Buying a raw coin is a gamble. Buying a slabbed coin is a gamble that the graders didn't miss something (it happens). Crossovers hoping to profit...
Personally, I pay more attention to the bids and not the bidder count. It's easy to see if two people are going at it, or just you and someone...
My first impression was also VG8.
There's another discussion on this. https://www.cointalk.com/threads/elons-looking-at-the-penny.415996/ A purveyor of his own cryptocurrency...
I notice that "city" is spelled "citty." Apparently they used to spell it that way. Never knew that. A Map or Groundplot of the Citty of London...
How can anyone answer without pictures? And why are you keeping a dime for your Lincoln set? Some "cleaned" coins you can't hardly tell, and...

WalMart has 37 million customers a day. If the cent was eliminated, and the average customer gets rounded up by 3 cents, that's a million dollars...
I get the same thrill when I buy a coin that I know I'm buying and it finally arrives! I get the delivered email, go to the post office, admire...
OK, so this didn't actually arrive until January 10, so I'm counting it as a cusp goal achieved (won New Year's Eve, but Heritage didn't...
One-look fake to my eyes.
Well you need some common sense as a buyer too. What kind of buyer thinks a Chinese seller with no feedback has a ton of Morgans for sale? A dumb one.
How do you coin search at a laundromat? Get a ton of quarters from the change machine?
Didn't every kid make a treasure map? We did. I think in our case the idea came from Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson, published 1883....
I have a bunch of WWII era world coins. [ATTACH] I think the only Civil War era is this counterfeit, likely passed down from my great-great...
