I just wanted to post an update to my particular dealings with this. Today, I got my money back. Since I purchased through Google Wallet, I...
Absolutely go elsewhere. I'd suggest even finding a "local" bank, some of them still exist. I've had all sorts of problems with the larger...
Folks like these things? I thought they were just filler and was planning on throwing mine all out as I break apart my sets. Instead, now I...
This wasn't a BIN, but a good auction win. For $36.02 I got a 1956 proof set, with this nice Type 1 Franklin. The best part is that it was a...
These were in the "blue envelope" uncirculated mint sets, and the pics are through the plastic. I think I have one more, have to find it....
Ok, here's some pics of what I have for the penny history album as I mentioned earlier in the thread. Personally, I don't really care either way...
Would it be possible to figure this out if one had a supposed coin? I have a historical album containing a history of pennies, and one of the...
Awesome story, sometimes things just work out the right way. Beautiful coin.
Yep, now I can understand the term... :) I just assumed a worn coin like that was kinda useless. It's not the most aesthetically pleasing to me...
I just won a '56 proof set for $36 on an ebay auction, while another one I'm watching is up to almost $50 at the moment. If you're patient you...
Can someone explain to me the "lowball" coin phrase? I think it means coins that are very worn from some of the post/picture correlations I've...
Ok, catching up with this thread. Here's my well-worn contributions, 1911-1915. I'll pop up 1916-1919 in a followup post. Sorry for only the...
I don't know about the lettering, but it looks like a peg leg to me.
I kinda like it, especially for some of the 2-coin commemorative sets I have. Would be nice to have both coins from the same set in one holder,...
Cool, thanks for the confirmation. Anyone care to hazard a guess as to what this might grade out to be? Here's a couple more pics I took this...
So, I've been proof set hunting for one of these, it's my first try into examining coins and looking for the different strike varieties. Think...
Also, looks like they have a similar blowout for "lower quality" proof sets:...
Hmm, this is interesting, I might have to give this a shot for giggles.
In addition to hitting ebay, PM me. I've got a bunch of proof years that I'm not very interested in keeping, and would be willing to offload. I...
For me, the PM's / coins are not meant as a primary vehicle for retirement savings, but more an insurance policy of their own on many levels...
Separate names with a comma.
