I would agree. If it follows tradition, around March/April it should shoot higher. I'm thinking it'll eventually level somewhere around $65 for a...
An 1892 Ten dollar I bought in the mid-nineties from a reputable dealer at the PAN show. A raw extra-fine (maybe low au).
No thanks. I think the United States mint has lost touch with the true collector. First it was ridiculous pricing increases on the annual...

A beauty!

Thanks all. To address some of the replies, first it just seems wrong somehow to take one from the top firms out of the population. As for the...
Allow me to begin by saying that I'm assembling the Liberty nickel series in grades of AU, maybe lower mint state. (My personal criteria tend to...
