Feuchtwanger? And this is why making friends with a couple of good dealers is key. If you're looking for a truly rare and special piece, they...
Thanks, publius! PM sent in regards to Koenings.
I know that @Publius2 mentioned in the previous thread that this was one of the most common die pairings for the date. But, it seems like the die...
I agree!
This coin has found a new forever home, and I'm so pleased to add her to the family:...
I saw this coin posted by another member. He told the story of how he found it, had it graded, and was going to sell it....
Haha, yes, that was a fantastic evening, and completely unexpected. I believe it started as a PCGS forum member gathering, but a few of us crashed...
I've been to a couple of Insider's classes before, and they were some of the most educational hours of my coin life. If you have a chance to go,...
Does it, though? Be very careful of your terminology, especially with pre-modern coins like this. "Doubling" implies something rather specific in...
Haz - could you show us a picture of what you are referring to? There are absolutely ways that a coin could be made with a seemingly blank side,...

See, @ldhair , what did I tell you. After 3 days of nonsense, smoke blowing, and bloviating on the NGC forums, somebody got (what I believe to...
These are from the #1 All-Time Finest PCGS Registry Set of Lincolns. They will be on display for people at the FUN show in January. You can read...
Wow. Once again, great work, Jack.
That's a pretty decent die break on a modern coin. What does a later stage look like?
What did you submit? Show us pictures and let us guess the grade!
It's a cool story, and great for the guy who found it... but there really is nothing rare or valuable there. That "top coin" is worth $2400. If...
I'd say for $10, why not. But $500... that's ridiculous! Or is that a typical price, Frank?
