As some of you know I am presently at the ANA Summer Seminar at Colorado Springs, CO. I have been here for close to two weeks now, classes end in...
The following is a condensed version, without much of the graphics and a shortened text, of an exhibit I put on at the latest Long Beach Coin...
Found this one yesterday. Not in my cherrypicker's, but looks nice anyway. 1953-S RPM #4 in Wiles, s/s north. [IMG]
I found this a few days ago. Most of the roughness and bumps around the 6 are explained by lamination peeling, which is apparent elsewhere on the...
I was in Canada last week and stopped by a coin store to get the 125th anniversary of Confederation series. While there I picked up some other...
I pulled these out of a bag of junk silver that a friend was going to dump at a local coin store. I don't do much with rainbow toned US coins,...

Here is my six piece 'type set', partly as delimited by Krause, for Mexico 1/2 real coins of the pillar design (1732-1771). There are more design...

This appears to be an RPM, but I don't have a variety guide specific to this series to check it. If it were just doubling to the east I would...
I had the fortune to end up with a free day today in Lima. Went to the Casa de Monedas (mint) to look at their relatively new Museo Numismatico de...
I have found an excuse to be in Portland for this show, March 13-15. Probably will attend two of the three days. Was wondering if anyone else...
Picked this one yesterday from a local dealer. 1908 Indian head cent, Snow-1 (RPD, 9 both north and south). [IMG]

I picked these up recently, the first one is straightforward (a 1908) with an RPD on the 9 and 8 to the south. I say unlisted since I could not...
