I checked the Krause catalog and no proof version exists. I checked NGC's page for one of the coins, and it doesn't exist either. Yet, I came...
I thought I'd share this neat documentary on US Mint coins. This may have already been posted in the past, but I think it's nice to bring up...

I have these two 1922-P Peace Dollars with a "stronger" relief on the reverse than others I've had, and I wanted to get all of your opinions on...
Pic heavy... Over the last few days or so, I received or reviewed these 4 world coins, and I have some questions about each of them. + 1988...
Usually, if they're in their original packaging, barring any discoloration and such, I'd simply place the coins straight away into Quadrums....
If it's definitely a proof strike coin, yet it has a very strong cartwheel luster like a fresh from the Mint BU coin, what is that called? I don't...
