This came across my feed. I found it to be very interesting - the US Mint Director grew up as a collector, and really seems genuinely passionate...
I completed the set in NGC FBLs, with the obvious exception of the 53S. Very rewarding experience, but definitely tough!
When you say "modified" what do you mean exactly? Are these done at the mint or by some after-market party?
The problem with requiring grade/condition - a lot of the people selling and a lot of the people buying have no idea! If it's certified all they...
Not exactly... PCGS uses only the *bottom* set of bell lines to judge FBL. Those are usually more distinct. NGC uses *both* sets of bell lines to...
66, easy. It would be a 65 without the toning. My only real concern is the bump on Franklin's cheek, but the rest of the coin is smooth....
My biggest concern is that the edges of the so-called second strike are not tapered the way the genuine picture shows. The edges are straight,...
Two identical examples (66 EPQ) sold on Heritage last year, one for $1680, and one for $1920:...
Yes, you got it right. Very cool! Did you find that in change or did you buy it?
You own just about every cool thing there is... do you happen to own anything cool here you'd like to show off? You are a Megalodon in this...
That's a really nice set. I especially like the Dollar. Just save up for a couple of years, you can get a $50 ;)
Buffaloes are incredibly hard to grade, especially from pictures. It looks like a very nice, nearly complete set though, and that is not something...
There are definitely some cool designs, but I guess I don't really get the point. Does anyone actually spend or accept these in trade? The only...
I have always been intrigued by encased postage. Just seems cool! I don't own any, though.
Don't waste your time on Ebay. It might randomly come up occasionally, but you can't count on it. For this sort of hyper-local stuff, you need...

That's the problem I reached with my Prooflike Typeset. I knew that it would eventually become an issue, but when I started there was enough...
I know when we start getting older, "20 years ago" means a long time ago... 20 years ago now means 2006... They've been grading PL Morgans since...
True. But if it doesn't, you're stuck with a coin you paid full retail price on. If you like the coin as is and don't mind it just being a 64...
I think it is very close but I think it isn't there. I think the obverse especially isn't strong enough.
