Think that there will increases in interest in the older cents, including the Indian and wheat cents. Prices for rolls of wheat cents might...
I can’t imagine writing a 5-figure check for a raw coin these days. I have written a low 4-figure check for an ancient Roman coin within the last...
I don’t think so, unless two very wealthy collectors fight over it. It seems that the 1804 Dollar (original, circa 1834) has lost a lot of steam...
I think that the 1933 double eagle has sold for $18 million. To think, that coin is a piker compared to the coins on this list. Who knew? :jawdrop:
Yes, the surfaces have spongy look, and the details are fuzzy. It’s like a “circulated, Mint State coin.
Yes, the two remaining coins in the Smithsonian are struck on both sides.
Yes, they are expensive. The half dime is graded AU-53. It would have been an AU-58 except for the scratch on the bust. The dollar is graded...
The 1797 half dime, diameter 16.5 mm. Given the technology of the time, can you imagine getting this much detail on a coin this size? [ATTACH]...

I bought this MS-70 graded piece when gold was in the dulldrums and the prices were coming down for the coin. I bought it from a dealer who was...
I hate the reverse of the Botanic Garden commemorative silver dollar. The building looks like a trollycar, which is usual quality for government...
Sorry, but that is some really bad artwork. George H.W. Bush looks like he had a bad facelift. I don’t know why, but the artwork really went down...
I vote "machine part." An advertising token should have something else, like a street address for the business.
Believe it or not, this is the same coin, depending upon the angle of the light source for the photo or the viewer. NGC graded this piece PR-66....
Personal nostalgia. I usually don’t collect coins for that reason, but in this case, I made an exception. This is an encased Morgan Dollar. The...
I was born and raised in Delaware. Most U.S. collectors are familar with the Delaware commemorative half dollar. I have owned four of them over...
Products from Dr. Feuchwanger who pushed for a three cent piece years before the Federal Goverment issued them. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] He tried...
How about a Civil War token? [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Or a piece of encased postage? This is from John Gult who filed the patent for it. [ATTACH]...
I spotted an obvious counterfeit 1794 Dollar on eBay. I sent them an email about it. Their repsonse ( was not exact words) "This lot conforms to...
Yes. This 1799 large cent is subpar. It was lucky not to get a "details" grade, but it filled the hole in my "one cent per year" collection. I've...
