The design started to change in the mid 1830s when Christian Gobrecht started experimenting with new designs. A couple of decades latter, coin...
[ATTACH] It took me many years to find an example of this type that I really liked. This piece is graded PCGS MS-65, CAC. Back in early 1960s,...
The 1894-S dime is for real. Perhaps the lowest grade one was bought by Jack Freidburg over the counter at the Gimbels Department Store coin...
Here are some campaign tokens from Grover Cleveland's three races. In a space of less than to two years, Grover Cleveland rose rose from obscure...
