Introduction of Coins

Circulated examples are plentiful in low grades, but examples in problem-free grades of F through XF are more challenging. Sliders grading AU-58 are not too difficult to find, and a collection of Barber Halves in this grade is a popular quest. There are no varieties reported for 1895(P).Read More
