It is a nice double-struck in collar. I can offer a guess to the value - if I had it I would peg the price at $500.
Yes, Editors have a hard time getting material. But I have a deep well to draw from with Charmy here. Membership in the Fly-In Club just got...
PCGS price guide shows the 1921 in MS-60 at $260. In my mind an AU58 is about the same value of a MS-60, in fact I'd prefer an AU58 to a MS60....
In Japan the dollar is roughly equivalent to 100 yen. Their 1 cent equivalent is a 1 sen coin which is not made any more. 10 yen and 50 yen are...
Of couse by doing either, the government makes it that much harder to hide the hidden tax of inflation. Which, of course is the real reason we...
http://www.cointalk.com/forum/search.php?searchid=1614157 This is the last one I saw, from 2007. I hope you don't mind the repetition, but I...
Of course, the mint could still issue the cent in Mint Sets and Proof Sets in full bronze just like the 2009 Lincoln cents. I like cents too,...
Nice strike. Looks like wispy hairlines, but with lots of luster. I'd buy it. I grade it MS-63. Is it one of the 100,000 first strikes?
Why do we need the cent? The only reason is to facilitate state sales tax. If the states would allow rounding on tax on a per sale basis, then...

I gave an impromptu talk at James Wiles "Modern Minting Errors" class at the Summer Seminar and was shocked at how few people read the Numismatist...

We had a great time playing poken and AJ made sure the host won. Thanks! I tried to buy that photo from Charmy but she wanted WAY too much...
Great Job! Looks like Confucius. I have one one of your Schoolgirl dollars. True works of art.
It just looks like it is not original surfaces. The color is greyish, not brown. It could be the image, but that's what it look like to me.
The 1807 Comet is already cleaned (polished) and retoned, so it can't be hurt by doing it again. That is why there is active spotting on it - once...
Many $2.50 and $5 Indian's were made in Lebanon during the 1960's. These were mainly made to circumvent the gold importing restrictions the US had...
Die struck from transfer dies. It looks like the die crack is real, not transferred. I notified the owner. The N's are shallow on some 1871's -...
