It looks like a small lamination. A strike-thru would have the detail on the leg missing, while a lamination would still show it, but with...
1888-O "Hot Lips" Morgan $1. Quite affordable in lower circulated grades.
That depends. The copper ones are alloyed, and any scrap guy will have to separate out the zinc ones. This would have to result in a pretty...
I believe Syndey Martin has more credibility than Walter Breen. I have no basis for disagreeing with what is said here.
I'll put something together tonight. The designs are nearly identical, so the biggest difference between them is the size.
Yup, although I already have two other coins in the 1723 spot -- Rosa Americana penny and a British shilling.
I pulled the trigger on this one within minutes of the Coin Rarities Online Early Bird e-mail hitting my inbox. It looks nice next to the...
Yes. Full clash of the profile and some interior details on the Indian. Snow 1. I really like the shattered die in the reverse of the dollar,...
I just picked these up at the PO today. Both crossed at grade 1886 1c MS64BN [IMG] 1799 $1 VF20 [IMG]
This coin sold for $910 at the Heritage auction at FUN last year. It is an attractive coin with full rims and weak centers. The price is good,...

Both sides of the 1921 Peace dollar have a different design from the 1922-35 Peace dollars. I see nothing about your coin that makes me think...
They did make a few dated Feb. 22, and they're rare. Heritage has a whopping one (1) in their archive, and it just sold last week for $1292.
A bit surprised about the grade. The luster must have bumped it up on this one, because it seems really nice and frosty. 1903 is typically quite...
OK, that's why it sounds familiar. I didn't get to play with this one, as I took the photos of the others in 2012 and this wasn't available at...
For me, the "line of gimmickry" hasn't been crossed with the hologram. There is nothing added to the coin here. It has exactly the same...
I can't remember if it had the edge lettering on it. For some reason that sounds familiar, but I think I would have photographed the edge had it...
You mean like this one? [ATTACH] OK, it's not mine, but I did get to play with it. Owned by Robert Patterson, Mint Director from 1835-51.
