Along the lines of what Cloud wrote..... On April 1, 2005 I bought the exact same coin you have. It is a solid AU-53, raw. The 2nd London...
vision, I'll bet that tcore is probably correct. Knowing the date/mint mark would help out a lot. Common date DEs in XF/AU could be had for as...
Bone, I've seen it happen before, but it is usually spelled out in the terms of the auction. Actually, I've seen worse. There was a seller on...
Ha! Yeah, I thought about it, but I decided against it. I've seen instances where people thought they were being offered low-ball sums from guys...
I don't broadcast the fact that I collect coins, but some of my closer friends know, and a few of my co-workers have caught me perusing the...

1865 three cent nickel back in 1994.
Carl, Thanks for the chemistry lesson! I believe the closest powerplant to me is a nuclear one in Idaho, so I doubt that's it- or at least I...
Thanks- will do, and maybe I can get a few pictures up of my coin too.
Rickie, Now that I think about it.....The "new" spots do appear to be more like what you described- a deep gold or maybe even a reddish color....
Any of you guys ever have a gold coin develop them after it has been slabbed? 5 or 6 years ago I bought a St. Gaudens DE slabbed MS-62 by NGC. I...
The ANACS classic is probably my second favorite holder. NGC's current is a little nicer in my opinion.
Not trying to beat a dead horse, but I found this interesting..... http://www.onlygold.com/Coins/WeBuyEagles_FullScreen.asp I've never done...
Eh, my philosophy is my own, but I'd never claim to understand everything either. I knew I wanted to own some gold when I started buying. I...
Something else you might consider: I’d recommend buying lightly/moderately circulated US gold coins. Liberty types can typically be found for...
Eh, in the early 1970s my stepfather's first wife took almost his entire coin collection, mostly proof sets, Morgans and Walkers.....dozens, and...
Looks like a decent price for that coin. I have a couple of GSA CC Morgans, but I also have nicer "regular" CC Morgans that grade higher and...
Are you referring only to Liberty Head Quarter Eagles, or to Liberty Head gold in general? My favorite gold coin is the Liberty DE. I'm not...
I use the 2005 North American Coins and Prices guide because it is accessible. I work in a public library, and it's the series the particular...
Fun Question..... I'd probably go back to 1895 and purchase Double Eagles. I'd try to get S and O mint marks. Morgans would be my second choice.
