Does anyone know if some of the 2004-P Sacagawea dollars were made with a matte finish? I have some that appear with a regular finish and some with a matte, or grainy, surface on the obverse. They almost look like badly cast reproductions, but just the obverse. At a recent coin show I saw two...

Got home late from work tonight and found my swap package on the counter. It was,,,,,,,,,, an awesome PCGS 1948-D MS64FBL. Very nice looking coin. Great luster and a nice strike. A great addition to my slowly growing Franklin set, especially since I didn't have a 1948-D yet. I gotta say, it...

Any predictions on the business circulated Westward series nickels? I have only been able to find 5 (all Denver mint)in circulation here in Hawaii out of ten rolls of nickels. Very popular coin it seems for Hawaii collectors. Is it like this on the mainland? The coins I have found are in About...

I don't have a picture of it, but a couple weekends ago, I was looking at a coin I figured was artificially toned while in an NGC slab. It was a white silver dollar with a bluish area of toning (not quite a perfect crescent) on the upper obverse. What made me think it was artificially toned was a...

Last week I went through a $100 box of nickels from my bank and filled a couple of holes in my folder. In that box I found a coin from Singapore and a coin from Isreal. What are the odds of that??
