How about a 1911 half eagle or $3. Something unique, with numismatic value that is 100 years older than their wedding year.
1¢, 5¢, 10¢, 25¢, 50¢ Omaha Bank Hoard of my birth year. My 1816 N-2 large cent might be from the Randall Hoard, but there was no documentation...
I would recommend Jerry Bobbe 503-626-1075. If it involves early copper, you couldn't do much better.
I finally finished the article "Price Trends of U.S. Coins". It has been accepted, but not in the ANA's Numismatist. Instead, it is to be...
I went Thursday and came home with this (1797 C-3b). What you can't see is the lettered edge that overlaps the thin planchet. It is a rarity 4 (<...
I agree with Condor101. I picked up two of Dan Holmes late date coppers (an 1844 N-3 and an 1852 N-5 - image below). In both cases, I spent at...
There are 56 varieties (plus another 11 deemed NC - "non-collectable" due to there only being 5 or less known) of the 1794 large cents. A quick...
Another hammer you have over the seller is (according to the info) is that he/she is in the United States. Selling counterfeit coins is a felony...

However, if they close the entrance to the National Parks (i.e., Yosemite) next week, it will kill my first vacation in more than a year. Where...
Go with a semi-key. You can always buy the cheap ones later.
Taking the opposite viewpoint, I'd collect a couple and see if you like them. If you do, then find out what the key coins are (no matter what the...
Eac If you decide on large cents, be sure to check out Early American Coppers http://www.eacs.org/. The magazine, Penny-Wise, alone is worth the...
tlasch, from the picture, I'd call it a F-15 scudzy coin (scudzy is an EAC term meaning problems). CQR pricing is $15. Anything over that is...
Thanks for the pics. It allowed me to look closer. My first thought is that, at best, it would grade (using ANA standards) F-12, perhaps F-15....
tlasch, It's too hard to say what your coin will go for, primarily because your photographs don't show near enough detail to judge the condition...
Then I'd definitely say it's an AU. Doug teaches ANA and EAC classes on how to grade early copper. Even an AU-50 is a tie for 9th in condition...
even though you said PCGS graded it AU-58, my initial thought was 50 at best. I'm not knowledgeable to give it an EAC grade (which would be...
