The Baltimore Whitman show is only 3 weeks away. And for the first time in a long while I have some money. I'm in the process of finalizing my...
Latest Coin World has an article that points you to a site with a pictoral (and verbal) description of FBL for Franklin halves. IMO well worth...
I was looking at the three silver 3-cent coins in my type set. Two show the results of an obvious die clash on the reverse. But not on the...
One more before I take a couple weeks off. Back a year or so I had just learned about this coin. I don't often collect varieties but it caught my...
Unlike the 1894 Morgan where I learned a tough lesson (A Few Better Items From My Collection #2), this coin was a lesson with pleasant results. I...
I finally got myself a new edition of the VAM encyclopedia. I decided to take some time today and ID some VAMs. I started with a reasonable coin...
To call them "better items" is stretching it. Here are two of the keys from the Walking Liberty halves set. My aim with the WL's was to fill all...
Unlike the positive note of my first "Better Items" post, this coin comes with it's share of negatives. I filled the hole for this coin in my...
It's a bit slow this morning so I decided to start a show-and-tell thread. I'll add items maybe twice a week. You won't see the most pristine...

My 1892-CC Morgan has a number of rim dings. And unlike my other problem Morgans this one will cost a lot more to replace, even in this grade (I...
Here's my 1881 Morgans, raw as usual. Please express a grading opinion. BTW I incorporate the consensus grade into the final image. 1881 [IMG]...
Please give me your opinions. 1880 [IMG] [IMG] 1880-O [IMG] [IMG] 1880-S [IMG] [IMG] The 1880-CC doesn't need to be graded since it's in a...
A rather humble but important (to me) coin. It's the final coin to complete my matched silver Roosevelt set. Only a $20-25 coin, but it was the...
All are raw coins. 1879 [IMG] [IMG] 1879-CC [IMG] [IMG] 1879-O [IMG] [IMG] 1879-S [IMG] [IMG]
I'm in the process of reformatting my coin images. Right now I'm working on my Morgans. Most of them are raw so I figured while I'm at it I'll...
Okay, this is for you Lincoln cent specialists. Do I have a Small Date and Large Date 1970-S cents? If so, which is which? [IMG]
