Both of these Lincolns were found in an estate collection I bought years ago. Because they are keys they were submitted to PCGS for certification...
I spent 25c on a run-of-the-mill '59-D Lincoln. I bought it at a show recently. It had a modest orange/red/brown toning. The usual look, not...
I reshot a lot of IHC's today because I could no longer stand the crap I took a few years ago. They're not perfect but a whole lot better than...
Damn...the frenzy of a coin show can be so distracting. I was so pleased with the price and quality too. A senior moment, no doubt. Have you done...
One is in an NGC slab, one in PCGS. One merits a gem grade, the other a couple of points lower. One gets BB'd, the other grades cleanly. Guesses?...
It was a '22 no-D strong. Killer. I decided on BN color to 1940 and then RD afterwards. But I compromised here and there. Sometimes it's harder...
Something a little different. PCGS calls this an "attached lamination" error. It was graded MS66BN which I think is a little generous, although...
I really love this thing. I don't know why...I guess because it is so full of problems and yet is still very attractive. Look at the mess. I...
After finishing a wheaties set, which seemed to take forever, and a Capped But Half set (which was more fun and a lot less expensive, in AU), I...
I'm not a dime man but these took my breath away. Taking their pictures wasn't hard. Grasping their worth, was. Almost half are in the mid...
These aren't mine. I just got to babysit them a few days and take some pictures for a dealer-friend. They are all PCGS-graded AU. There are two...
Here are some wonderful coins being auctioned at the upcoming Chicago ANA show. They are part of the Roger Solomon collection of early silver...
Disappointing, but maybe not surprising. Here's the brief Coin World article. I wonder what will become of the coins. The Smithsonian doesn't...
Several years ago I bought this tough 1931-S Lincoln, PCGS 66RD. It was part of the Ron Bozarth collection and it looked pretty spectacular at the...
I'm wavering. I like some things about each. When the right AU58 comes along I'll probably sell both. Which do you prefer and why? Guess the...
Today's challenge deals with copper grades and color. Here are six Indian Head Cents. They are all business strike (no proofs) and have been...
The challenge here is to put the Peace dollars in grade order. Let's go from best to worst. So, cite the date for the MS67, then MS66, ..., MS63....
The following five dollars were graded by PCGS: 61, 63, 63, 64 and 66 These are the coins: 1878 7/8TF Morgan, 1878-CC Morgan, 1878-S Morgan,...
The 1920's era was a miserable one for Lincoln lovers. Dies were over used, planchet quality and mix were poor. Many have atrocious spotting and...
I started to make this a poll but there were too many possibilities. So let's make it less structured. At least one of these was body-bagged by...
