To my surprise, I actually managed to get out there to Bonanza. It was not at all a good experience. He was courteous, but didn't spend even a...
True, but I prefer selling locally, just because I dread the idea of dealing by mail, and having someone be disappointed.
Too bad I didn't think of this before. I'm going briefly to Washington, and I thought it might be a good opportunity to slip a few coins in my...
Yay! Thanks, Burton, that means at least I posted successfully. So, first you're saying that if I'd had a camera the image might have been...
Tommy, I'm trying not to be hasty! I've been at this since January! But it's so frustrating. What's strange to me, apropos of the "shrugs" - it...
Okay, I'll do my best to respond, but keep in mind that I'm a total newbie, so I'm not up on the language, and my judgment is, well, questionable....
Not sure if this should be here or the "What's It Worth?" forum. I have two $5 gold coins which, I thought were described as Liberty Bust, but...
Thanks, Spock, I'll keep him in mind - but in this case, I'm hoping to sell a few coins in the near future, and am looking for people in the NY...

Wow, thanks, guys! Apparently you may be right about the condition. If fact, I think I'll make a separate thread. Also, as it happens I was...
Thanks, Jason, but as it happens, I don't do Ebay. Also, thanks, GDJMSP. A couple of people floated a $1000 price - but the trick would be...
Sorry, Numismatic - I'm trying to be clear, but I don't know the language. What part doesn't make sense? So far, the offers I've gotten are...
I so dearly wish that your encouraging words were true! But unfortunately, I've had three people separately tell me that my coin would be best...
I might possibly have an image. Okay, I'm experimenting with trying to post it...
I had to laugh at the idea of my having "picked" a show. It was totally accidental. I had just started to think about avenues for me to inquire...
Yes, I'm afraid so. I'm not a serious, dedicated scholar. I'm just someone who inherited a few coins, trying to sort through them. I think I...
I don't know the jargon and abbreviations! YN is "young numismatists"? What's LCS?
You're right that CL deals require caution. I've done pretty well, though - in fact, met some interesting people. And for anything expensive,...
It was in January, I think, Treashunt, sorry. Taking me a while to post. Having some problems wrestling with the forum and my account.
Well, Chris, by "ordinary" collector, I guess I mean not the multi-millionaire type who gets mentioned in newspaper articles? This was at the...
