I don't know what yall are seeing in the pictures that looks cleaned. It looks to me like a typical circulated Morgan. The toning seems to be an...
I have a dumbphone and have determined that the thing is invincible. Since it is indestructible, I do not have a case. However, I confused it with...
My initial thought on it is 55, but I think I may be hard on coins in general. The more I look at it the more I think it will grade as a 58.
I think it has been harshly cleaned. I should have been more clear on what variety of cleaning I was referring to. Anyway, I think it looks like...
From what I understand, some coins (specifically early proofs) can be graded even though they are cleaned. Granted, from what I have seen, these...
My LCS searches their wheaties, but if you want common late date coins then his are priced nicely at $2 (4 cents apiece). He also has a big box of...
I know a lot of yall will already know this, but I have always liked the origin of the phrase "There's gold in them thar hills!". It comes from a...
I'm surprised that there aren't any conspiracy theories about this hoard yet. It must have been owned by (insert famous outlaw) who stole it from...
Well, I'm already devoted to my type set for the moment, but I don't have any plans after I finish it. A type set of counterstamps would be a fun...
For a second I thought I knew Jeff. I bet I have seen him before, but I don't know that I could pick him out of a crowd. It's a shame either way.
Thanks for all of the great information! I fear that I may end up interested in this area of collecting in addition to all the others that already...
I was supposed to keep it from clanking around?:eek: Lol. This setup is probably not ideal for unc coins, but in this case I'm pretty sure it...
A small update: I managed to cover up the white cube by cutting a small circle to rest on it. I hope this will improve the image quality, but I...
A few weeks ago, I was at a coin show at the Metrolina Fairgrounds in Charlotte. While there, I found a dealer who had a box of large cents priced...
Nope. They were not extremely hard to find though. The counterstamp came with a serial number, so I guess I had it easy. All told, it was my first...
Not exactly coins, but last night I was researching a counterstamp that I bought a few weeks ago, and the internet just died. I had like seven...
I absolutely love the reverse (is it liberty, or another similar figure?), and the mustached man reminds me of the History Channel's dramatization...
Picking the best eagle on a coin is TOUGH. I think I would have to go with one of the commemorative halves, probably Texas. Best minor coin would...
Thinking back, it might have been $3. Anyway, I bid the minimum and the room full of dealers was not interested in topping that. This is probably...
At a coin club meeting a couple of weeks ago, I bought my first half cent. It is an 1826, and I paid $2. Granted, the obverse is terribly...
