But they had to go with the greater thickness to get the ultra-high relief, as I understand it. These weren't recreations of the early high-relief...
AU details, cleaned, I think.
Here's something that's puzzled me, though. The outer layers of clad coins have exactly the same composition that's been used for well over a...
I'm also intrigued by the zero-dollar premium for the autographed version...
Yes, yes, yes. I can read an article despite all the motion in my peripheral vision, but it hurts. It's like trying to do something with my hands...
It's always been a little hard to answer that, although I've been pretty much limited to US coinage as well. But I think what I really like...
There's something to be said for not getting rich until you're old enough to be set in your poor-person ways. If it happens earlier, it can change...

Man, George had better get those looked at.
It was a decent price. In general, though, going by "melt value" for 40% halves is tricky -- 40% trades at a significant discount to 90%, given...
When I see a coin from the teens, I still sometimes find myself thinking "wow, that's almost a hundred years old!" :oldman:
So where are the large-dollar rolls? You know there must have been some Morgans coming in with this batch... :)
Catcalls of the drunken numismatist!
