I handle all my coins, I just don't think it's that big of a deal. Bullion is collected for it's metal content so I don't think you can complain...
would grade f15 on wear, but it looks a little porous. If you are getting into the large cents I would suggest joining EAC, eacs.org. For...
seriously, I have a bank roll of 2010 phili cents, i am fairly sure some of them would grade 66rd, does that mean the roll is worth 10K!!!...
Just a couple points to make. Aside from the original post being a little over the top, good for you. This is how supply and demand works. The...
Change your paradigm. You assume the medals are worth $2000, it's the wrong assumption. The medals are only worth what someone is willing to...
I hear this all the time and want to point out the fallacy, there is no money on the sidelines. All the money is somewhere, it only moves around....
+whatever on the PO Box.

Lovely apple cheeks you have there Eduard!!! I wish all my 1794s had those kind of surfaces :)

Are there any late date die state collectors in here? Here is a 47 N18 terminal die state d I picked up this week. The large 7 over medium 7 is...
Ebay is probably going to be your best friend on this one. They are not rare, but I understand dealers want a premium. This one just sold for...
Not sure if this applies for the franklin halves or not, but for early copper PCGS or NGC MS 62 would almost certainly not be a mint state coin....
Depending on the variety it may be enough to attribute. The die cracks around the 8 on that coin are enough to attribute it as an S-178, an R5+...
The other thing to remember is early copper collecters are craze :) I paid around $250 for this, which afterwards in all honesty I felt guilty of...
I think it largely depends on what you collect. If you are collecting ms morgans buy them slabbed as they are plentiful and fungible. If you...
To me the three biggest things a seller on ebay needs in order of importance are 1) 3-7 day no questions asked return policy, 2) Accurate...
