Taking time and doing a full inventory is VERY helpful. I keep discovering errors. One of my new rules is that a coin doesn't go into the new...
TPG's don't give an attribute to all varieties and special items. Maybe they can't. Maybe the items are in a category they choose not to. Look...
I'm NOT the one. I found out at the ANA classes a couple years back that I'm a technical grader. That means I tend to grade a bit low. The EAC...
"Last" doesn't make them rare. The number available vs. the number wanted does (supply and demand). And I haven't bought Mint products for...
I just look at the two 4's and they look different to me. And, of course, it hasn't been authenticated.
I wouldn't be worried about it's authenticity if it's slabbed by NGC or PCGS. I'd be worried about paying and not receiving it. As for when I got...
IMO NOT eBay. I don't trust their buyer protection. "In person at a major show?" Certainly a good method IF the coin is slabbed by NGC or PCGS....

The good thing about those OGH rattlers is that they were done in the pre-gradeflation days. The grading was accurate by ANA standards.
I've got a full set of "Arrows at Date" Seated Liberty coins, all face values: Half Dime, Dime, Quarter and Half Dollar. I'm mostly curious if...
IMO only. Looks to me it looks like there's a LOT of porosity involved. The surface has been altered so much that to get that area even closely...
I'm looking for the definitive books on Seated Liberty coins. I surfed the Net and can only find A Guide Book of Liberty Seated Silver Coins...
I'm up at AU. Some nicks here and there but I see little if any wear.
That's where the possibility of it being a strike-through comes in.
I'm in the "die scratch" group. Or possibly a "strike through". I can't see it being a die crack otherwise the MM would be cracked also. As for a...
I understand your triplicate situation. I've run into that if I'm not careful with my inventory. I always feel I could have use the money spent on...
First I'd do my best to determine which of the two auction results was more likely to be a true measure of its value. A result from a large,...
I've got a rather nice US Type Set (1793-1964). It's my aim for it to be complete according to what's listed in the Red Book. I was creating a...
I agree.
Only a very small percentage of people know about the 1909 S-VDB. For the rest of the US it's just another cent (penny to them).
