Anyone else order these and get theirs yet? My gosh the lincolns are UGLY in the 3 I got!!!! It is like a lot of little bubbles/dots on the obverse. On one of them, it is like the metal blotched up around the "S" in TRUST and goes aroud the rim for a quarter inch or so and the "3" in 2003. At...

There were only two coins issued for Jersey during the reign of Edward VII, both minted in 1909, the penultimate year of his reign. The bust on the obverse was modeled and engraved by George William De Saulles, the Royal Mint's Chief Engraver from 1893-1903. It also appears on other...

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the "Q." stands for in his name? I am sure someone out there knows. Or is this the best kept secret in numismatics? Thank You..

I have been offered an MS 1879-CC Morgan but the CC looks 'moth eaten'. Is that a known die? A known fake? Any comments or info would be appreciated. H. Craig Hamling

I just took out some of my Silver Bullion to take a look at them and noticed that some of the rounds had a pinkish/reddish tint near the outside rim on both sides (The ones mostly effected are the Chinese Lunar coins and the Kookaburras. Others are showing this too, but not as much.) These...

Brad Hollender, the guy with the tons of Accugrade slabs on eBay that was discussed here at length in the past week wishes me to post this. He bought a coin from me last year and has seen my name on this newsgroup. He apparently doen't know how to post so he asked me to do this. I will post...

I have a customer looking for a PCGS MS-67R 1945 Lincoln Cent. Should be easy, right? Could find any in that grade at the Balto ANA, and I discovered that grade is UNPRICED in Coin Universe. The Lincoln Cent delers I spoke to say they haven't seen one in MS-67 in close to 2 years. 33 in all are...

Hi everyone, Just wondering if anyone has a 1958 D Roosevelt dime to sell. Preferable grade is MS-65+. It can be slabbed by PCGS, NGC or ANACS or if you have a good picture I can look at, I can buy it raw. Thanks, Fred

NGC and PCGS now are calling the Snow-3 examples Proof as as well as the much more available Snow-9 (restrikes) ALL proofs! This is one of the 300-500 original examples struck for members of Congress in 1856. 1000-1500 were restruck in about 1860 almost all of which were Snow-9. The Snow-9 has...

In article 8ij_a.90734$cF.28702@rwcrnsc53, says... In their email subscription from PCGS I received and in their Market Report that states "New Jefferson nickel may be delayed until 2004. Either way, there will be no Proofs with the new reverse this year." I was...

I was going to list more proof and mint sets, but they need me to run to the store for the DQ, so I will wait for another day. I did get the 1994 three coin Veterans proof silver dollar set listed; http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3041091433 the 1992 White House proof silver...

Front page of the Aug. 19 of Numismatic News. The logo is bad enough but seeing someone wearing it like a toga - this is just..... gross. Anthony Swiatek seems to have a "this is really stupid" look on this face.
