Good morning! Long time! I was flipping through a friend’s trade binder last week and this 1896 South African 2 1/2 Shillings stood out to me. Yes, because I’m a sucker for toned silver and the guy is rocking a pretty impressive beard to boot!, but also because ... [Full Post]
Just got this press releases emailed to me and had to share! Look at that star error – unbelievable! Here’s the full release below, courtesy of Jeff Flynt (thx man!) ****** Rare Mint Error Discovered on New 2024 Kennedy Half Dollar, Certified by PCGS as “Dropped Star Obverse” ... [Full Post]
Good morning, friends! Got an email from a friend wondering what the heck those coins are above (his subject line was literally: “Fake dimes?!”), and after being stumped for a few minutes I did some sleuthing :) Turns out, these aren’t actually fake coins at all – they’re ... [Full Post]

So I finally wrapped up evaluating that collection I mentioned in the last post, and wow – what a doozy! The collection itself was fine (approx. 10 hours spent which is normal for this amount of coins), but it was the last pile of “weird coins” I saved ... [Full Post]
As promised, here’s that collection I was working on! I call it the “Z” Collection here, but in my documentation I actually have the client’s name swapped in the quotations which I like cuz it makes it feel more *personal*. And, of course, that’s how all the professionals ... [Full Post]
