Interesting since my 1856 is in a PCGS slab. I looked it up at PCGS to see what its date of submission was, but that appears not to be a matter of...
Yeh, it is. I need to dig out my info about how to determine the amount of rotation. I carefully stored the directions away which means that...
This is the last variety I needed for my Classic Head Half Cent Set (1809-1836) As you can see from the label it's a Cohen-1, the rarest of the...
When I completed my set (now long gone) I went with a nice representative 93-s and 89cc. My 93-S was a VF; don't remember about the 89-CC. As for...
Don't know, but the coin has enough value that I'm not going to fuss with it. "Fiber" is what Krause has it labeled as. I know about the use of...
During WWII the Japanese had occupied an portion of China, essentially Manchuria but called Manchukuo (or Manchoukuo). As the war continued, it...
If you want to be able to identify "die combinations / varieties" then you need the reference specific to the series you are interested in. For...
Hard to say without a good closeup. Looks like it may be one of those "AU-58 or MS-65" things.
Isn't that a double negative? Which means it IS going to happen?

I can remember being in northwest Montana in the summer of 1960 working for the Forest Service. It was a summer job for college students. Comes...

I was surfing slabbed coins in eBay and ran into the same old problem. Many sellers on eBay of slabbed coins, particularly NGC slabs, just don't...
Rick knows about slabs. Beyond that he knows how to make a profit. Do they ever show a comparison of how much they paid vs. how much that sold...
If I understand correctly, you can buy with PayPal but you won't be able to sell using PayPal only (which is the way I sell).
There is possibly another factor that I don't know much about. Collectible coins and stamps are treated differently than other items for sale. For...
If that were true then they can forget about their coin category. I bet about 90% of current listings are not worth slabbing. IMO the minimum...
I think they mean pixel count, 800 x 800 pixels, etc. I've got Photoshop Elements so I can do things like that. And maybe there's other s/w that...
You'll do better by storing each coin separately. Even 2x2's would be better than tubes. Of course if you buy in tube quantity, putting the coins...
I only buy slabbed items so I don't concern myself as much with dealers. I have a favorite EAC dealer and a favorite small cent dealer. Most of...
Separate names with a comma.
