When a person puts together a set like this I automatically think it's a birth year set. If that's true, all I can say is "youngster" :D I've got...
Fine examples of why I stay completely away from rainbow toned coins. It's enough that I'll be unlikely to see a profit on even part of my...
I decided back in the 80's that buying Mint collectibles was not the way to go. So I got rid of all of that material. But I have found that 80's...
I've found a coin listed on eBay that I've been looking for. It's in an OGH graded MS-61. BUT it has a gold CAC sticker on it. Based on what I...
My usual comment. For that price it should be slabbed.
You need to get a Krause World Coins 1901-2000 catalog. Also look at this post from in here at CoinTalk:...
Looks cleaned too.
Yep, the Japanese issued coins for Manchukuo (Manchuria) from 1933 to 1945. I've got most of them.
Thanks, all. It looks like my terminology was a bit different but it was the right idea. BTW, I have it ID'ed as an LM-8. >> Working << Nope,...
1830 Half Dime. What is the "dimple" below the ear and towards the back of the jaw. My Opinion: It's a centering mark. But I've never seen one...

True, and I don't see it on the coins shown except for maybe the 1990 nickel. I'm not convinced that they are error coins.
Oops, I forgot a couple steps. 1. Put my raw coins in new 2x2's. That takes a while since I have to label each one. 2. Photograph all of them. The...
Well, I think I've got the statistics for my Capped Bust half dime set correct. Number of Different Die Marriages: 126 Number of Die Marriages I...
I use the Grellman book mostly since it was the first of the two that I got. They are set up differently so it's not unusual that I'd use the one...
I've got both Wright's and Grellman's books. Buying them both will put a crimp in your numismatic budget.
I agree that sellers have taken a beating on more than their share of disputes. BUT Where are the other venues? Stack's? No way. There is very...
I've bought many coins on eBay. I've had two problems. 1. An order was not delivered. Tracking showed no progress. Dealer refunded. And I've dealt...
