Re: Somewhat new to Gold Dollar collecting - why so few in PCGS plastic?
Most of the circulated Type III gold dollars are dated from 1856 to 1861. After that the Civil War changed the circulation patterns on these coins, and many of the pieces will fall in the low lower to higher Mint State grades. You might look for an 1861 gold dollar. It is a common date, and yet it was issued at the dawn of… -
Re: I know it's probably a dumb quesiton but what is "SMS"?
Who were the original sellers of these rarities? Any in NGC holders? >> Yes, they're labeled "specimen". See the last paragraph of this old post.

Re: Modern Quarters
They use a pretty simple system for the determination of how many coins to make. Coins flow back into banks from customers returning coffeee cans full of coins as well as a few from from stores. These will tend to be businesses like laudromats or car washes because most coins now are used only to make change rather than as… -
Re: Let's talk about our "Jimmy the Greek specials"
Both sides getting love, no doubt about it. This might sound crazy, but I think the first quarter of the first game, will say a lot as to how this series goes.
