I'm becoming a fan of the "details" market. Of course there's a price advantage -- especially if I want a higher-grade that I couldn't afford in...
Maybe it's super-nice. But I agree $500 seems expensive. Here's one on ebay for $437:...
Excellent suggestion! I collected these nickels as a kid in the 50's. First coins in my then-fledgling collection. We called 'em "dirty...
Maybe the red gash is a scratch in the slab. Or a reflection. Anyway, it looks like the same coin -- but a different picture. Notice there's more...

I appreciate any help you can provide, identifying possibly important coins: [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] I haven't yet...
I'll post group photos by country. Maybe in an hour or so. Then let me know if there's an individual coin that deserves attention. Like...
Canadian coins: [IMG] I did a quick search for the 1953. I'm far from an expert, but I think my two coins are the common far leaf/non-shoulder...
