It is my belief that some truly exceptional U.S. gold coins are underappreciated for a number of reasons, and in this blog we’ll look at a few of these…
A year-set focuses on a specific year of issue and attempts to include an example of each date/mint combination. A year-set can be a somewhat random selection, or it can have numismatic/personal significance.
In my opinion, the flaw behind price guides is that they attempt to commoditize coins. In their eyes, all 1904 double eagles graded MS64 are worth the same. However, we know this is not the case.
At DWN, I get to handle many interesting coins. Some make it to the website; others don’t. In this blog, I thought I’d share images and impressions of three particularly interesting coins which I handled in March 2019.
The once-in-a-generation US coin collection being assembled by Dell Loy Hansen and David Lawrence Rare Coins gives students of rarity an unusual opportunity to determine the condition rarity of many issues.
The 19 different Liberty Head double eagles struck at the Carson City mint between 1870 and 1893 form one of the most popular series in American numismatics.
