OK I recently won an eBay auction for an NGC MS 63 1922-S Peace Dollar. Auction closed at $9.95. With shipping, tax, and insurance it was about $18. I found this listed on the PCGS pricing report that an MS 63 is valued at $53, so I figured I got a decent deal. Is there much of a difference...

Me again, still going through my dad's coins - I'm now getting to individual coins which dad got for free or as premiums, and which truly and well stink. One is a 1943 half that's been buffed so hard there are no details left, but it's so shiny! Right. Not worth a damn thing. What do you do...

Some seemed to question whether test cuts were real, it they actually happened in antiquity,...

Mickey asks: Excuse my ignorance, but.. A seller who I buy from a lot has cent me a "GG 1804 Half Cent for evaluation to see if I want to buy it. He says he IDs it as having stems and crosslets. I got the stem part, but what are the crosslets? Thanks. The crosslets are the serifs on the...

Posting the advice I just did to the guy who asked about the key dates made me think about the profusion of Red Books I've got laying around here. I've bought one every year since 1998. If anyone (including the guy who originally asked the question) wants one and doesn't mind that it will probably...
