This may sound like a stupid question, but does it have a mint mark? Only the Philadelphia mint produced proofs in 1936, but other proof like...
Stupid auto correct strikes again! My point was that there are proper and improper ways to clean a coin. Rubbing a proof coin in any way would...
I'm sure that others have replied by now, but I couldn't even keep reading the thread after this. DO NOT WHIPE A PROOF COIN EVER! This is just...
Seems more like toning breaks than wear to me. I'd call it MS-65 without much argument by the images. For those who say that they wouldn't buy...
I don't really like it, but the premium is small for the grade. That's a pretty common date in very high grades. A 2K coin on most days. I would...
I'd say you did very well. It's a $100-120 coin on most days.
Not nearly as pretty as the 1880, but the same PR-66 grade. This 1881 is clearly of a late die state, but has very clean surfaces. The strange...
I have a little recording studio that basically pays for the coins. I also have a job that pays pretty well. I also do a bunch of trading of other...
Unfortunately I can't make it this year. I had to choose between the Baltimore Whitman show and the ANA show this year. Too busy at work to go to...
What are the satin finish coins? Are those some sort of treated product done post mint, or are they from the regular mint sets?
I have no idea why, but I've wanted one of those gold plated sets for a while. Waiting to pick a set up for about nothing.
Cool find. I don't know varieties too well, but the 56 is the upright 5 variety. I don't think there is much if any premium above the slanted...
[ATTACH] I just found this image from David Lawrence. I think Jack Lee must have cracked it out. He got two points but lost the CAM designation....
PR-66. There are some light carbon spots on the lower portion of the obverse that hurt the grade, but that image is very accurate to the look of...
My favorite proof Morgan 1880. [ATTACH][ATTACH]
I was a manager of a kmart store years ago and I would say that your opinion of cashiers is not even close to the horrid reality of them. Just...
The US has produced nearly 900,000,000,000 coins with the word CENT on the reverse in big bold letters. In the same time, the US has produced...
I don't have a clue, but those are very cool. I especially like the eliasberg set. Keep me in mind if you ever want to part with it.
As in the other thread, I just have to know why you would bother spending more than the coin is worth to have it graded if you already know that...
I feel that they have look cheap and mass produced since they went to the laser etched dies. There is no art left in the process. Is it really...
Separate names with a comma.
