Over the past 2 days, I have performed this on a pair of Shields, and I believe that the dates are 1871 (first) and 1870 (second). Here are the...
That's quite nice! It gets even better when the obverse still sports the good ol' Denver strike.
Here's what to do: let 'er tone, send 'er to a grading company, and reap some rewards, LOL! Jokes aside, that is a very nicely toned ASE.
This is a Morgan dollar that has been featured on Cointalk before, and now it is for sale. The coin is an 1881-S graded MS63, and is a blast...
It looks like an 8 reales cob, or a "piece of eight", that may very well be genuine. While there are likely counterfeits of 8 real cobs,...
I am currently looking to get rid of my clad proof sets. All prices on these are at less than the CPG retail values, which are about what the sets...
That 1975 No S is the same one that has been owned by an Ohio family for 45 years, so it is definitely interesting to see it go up for auction....
That honestly sounds quite weird. Just the other day, I had ten 2024-P quarters (the Mary Edwards Walker design) in a single roll. For dimes, I...
Likely worse here in the U.S., where some people prefer Eagles over Maples. I honestly want my Maples to be MS69 quality, if buying them raw,...
That's quite odd with a denomination of $350, but I believe that gold was around $300/oz at the time. I've never seen one of those coins before,...
I am asking your opinion on whether or not the famous .99999 gold coins from Canada are worth the premium they carry. My main questions are:...
Those lamination errors are cool! I personally have a 1964-D cent with a lamination that looks a bit like a big rim inside an outer rim, with the...
I've actually been in a couple of scenarios where I have sold a coin that I thought I wouldn't, but the main one is a Shield nickel that I sold...
Having only gold coins seems like a demise already. I know that there are a lot of different gold items, and some lower-priced things, but there...
That's a nice suggestion! Depending on where my table will be in the building, I could position the sign toward the front door, and use...
I am going to be a dealer at a coin show in November, and I was wondering what the best coins to take to a show would be. I have quite a few...
Looks to be an AU58, but that is hands-down the prettiest AU58 I have ever seen. If it had no wear, the thing could easily get a 65! ;) Edit:...
I haven't quite reached it yet, but I can now see why most collectors hate small coins. Like you said, vision gets blurrier with age, and for...
That 3 cent piece for $25 is quite the cool coin. I would predict that it is at least a $50 coin, but the fact that it was from a local auction is...
To find that in metal detecting is probably as rare as hitting the lottery! That is at least an AU, and even better when 1865 could be quite a...
