They really got the artificial toning down on that one. If you had collected half...
I have read that the planchets which were used for the 1799 cents were soaked in seawater before they arrived from England. It was common for...
Even if it were an 1887, I would scream PASS! At $150, I'd say you would be down at least $149.
Here are my pair. The 1854 half dime is graded MS-62. [ATTACH] The Vancouver is graded MS-64. [ATTACH]
I figured it to be a Summers Island (a.k.a. Bermuda), but that was mostly based on the fact that it's the only coin in the Red Book that could be...
Here are Mint State examples of the Types II and III Standing Liberty Quarers. Note the differences in the way the date is shown on the coin....
I am always under grading these things, but maybe I’ll be the over grader this time. It has VF-20 sharpness, but the rim bump on the reverse nets...
I greatly admire this double eagle because of the date, 1896. That was year of William Jennings Bryan's "silver crusade." The silver dollar and...
The black spots in the middle of big brown spots are probably beyond repair. As someone else mentioned, The Silver War Nickels are made of an odd...
The stuff between "WE" and "TRUST" is raised. It's probably mostly crud, but it might have something under it.
