Just curious, if an eBay purveyor of fakes is caught and stopped, all they have to do in order to resume operation is register with a different...
There is something fishy about the site despite its sharp look. Prices are way too low in many cases. A 1798 VG08 2nd Hair Style Large Cent sold...
Ok, thank you. So you are you saying that Early Copper with any red or red/brown is worse off in a Dansco album than in, say, a standard old...
Thanks for this. It's good to consider your idea of including some exceptional examples. That way appraisal doesn't become so involved, and it...
In the original thread the idea of added mint marks is brought up. Then just a couple of days ago the other post on this topic ('Collections in...
What an amazing post with great illustrations. The transcript of Hofman's plea and the photo of his vehicle make for a vivid retelling. And the...
Yes, I've read that the first-year approach is a nice way to go. The Type 1 LS 25Cs don't leave much choice and the prominent date wearing off...
I see. What do you consider to be the greatest long-term risk?
I appreciate that perspective. No doubt there is a lot of that going on. I've been wondering about a standard of grading down to the single...

I don't know how many CT members check out Gerry Fortin's site, but his daily blog addressed this issue morning. I had taken the liberty of...
My apologies Jeff, you did mention that first point in your reply. Got distracted here. The question becomes just what size was that...
I think an important point that we did not mention is that, as you say, the low mintage was known early on and it's the collectors who increased...
I'm sure they do. But you are right - there are around 7000 '16D s slabbed by PCGS and only 300 or so of the '27's. But remember that this...
I agree. That's it.
Yep thanks. I stand corrected after all. The main thread was about future value though. I was only trying to show that it is worthwhile to...
I'll bet that's it.
Are 1916-D's really that common to find for sale? Right now eBay only lists 241 pieces and there are 31 on Collectors Corner. In 50 states that...
Yes that was the confusion in these recent posts. I did use 2.5 grams and multiplied by the .90 silver content on the initial post, so that...
