I'm an older collector so I'm biased towards traditional coinage and not today's plethora of mint issues. I'm sure there is a bias towards modern...
I definitely wouldn't have guessed MS 65. I would buy a lower grade, well struck coin over this one. Maybe the grading services need to add...
Now that I thought about this a little more I am not sure about my last comment. Since the dies clashed then couldn't the weakness in the center...
I appreciate reading all of the comments on this thread. One's never too old to learn from others. I tend to agree now that there is wear on the...

You are in the same boat most of us are or have been. I stopped collecting while I was raising a family. I only started back up a few years back...
Machine doubling.
It's tough going through coin auction listings because there are always "can't do without" coins and I tend to stray from my want list. The best...
I got a 1908-S IH which was on the end of one of those so called "un-searched rolls" a few years back and when I got the roll it was easy to tell...
A 68 DCAM recently sold at Great Collections for $2695. Two years ago a 67 DCAM sold for $1210. My guess is $1000 for the one in question. I'm...

That's a pretty buffalo!
