Thanks Speedy for sharing that web page with us, me in particular. I just can't get enough of those toned coins. The colors are out of this world!...
Whizzed, dipped or thumbed, it's a beautiful example. I'd loved to have it for myself. I don't think 40 was too much to pay. Nice find!
Had me going wondering what the h--- is a "top pop", but then it hit me "top population" OK. Now lets get to this blunt 9. Is the blunt a...
This question has interested me for some time. As a collector of proof sets on original packaging I too have questioned the integrity of some of...
Welcome to the forum. The ASE's where first minted in 1986. The case that yours is in is not a mint product and is causing the coin to tone. It...
I wouldn't have a raw coin slabbed unless it could be worth hundreds of dollars. But I will buy slabbed coins particularly PCGS slabbed coins...
I think you nailed this one.

Wow! That all good news. Thanks for the input on where to look for more beauties like this one. I can't wait to see this one up close and...
I'm as happy as a clam right now because I got lucky last night and won a bid on a 1942 proof cent that has been graded by NGC at PR63. I know...
I'm with you. I'll have to arrange to get one of these to go with my ASE collection.

Thanks for the quick replies. All you guys that have replied so fast are one reason I have made CT my home choice for "coin talking". Every reply...
