Its all about the chase, not the acquisition as much to me. I kind of feel a let down once I finally get a piece I have desired for a long time.
My only issue with the nickel to me Paul would be the hits on the obverse. Unfortunately they are mainly on his face, the prime focal area for the...
Like others said, impossible to answer. Now, if you ask, "which is the easiest series to make a complete 20th century set of in BU" we could...
You never know though sir. In my experience, most lots, (at least the ones I bid on), tend to move up strongly at the very end. Yeah, it sucks,...
Technical things happen. If there was a major glitch, the only fair thing IMHO for both sellers and buyers is to delay the close. I think they did...

Cool. I really like that design, it looks very celtic or greek archaic.
Not the original designs, though. I wonder what they would make for the mercury, since I am not exactly sure which was the "original" design by...
How about making all three available in gold, silver and platinum? I might like a platinum BU set.
First, they simply filed down the seam. Very common practice. Second, this coin appears to be imitating a coin from one of Alexander's generals,...
I am horrible at coin photography, but one thing I do know is never use a flash for coins. Only use other lighting sources. Since coins are...
Non-proofs are only released through authorized sellers. You cannot buy directly from the mint. Go to www.comparesilverprices.com and see a...
Casting bubbles are the giveaway here. Also, the coin its trying to copy I believe faces right, not left. A common mistake for those making...
