Beautiful, beautiful coins. I have been looking around at Bust Quarters for my CAPS album (1800 Type Set). They get pricey fast, haha. But...
The next trick is learning how to safely crack her out. I'm sure YouTube can help.
Haha, I closed the poll. It was stupid anyway. There's probably too many scenarios to truly account for every situation anyway. I was more testing...
So I finally found a very pleasant Trade Dollar. She's an 1877 Trade Dollar, certified by PCGS VF-25. I paid a very respectable price ($210...

I guess we are going to have to get crazy and do things like learn our trade, become smarter about our interests and take pride in both the...
I have always thought the same thing. I don't trust Trade dollars and I tend to trust TPG holders more than the Trade Dollar itself. But it should...

Haha, I totally understand that you get what you like and everybody's different. I was just curious what other folks considered. Its not...
