I hope I don't spoil your fun, but here goes. 1795, LM-9 It's an R-4 so it's a better than average variety. The 1795 half dime is the most...
I have bought replicas of coins, like the Gallery Mint 1796 half dollar. It did nothing for me. A restrike can be okay, but replicas just don't...
That is a great history, but I could resist. I would rather have a larger number of very nice pieces than one piece, unless it is the capstone to...
Well Mike, you never know what might have been given that you never saw it. A VF would be quite a find. It really sucks that the guy let someone...
