I went to my Grey Sheet and confirmed that the 1885-CC is a better date in the GSA holder. In the lower levels of Mint State, the bid is $840 -...
I should post this. This is the 1872 Seated Dollar, which flunked at the grading services, that I sold to a dealer for $550, 20 years ago....
I don't buy every coin in Mint State, contrary to what some might think. [ATTACH]

I think that Chain Cents are sexier. If I told you how much I paid for the Wreat Cent, you would cry ... but it was in the 1970s, and the market...
Why have one? If you are Panthers fan, you are hoping they will run the table (in reverse, of course), get some new management and have a decent...
Good thought! That had not occurred to me.
Yes, this the hardest and most expensive date. The other one is the 1804. I had the 1793s from my type set.
I have been gradually forming a year set of cents from 1793 to date. The "biggest bear of all" is the 1799 cent. This coin started to become...
Yes, large numbers of Seated Dollars have been cleaned, and this one is no exception. I had one with decent eye appeal, with AU sharpness, that...

I would say Fair-02. The date is strong, but everything else is really weak. Believe it or not, if the coin gets a straight grade, the lower the...
I think that Lincoln has an erie look in his eyes on this piece. It reminds me of a science fictor book I read many years ago. There was some sort...

Happy Halloween! This display is on my fireplace ledge. We got cheated out of Halloween Horror Nights at Universal because the first hurricane....
It’s worth more in the GPS holder. The coin would grade MS-62 at the best, probably MS-61.
The Silver Three Cent Pieces are a lot more expensive, even in low grade. When I was a dealer I had 7 of them in a junk box that had not dates....
This one is in an NGC MS-66 holder. Yours might be better. I didn't pay MS-66 money for it. [ATTACH]
The first one, the 1847 half dime looks odd to me. It's got wear on the high points and yet it has odd luster. The surfaces under the luster look...
