I have hit a plateau on coin collecting in that most of the coins I would like to purchase are way out of my price range. To mix things up, I...

Ask if he is willing to offer the note to the next highest bidder. You should pay for the note if he cannot sell it to the next highest bidder. If...
That's what I've noticed. Spotting is a problem on all Zincolns but it seems the Shield cents are spotted as soon as they're minted. I've pulled...

Wow, I haven't posted here to CT in forever! I am definitely a converted snob. When I started collecting, I was all over the place, picking up...
A strike-doubled coin occurs (and someone correct me if I'm wrong) when the die is slightly loose, and moves a fraction while striking the coin,...

Wow this thread has gone on forever. Considering the discussion about the auction title, the word ERROR should not have been used, as the coin was...
