My big FUN show purchase – A 1797 16 Star Dime
Years ago I owned a 1797, 16 star dime. I sold the piece when I bought an upgrade for the type. A few months ago I bid on a 1797, 16 star dime in a similar grade to the one I had sold, but didn’t get it. I found out that a dealer had bought it. He and I met at the FUN show, and we agreed on a price. The grade is PCGS… -
Re: Too late to buy gold?
If you are going to be holding gold for five years, then today or tomorrow is the same difference. I personally think there will be some profit taking and that Gold will pull back before it rises again. Buy on the dips if you are going to buy. I think that the dollar will have one more rally and that will shake out some of… -
Re: A new 1841 O Dime
by 1843 the new Orleans mint must have solved at least some of thier problems as the entire production of the dimes (150,000) was (supposedly) accomplished with one die pair. it stands to reason that as scarce as the 1843-o dimes are, a good portion of the 1843 production may have actually been dated 1842. this is very… -
Re: Well I just got my grades in on my 2010-D Jeffersons. Up date on Grades.
Did someone at PCGS goof or did the U.S Mint send out bags of the wrong coins, or are they useing the old dies from the satin finish coins? I thought you said it all with this statement but more importantly, what do you think the coins resembled? BS or SF coins? What form of manufacturing would be acceptable for a coin to… -
Re: Is every military casualty investigated this much? Or is it because Pat Tillman was a "celebrit
I see nothing wrong or false about what PSA wrote either, most of which is a quote from Tagliabue. "On April 22, 2004, Pat Tillman died during a combat operation in Afghanistan, fighting for our freedom. Pat, who played for the Arizona Cardinals from 1998 through 2001, gave up his lucrative football career after the… -
Re: This double-struck dime looks funny?
I'm very familiar with the late 1960's Counterfeit coins that originated here in Southern Calif. The counterfeits include 1963-D Silver Quarters, (and of course many No Date Silver Quarters), & 1964 Kennedy Halves, (and No Date Silver Kennedys.) This particular dime shown, is not, imo, from that group - every single one of… -
Re: I thought about a bid on this Morgan with color,
I've been around too long. It is my opinion that the coin is a colorful widget. I would not value it higher than $300. The fact of the matter is you bid and buy that coin and regardless of that toning it is still a common coin. Placing thousands of dollars in a common coin is folly. This coin market is increasingly… -
False alarm...Byron Reed exhibit to be "dismantled"?
Well, I had the following email forwarded to me about an upcoming Lincoln coin club field trip to see the Byron Reed collection here in Omaha. It was the last sentence that caught my attention. << <i>A Very Special NumismaticEvent! Larry Lee, program chairman of the Lincoln Coin Clubhas put together a very special… -
Re: What identifies an 1821 quarter as being a proof?
. i have to say this as a disclosure. even if every single atom aligns on 2 coins exactly the same, 1 from BS dies and 1 from PF dies, the PF struck coin will still be a BS coin unless the flan was prepared as a pf/sp/ptn/ptn etc and from all of my study, that is where the delineation falls. was the flan(s) made/treated…
