Mine arrived today! I was happy when they first announced this coin (before the mintage was announced) because I had passed up on the 2019-W since...
Very interesting! Usually dies don’t get reworked so extensively, since I assume it would probably require annealing to make the die workable and...
My vote for most beautiful is probably the 1935 Connecticut Tercentenary Half Dollar. My parents got me this example as a college graduation gift,...
It has been over nine months since I last purchased a bust dime... but the drought is over! I recently acquired this 1827. 1827 is the most common...
Yikes! I guess I should be thankful for my more timely (projected) delivery.
I got mine at 12:08 on November 14 and it’s still a couple of days out (according to FedEx’s tracker). Knowing my luck, they’ll manage to lose it!
That’s so cool! I always love stumbling across numismatic authors on coin forums.
That is a nice one. By chance, are you the EAC #7 John Wright that wrote the 1816-1839 Cent Book? I assume that there could be multiple John...
Yours looks to be the fallen 4 (or more accurately high 9) variety, which I believe is only on S-63. (A cursory google search suggests that this...
Neat variety! I’m honestly surprised that it took nearly 100 years for this DDO to be noticed.
Ugh. I would’ve been interested if it was struck in silver, but not if it’s gold. Too expensive, not the right dimensions (since gold has...
Nice coin! This is a pretty cool die marriage because it has one of the more extensive cuds/die cracks for this series.
No. As I mentioned in my earlier post, the collection has at least one example of every die marriage Bass owned, except for the one I alluded to....
Last year it probably would’ve been the lightly frosted 2018-S reverse proof Kennedy Half Dollar. I don’t know if it’s still as hyped as it was...
I believe that the collection has at least one example of every die marriage Bass owned, except for one ($10?) that was accidentally sold without...
That dime has pretty strong reverse rims for an 1807. There are mint state examples that barely have traces of denticles on the reverse. This was...
I agree that the Dannreuther/Bass book is great. It is essentially a book covering all of the early US gold coins ($2.50, $5, and $10) in the...
They may have had rough lives, but they’re not a bad start to a Draped Bust collection. Something neat about the 1807 quarter is it has the...
I got my copy for $135. About two to three years ago, there were several copies on Amazon for ~$90 and I foolishly passed them up. I would...
Fortunately this hasn’t happened to me (yet), though I would assume it would be very frustrating for this to happen. If I recall correctly, a...
Separate names with a comma.
