My favorite Civil War Token die sinkers, Mossin and Marr. John Marr made almost all of the CWT dies for this firm, and his work was first-rate....
Purchased this week. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I had been looking for one of these sets at the shows for a few years. The trouble always was that the...
This is easily the lowest grade item in my collection. It was made from iron plates that were on the CSA Virginia a.k.a. The Merrimack. I have...
That price sounds very high to me. I’ve seen boxes of dateless, off-center strikes priced at a dollar or two apiece. Look at it this way. Such...
The question is, is it dirt that can be easily removed, or it is silver corrosion which is a problem. I can't tell by the photo.
Given the fact that coin is graded VG-8, the rim issues are lot less important that they would be on a higher grade piece. Do you wish that they...
I don’t care about the color on the 1881-S Dollar. That’s my right as a collector. I am interested collecting coins for their history, not dealer...

Looks polished to me. One of most common ways that scammers sell damaged or counterfeit coins is to post bad pictures.
Heritage, dealers I know through the mail, and my first choice, live at coin shows. I have rarely used eBay. I know some people like to brag...
I would say no. It does not have hairlines, and it does not look polished.
Sheldon developed this scale as a quick way to update values over time. Instead of having columns and rows of numbers, you simply got updated...
The mint does show a surplus, which is like a profit in “government speak.” The mint naturally makes from its normal operations. This years it has...
Especially if they use a good, no problem coin.
The picture does not look like a gold piece. These pieces were made of “gold - gold” not white gold. To go further I would have to look at the...
Yes.
Undoubtedly from the Chatman brothers hoard that showed in the early 1900s. It looks to be more sharply struck that many of them.
Going by the pictures, the “2” surface rating might be because the piece is lightly polished. The portrait looks shiny to me, not like a brass...
