I just bought up a small collection I can only assume was accumulated through Littleton. Had to explain it over messages and I was scared it would...
Any red 60's and 70's cents that come my way are keepers. Therefore, I say that they are nice coins to keep but grading them would be costly, take...
Those are pretty cool, I haven't come across any in person before. I like it!
The lighting really doesn't do the coin justice. I think you need something a little more white to judge a grade. Do I believe the toning is...
I say don't do it. Columbian Exposition half dollars are all too common and this one is just not going to be worth it afterward. I think the...
Hi all, In my newest group of items up for sale or trade are the items below. As usual, I accept (in order of preference) PayPal, Venmo, CashApp,...

Sweet catches at face!
Any S mint is a good day, especially when it's a wheat when you live on the East coast like myself. Any wheats from before 1940 is another point....
Looks gem to me from the photos. Probably a 66. Theres quite a lot of gem 38-D coins, so I'm decently confident.
There is a lot more relief remaining on the obverse as opposed to one that would would grade as low as VG-10. Quite a bit of meat left in the...

Had this and a couple of rattlers come in this week[ATTACH]
Interesting. I think it is a regular nickel planchet but rolled thin as you mentioned. The Denver mint struck only 2 issues for foreign use in...
Eh, fair enough. Minty is well deserving, but its unfortunate it's only come to fruition after petty politics. I don't buy from the mint, but I...
