I believe that you’re referring to the “Our Friend the Atom” video. Someone uploaded it onto YouTube, and I found it to be very informative. [MEDIA]
I would be hesitant to buy a coin where ~90% of its value would evaporate if it was broken out of the holder. While I respect that some may...
I concur with 1835 LM-2, and the Federal Half Dimes book also lists it as R4. I don’t know if the rarity rating has changed since the book came...
The placement of the digits in the date looks wrong, so I believe it is a counterfeit.
This thread is why I’ve never tried to pull apart a 2x2 and risk exposing the coin to the staples. If I want to take a coin out of a 2x2, I use a...
Dang it, I knew I shouldn’t have opened this thread, because now I have another thing I want to spend my coin money on! Very nice coins posted so far.
I got this medal a couple of weeks ago, but forgot to post it. This is the bronze restrike of the Hyman G. Rickover medal that was originally...
My favorite is probably the 1935 Connecticut Tercentenary Half Dollar that my parents got me as a college graduation gift last year. This is my...
I bet it’s a lot harder to find a suitable addition than it may seem to the casual bystander. Very nice coins!
Dr. William Sheldon may have been the source for our numerical grading scale, but he made some bad “contributions” to the hobby also. One of his...
The newest addition to my collection is this 1828 B-2 bust quarter. It has a very nice CircCam appearance! [ATTACH]
I like how the commentary is similar to what you’d see today for a commemorative coin- some people like it, some don’t, some think it had the...
It’s been a bit, but there is a new arrival! The newest addition to my bust quarter collection is this 1828 B-2. 1828 B-2 is roughly tied with...
William Sheldon assembled a 66 piece “color set” of large cents and colonials that displayed a wide variety of colors that can appear on copper...
The die marriage is JR-6, R2. 1834 is an interesting date, since the cross bar on the 4 becomes increasingly less present as successive obverse...
As what Treashunt said, Early United States Dimes is the definitive reference for the series. I have a copy of it, and it does mention the recut...
One thing that comes to mind is the ol’ “bite the gold coin to test its authenticity” trope. The TV shows would lead you to believe that if the...
Here’s the comparison between the small bronze Enterprise medal (38 mm) and the large bronze Enterprise medal (63 mm). Now all I need is the large...
There’s a lot of poor coin videos on YouTube, but there are some good ones out there. High quality coin-related channels that I frequent are...
Nice half cent! I would suggest adding Tom Deck (http://www.largecents.net/) to the list also. I’ve gotten two large cents from him for a type...
