I paid $35 for a 2007-w (burnished). That's a premium over silver on the day I purchased it (silver was at $30.21). My purchase wasn't slabbed -...
Well, they are bullion coins... :confused:
For several years of the US Philippine series, multiple denominations saw mintages of 500 or less. Many of those can be found for less than $5,000...
I recently bought a 2007 burnished ASE, and I'm not sure how to spot this error. Can you elaborate? On the 2 reverses picture, is the item on...
I think the bullion coins are going to trade for quality over the long term (especially some of the lower quantity mintage years). That said, I...
Refining metals (and removing trace impurities) is a pretty tricky and complicated process. Removing those last couple thousandths of a percent of...

I'm not all that familiar with the bust half dollar series, but does the date really look like this (and are off center strikes at all common)?...
Do the coin grading services slab Hennings counterfeits (or even catch them)?
"Goose pimples"? I like that, and it fits.
Don't coin cabinets have a serious problem with rubbing their contents? And what about offgassing from the wood/stain/varnish inside the cabinet?
