Welcome to the world of ancient collecting! You'll find it's very addictive, soon you'll find yourself reading everything you can about them and...
Personal experience with that yellowish white look!
Interesting thread Lehigh. I would personally not choose either one of them to buy, Coin #1 I would grade AU58. There is a lot going on on...
The "fact" that no one wants them is somewhat misleading. People do want them...they just can't get them. There are a legion of us local...
Hard to say really...I would guess something got on it, if I am correct, before your dad got it. All of them that I have seen (about 4) all came...
I don't know how I managed to miss this thread, but I am sure glad that I have found it now! Very cool issues! I don't have any of this type in my...
I didn't want you to think I was critisizing your coin :) It looks like it has a semi-greasy type sheen like the ones I have. The best way I can...

The ones you inherit are (in my opinion) the best of the best. No matter how many coins I may add to my collection throughout the rest of my life,...
World Coins....that covers everything :)
The proof set looks pretty good actually. I am looking forward to getting mine, but I will be waiting for the full proof set, not just the quarters.
Interesting...they have said from the start that this was permanent! They must not have missed that info. The eagle on the quarter is done as...
They look good, and it's a great addition to your collection...but could you please hit enter after each image so they go down and not to the...
Excellent report! Sounds like you had a blast. Thanks for sharing! If a dealer treats me nice, I am more inclined to spend my money with them...
