John Glenn - a great, great man. A true hero. Character. Backbone. A real man. But he never went to the moon... he was the first American to...
Nice to see a little original mint red poking out on that '38 ! Great coin. Hard to say whether it's weak strike or wear, but the '38 seems to...
Really hard to say from the photo. These are tough enough to grade in hand, much less any photo. Look for lustre breaks on the indian's cheek and...
I used to think of the TPGs as a lottery... I gamble a few bucks hoping to get over on the deal. I had a VERY low batting average ! Those days are...
Be very, very careful on raw Indian $2.5s and $5s. Many are cleaned. Few of those will be obvious on e-bay quality photos. It's never good to...
I suppose he recommended ANACS because he feels these are both "problem" coins, and ANACS will slab 'em anyway with a notation about the problem...
Personally, I really like gold $1s. And this one is very nice. As you know, they're known for poor strikes and clashed dies. This one has...

Very nice, Mark ! Great pickup. Ya know, I didn't like the Matron Head design for a long time, but they've really grown on me. They seem prone...
I coul be wrong, but I think that's another classic case of Longacre doubling (who is also the engraver / designer of this piece). It's fairly...
I'm not picking it apart; it's a gorgeous coin. Someone asked why it's not 69 or 70, and others pointed minor imperfections. I assure you I have...
Ugly is in the eye of the beholder. Personally, I think the Goddess of Liberty looks masculine and the eagle looks like a chicken. But that...
Totally agree, SM. Yes, it's true. An average coin can look awesome in a photo - even without photoshop. Some problems are seen only at a...
Spock, if you got that for 64 money, you got a heck of a deal.
Dude ! Did you inherit an oil well or something ? Hey... I just remembered ! I am your long lost twin Skippy, and I get half the inheritance !...
Couldn't agree more ! I'm leading a 16-day river trip through the Grand Canyon. Hard to find girls willing to go, so there's gonna be some male...
Hard to say, due to the error strike. Without taking the time to attribute it, other 1795 Plain Edge NCS VF details 1c have gone for $1100...
